Default Sikky ISF/250/350 Adjustable Rear Sway Bars!!

Hey everyone

We were lucky enough to get the chance to install and test one of Sikky’s new Lexus ISF/250/350 rear sway bars! Everything with the install went smoothly and according to plan. The sway bar comes with all the necessary hardware including some really nice urethane bushings to replace the factory units and heavy duty heim joint endlink sets with adjustable preload turnbuckles. As per all Sikky products the quality was top notch. With it being 3 way adjustable you are able to set the bar stiffness to work best for your setup which is a really nice feature. The softest setting is equivelant to a Fsport bar but the two stiffer settings allow you to compensate for larger tires or more aggressive driving style. Check out a few pics below to see the final product. You can contact us locally to get one installed or go direct to Sikky to purchase a sway bar. Here is the link to their website:

Can you post picks of the suspension loaded and the endlink from the rear? Wondering about minimum preload.
Thanks ,

Just FYI:

while I haven't done this mod on my car yet, I will say that the adj. sway bars are, without a doubt my favorite modification ever. I did it to my STi and it made an incredible difference.

I look forward to get these for the IS-F sometime soon.

Before you folks jump, look at posts 6 and 7 here:

I have the F-Sport rear bar and have been extremely happy with it.

These are look awesome. Just as thick as any of the sway bars out there. but with 3 adjustments, should be better that hotchkis...

Lou the shots are from my car. I had the pleasure to get my hands on one of the first sets. I for one am very pleased with the sikky sway bar. The softest setting is equivalent to the f sport. I originally liked my f sport but when I put bigger wheels on the car I had some understeer once again. I'm running it on the second setting. This setting is quite a bit stiffer then the f sport. I believe it has improved handeling greatly. The car feels more solid and the understeer is gone. I can't wait till spring time to play with the 3rd setting at the track.

Jason is correct. The most outer setting on the Sikky bar, softest, is equivalent to the F-sport bar. I contacted SIKKY in reference to more details on the three different settings and was supplied a detailed list of approximate stiffness rates. These number are in a relation to the STOCK bars.

IS250/ISF:

Outer: 48%
Middle: 92%
Inner: 173%


IS350:

Outer: 157%
Middle: 201%
Inner: 282%
