hey guys, just installed f-sport front and rear sway bars along with the under chassis brace and I can definitely tell the difference. Haven't really pushed it yet but I'll keep you guys updated.

just got my F-sport sways... too bad wasn't able to install since they order the wrong set which was for the 2009 model... No ride sensor bracket.

Took the cover off and notice there are different size screws... does anyone know where the long screws go again??????!??!?!

I believe it should help you in snowy condition. By all mean don't drive like you drive when it's dry, you still have to becareful no matter what. How big is hotchkis bar? I rather go with the bigger one. Cause my civic is running 22mm rear already. For Lexus I'm not so sure.

Put F & R swaybars on my '06 IS250MT last night.

My car now handles better than my brother's '08 335i coupe w/ sports package.

Does anyone have a link to buy just the F-sport rear sway?


I found this for $191, I was wondering if anyone found it cheaper some where else

I ordered mine last week off a lexus parts supplier on Ebay for $175 + $16 shipping (IS250 rear sway bar). I received it 2 days ago and plan on picking up a torque wrench to properly install it on the IS350 this weekend. I look forward to the mod as this car can use a boost in handling from stock.

Sorry, I meant to say I'm using the IS250 AWD rear sway bar for the IS350 (P/N PTR02-53080).

Oh i got it. You bough an F sport rear sway bar only. At first i thought u were going from an is350 (15mm) rear sway bar to an stock is250 (14mm). But you are getting a 19mm rear sway bar. Got it.

that should be a sick set up.

Actually the stock rear sway bar for the IS250 RWD is the same as the 350, 15mm. The 250 AWD stock rear bar is 14mm.
