So F Sport is 151% stiffer than stock and the Hotchkis is 140% stiffer than stock? Is this right?

Hotchkis has 2 settings, one is only 70% the other is 140%, either way not as good as the F-sport...plus the hotchkis front bar is even bigger than the F-sport one, so more understeer in the hotckis setup all around.

Hey CL, I was going to purchase the PTR0253080 (Rear Sway Bar for IS250 AWD) and I have an IS350... you guys know the reason. But here is my problem. The place that still actually sells this part www.trademotion.com (i think they are also www.lxparts.com) don’t ship to Canada. errrr I really don’t want to have to pay double the price for the purchase and double the price for installation when it will only raise the performance by 6.3 percent for the front sway bar.

Anyone knows where I can just get the rear sway bar for my IS350 and get it in Canada?

What is the difference between the
F-Sport Sway Bar Set (2006-2008 IS250 & IS350 RWD models)
&
F-Sport Sway Set (2009 & Newer IS250 & IS350 RWD models)?

I found a the set for 381 + 34 for shipping from sewell. Is this a good price?

& I also called Lexus of Westminister parts dept, and they told me with the CL discount its $470 not shipped.

Why such the big price difference?

There was a bushing change to 2009 on the rear bar. The bushing retainers were changed. Check out this thread:
