I was more curious than looking to get the F Sport sway bars. I thought they were part of the F Sport package on my 2015 GS. You're right. The car handles very well and certainly stays flat in cornering.

Same here, I have installed sway bars on other cars, but I do not see any need now , mine is 17 F sport AWD @10k miles. Front sway bar is visible and it looks thicker than what I had on my BMW. Of course this car is not track car or wrx sti category car.

I think ,sway bars are fun when they are easier to install, otherwise one should do stiffer lowering springs

Are you guys noticing a bunch of side to side sway while cornering? Maybe the springs are getting weak or the dampeners are failing? My car does not show any signs of needing body roll reduction help (2018 350 f sport AWD). Now, I don't track the car or drive it super aggressively either, but didn't buy a sports sedan to putt around either.

Maybe its because its still fairly new (11 months/4400 miles)?
4400 Spice?! Bout time to trade that worn out thing in. You and I got our 18's around the same time. I'm at 6200 and mine is shot!

Indeed---I just noticed some creases in my owners manual the other day. They will turn into tears, then lost pages, then....well, better trade it in before that happens.
Still loving this car. Hope to hang onto it for MANY years. Zero problems so far with the exception of a little clearcoat damage thanks to a friendly bird that left me a present. I was disappointed that the Wolfgang paint sealer didn't protect it like it was supposed to.
