87's to '89's were equipped with 30 mm front shafts EXCEPT for those cars equipped with the FE2 option (suspension, ride & handling), in which case they had 34 mm shafts.
Rear shafts were 24 mm, including the FE2 optioned cars.

I found a link all about GTAs that they used WS6 lvl 3 suspension, says sway bars are 36mm front 24mm rear.
Is that for real, didnt think stock were that big.

Here's the scoop. Looks like the 87 - 90 Camaro's with the FE2 had the 34 mm front sway. The 87 - 90 Birds with the FE2 had the 36 mm front sway.
Only from 91-92 did the Camaro's with the FE2 come with the 36 mm front sway.

I'm sure my 86 IROC has a 36mm on it.

I've done a search on the current General Motors Parts catalogue and there are no options or listings for 36 mm front sways on either the '86 or '87' camaro's.
That's not to say they didn't come with them. Go figure.
