isf sway bar installed
Just had an isf rear sway bar installed. I noticed an immediate difference in the rear in terms of reduced body roll, although there still is some.
I did not upgrade the sway bar links, which may be a factor, which I plan to do in the future. I also will be doing the front sway bars.
I tried to do it myself but failed to even budge the tight suspension bolts. And yes, I used a breaker bar but just couldn't get enough leverage (was under my car via ramps).
This is a nice low cost mod, and it will be interesting to see how the handling improves with the end links and front bar

There are isf sway bar kits (bar, bushings, and brackets) sold on Sewell Lexus for the sc430. Using the CL discount, I think the kits run about $140. Check it out. Even used you are probably not going to get better than that...

you can not use the ISF-Sport bar just get the 2008 ISF rear sway bar just so you know 17mm weather straight or like the 17mm is not stiffer. the only way you can use the 19mm is do what Slvbullet did. going from 12mm to 17mm makes a world of difference. I also use the GS 28.6 Front Bar.

Go to Sewell Lexus, search for sc430 assecories, and on the right will be a panel of options one of which is the sway bar upgrade (from the isf). If you don't see it feel free to PM

remember you have to do the bracket mod. for the bracket to fit right like darthsid and myself did.
just get the bar and ISF brackets from swell's and the poly bushing from Fig Eng.
