From the people who have seen it, nothing's different. If anything, its nothing too noticeable.

As far as the specs in the brochures state the front sway bar is smaller while the rear is larger.

Front/Rear (mm)

2002:
28.2/27.2

2003:
27.2/28.6

As far as which is better for what application, time will tell.

Sorry, Brad is right. Front sway bar is smaller and rear is larger. I have no idea which is better. I tried to find out why the switch was made by talking to several dealers and by calling AH. I received 2 responses:

1) Change in sway bar vendor ???

or

2) to decrease oversteer.

However, the individuals I talk to clearly did not know. I am no engineer, and I do not know if the change would even be in the right direction to correct oversteer, and to be honest I don't even if you would want to correct oversteer. Sorry
