Default Poly sway bar bushings available in different sizes?

I've been looking around on ebay for X-type poly sway bar bushings. It looks like 3 places offer them (I think most of them are from the UK). There are a few different sizes available for the sway bar, ranging from 18mm, 18.2mm, 19mm, 20mm, and even 22mm. I'm not sure which size to get. Still waiting on a response from the seller. The 18.2mm size listing says it accounts for worn out sway bars. So I am thinking I would go with either the 18mm or 19mm. Would the smaller size be harder to put on? Bracester on here said he thinks the sway bar bushings are 19mm. What size should I get and do you think it's worth the extra $30-40 to get the poly bushings over the oem bushings? I have lowered my car with the sport shocks, and now it's just making some clunking on bumps in the front sway bar, and a little creaking in the back once in a while.

I'm like 90% sure the stock bar is 19mm. And yes get Polly bushings if you can.

Oh, and my rear bar is just sitting a pile of stock parts I'm not using so I can measure it tomorrow.

Ok cool. 19mm sounds right. The seller that has the 18.2mm bushings says it accounts for worn sway bars. Maybe they stretch out over time. 19mm sound good though they are not so tight that they can't go on. I would like to get the bushings but right now my main project is getting the car running normal. Turns out my water pump is leaking and I broke a bolt off it trying to tighten it too much so now I have two problems instead of one.
