Not the smallest. I picked up a much smaller rear sway bar from a Firebird in a pick-a-part yard a couple of years ago. It is 12mm. I'll drag if out of storage and get some pictures of it.

I agree it is better than no bar at all. Just wondering WHY the factory would re-tool to make such a part when they had larger ones already made.
