Default F-sport sways and IS-F

I have a 2008 IS250 with F-sport sways. I am anticipating a trade for an IS-F late next year. I wonder if the F-sport sway bars I have on my 250 would fit on the IS-F. Does anyone know if these are interchangeable? Thanks.

I'm assuming you have a RWD? The short answer is yes, and visa-versa. The front sway on the F is the same bar used in the F-Sport Kit, just painted black. The Rear bar on the F is 17mm the F-Sport kit bar is 19mm. I have the F-Sport rear bar on my car. I sold my OEM bar to an IS350 owner.

^^^^Any Lexus Dealer. It's Part No. PTR02-53080. It's the old F-Sport Kit for the IS 250 AWD. I don't have an answer for you for the endlinks. My stock ones are just fine so far.

^^^^Yes, flatter cornering and a slightly harsher ride. My wife noticed the ride harshness right away, and asked what I did. I, of course, being the weeny that I am, told her that I did nothing. She has not mentioned it since

Am I glad I did it You Bet
