So does AWD sway bar fit perfectly on 09 IS350 RWD?? I found some at ebay.. If modification is required, I will just get the sway bar kit from sewell.
Front and rear.... I don't want the front but no choice...
All I need to know is fitment without modification. Help me out

Ok, just to let everyone know, I have located the last 5 Rear sway bars in the country. Superstition Springs Lexus of Mesa Arizona has 5 left. PTR02-53080, which works for the IS350 06-08, or IS250. $180.00
Finally!!
Finally!!

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

I'm just going to get the kit from Sewell. It should be much easier to install

I installed the f-sport sway and I haven't had a chance to fully test it so I can't tell you if I notice any difference. Plus when I got the car it spent more time in the body shop and dealer than in my possession. So I don't know much how the stock sway bar feels in the first place. I have a little ideal on some turns but didn't have it long enough, 2 weeks with the stock sway and a week with the f-sport.

Thanks, at least its nice to know that it helps improve car handling. The install was very easy. It took me an hour but if I did it again it could do it in 15min? I did a lot of pre checks, water break, and phone break.

Ok, My PTR02-53080 Rear sway came today Finally! I am going to attempt to install it myself on some ramps I borrowed.
I read through this thread, but I was just wondering if there was any additional parts or bolts I need? Does it just use all the stock mounts and bolts? I havent looked under the car yet.. Thanks!!

I just recieved my Rear Sway Bar from Sewell yesterday but it didn't come with instructions. Anyone know where I can download the pdf - I could not find them on the Sewell site.

Ok, thanks! Got my rear installed and WOW what a difference!! I feel like I can go into turns and nothing gives anymore!! I feel planted in my seat without moving when I turn! So glad I got this! Makes it 10X more fun to drive!
Ohno,
I'm not sure how you cant notice the difference? I have a 350, but I would imagine the same would be felt on a 250.. For me its night and day! I knew the first turn i made at 10 mph that something felt better!!
