Default Which to do first ? FSTB or sway bar kit

I'm looking to do some suspension mods on my new IS300 to run some track days this summer.

What do you guys think is a good first starting point, the FSTB or a front/rear sway bar kit ?

Any favorite vendors ? Website links ?

Thanks for any assistance !

At this point there is no really legit front strut tower bar. Cunco( i think thats the name) makes one but you need to have spacers. Head over to IS300.net and do a search on the forums. This has been talked about a lot.

Speaking not from Lexus knowledge but general knowledge, I think sway bars will help more at the track. The body is pretty rigid right now and the FSTB will only tweak the handling whereas the stiffer bars will transform the handling. Anyone else agree?

I would do sways first and then the STB. The cars are still that THAT stiff...I would do both...
