RE: Verde Sway bars

["Jorge Mazlumian" <jmazl@domain.elided>]

<<In regards to Verde sway bar sizes vs. other Milanos, if it's true that
certain
Verdes had 27mm while others had 24mm, does anyone know when (and if) the
changeover came, and also does anyone know the swaybar diameter of the
Ricambi/Shankle bars, is it more than 27mm or is adding them to a Verde so
equipped a downgrade.
BTW, I was told by a senior Member of the AR Ricambi group that later Verdes
also had beefier torsion bars, can't verify though.

unfortunately they do not give sway bar diameters, but the upgrade ones are
definitely beefier, and much more rigid due to the geometry they have.
As you can see by the parts numbers, there is only one Milano/75 *stock* or
replacement torsion bar AND sway(antisway?) bar for all models.
