Today I stopped off at my Lexus dealer with a micrometer. I didn't have much time, so I only measured the rears on 3 ISs that were in stock. They had none with a sports package. I measured an IS-250 with 17" wheels, one with 18" wheels, and an IS-350 with 18" wheels. ALL of them measured 16mm.

Just got my Fsport swaybar set and the front sway bars does fit, but the rear does not

De Fsport is a Straight bar (|---------|), while the oem rear sway bar has a bowed/bend (|--\_____/--|) bar. The bow/bend is needed in order to bend around the sparewheel compartment.

Does someone has a picture of the oem rear swaybar and or a picture of the rear fsport swaybar installed?

Thanks!

Did you flip it around?

This is the only installed pic I have, which isn't a very good one:

Yeah, it doesn't fit on cars in many overseas markets

This was discussed a while back-

See posts 14 and 15 in particular.

Yeah i live in holland so i got an euro is250 So what alternative do i have?

I have seen the AWD sway bar has a bend form, will this fit or do i need another brand of sways?

I have seen Jun sway bars, but whats the springrate compared to the Fsport rear sway bar?

and how about ISF sway bar?

The 17mm ISF rear sway has the bend and should fit.

... I would recommend getting the bushings as well due to the larger diameter bar, although there have been others that chose not to purchase the bushings. The part number for the individual bushing is a 48818-30180 and you'll need to get 2.

^^^^

Question 1. Yes

Question 2. There is no F-Sport sway bar for the ISF. On my ISF I am using the F-Sport sway bar kit (the old discontinued kit with the rear only bar) I sold my stock IS-F bar to an IS-350 owner. He was happy with it.

Ok thanks!

I will try to use the ISF rear sway bar, because the front is sharp right now, but i can feel the rear to be very slappy...... drives kinda weird hahaha
