Default How to tell Sway Bar (AKA Stabilizer) Size?

I've looked under my car's carriage and the SIZE looks like the Whiteline Stuff. How do I tell or measure the size of my sway bar. I think its a stock MY01 bar. I expect stock bar looks thinner.

get some vernier calipers and measure the thickness of the bar. Stock gear is painted black. Whiteline gear is painted a metallic silver.

Lots of different brands and colours... Just measure the diameter of the bar to know what size it is.

are the stock ones solid? I was under the impression they were tubes, though now i think about it that doesnt make a lot of sense.
