Default Need some help before I do the install.

I recently bought the F-sport rear sway bar with both bushings off another member with an IS350.

I am planning to install in on my 09 ISF.
Is it a direct swap with the original rear sway bar?
I read somewhere that on certain IS models, you also need bushing brackets?

Thanks.

Reading about this Fsport sway bar ...I guess it's a must to change on my 08 ISF.

Can you confirm that no need to buy the front and rear set....only the rear?

Is this the par number: P/N PTR0253080

Anything else needed to fit on 08 ISF?

Thanks

there is no benefit from installing the front as they are the same diameter as the stock ones. make sure to check your rear endlinks if you are reusing them. if they look bad and worn i would either get new stock ones or get figs endlinks.

^^^^^^You must have missed my post #10 on the preceding page

A number of folks, noticed it had a larger diameter than the Rear F bar, and thought it would fit. But again, it was never intended by Lexus to be used on the ISF.
