Which Front Sway Bar Bushings -- 22mm or 23mm?

Like the title says.

Energy Suspension makes 2 sets of Front Sway Bar Bushings, 22 mm and 23 mm. I asked them which one for a 5.5 Gen SE 6MT, and they told me to go measure my bar.

Not that I have a problem measuring my bar...

But seriously, which one is the right set? I suppose it's possible the SE model has a thicker FSB, but I never heard of that. For those of you in the know, can you educate, please?

Telling you to go measure your bar is a little too personal, if you ask me....

I think all 02-03 are 23mm, with the 22mm being for 00-01 non SE models. Either way it doesnt matter since yours is an SE

Struts, boots, strut mounts, rotors and pads next Spring... and I figured since the FSB end-links are prone to wear and failure, (and since the kits from Moog are so inexpensive), I'd replace the end-links and FSB bushings.

With all that happening at once, I'm sure to feel a significant change in my ride, but there's no way any of that could be identified as the result of installing ES bushings on the front sway bar.
