oem sway bars compared to H&R sway bars

hi everyone!

noobie questions here

i currently drive a 06 c230 sport and was wondering what the OEM sway bar diameter is? im thinking about upgrading them to the H&R sway bars and was wondering how big of a difference the OEM sway bars are compared to the H&R?

thanks!!

Eibach rear is sooo hard and fat , that whenever i pull up a ramp and mild angles, one of my rear wheels triggers traction control , lol...at first i thought something was wrong, but i noticed it only allows your wheel to travel up/down about 2"-3". whenever i lift my car on a jack ( front) rear wheel stay on floor for about 2" and then it goes up lol...
