Default Sway Bars for 250 AWD

Just got my stock IS250 AWD. Looking to add front and rear sway bars. Which ones are recommended? I know people like the F Sport ones but I believe that's only for RWD. Ty

F-Sport. Bell Lexus is usually the cheapest to buy the set from, here's a listing for the front, and rear sway bars for your AWD model: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LEXUS-OEM-F...75.c1#viTabs_0

Thanks. Deciding between these and coilovers. Any advice? FWIW, I will be driving in a bit of snow and messy roads from time to time.

I'd go with the sway bars first. You have to be somewhat mechanically inclined. The front sub frame has to be lowered slightly to remove the oem front bar. If you follow the instructions to the T you shouldn't have any problems. Depending on where you live. If the bolts are rusted that's another story. You'll need to soak the bolts in penetrating oil a few days prior.

F-Sport Sway bars. I would also order front ISF sway bar bushings part number 48815-53060, as the ones that come with the F-Sport sway bars are polyurethane and will eventually squeak and rattle

EDIT: Not sure if the ISF front sway bar bushings will work with AWD models. If someone can verify if they do or not. If not, make sure you grease the F-Sport bushings or they will squeak in a month
