Default Upgrade -- Sway Bar Bushings

Let me start out by saying YES--upgrading swaybars is the best upgrade..however wondering if the 2nd Gen IS has any possibiliy of upgrade via just the sway bar bushings.

I know other cars have some minor enhancements when this is done--granted not as good as new performance bars, but some.

I know Daizen has some stuff under development
http://www.daizensporttuning.com/model/lexus-is.html

but they have not released anything, anyone tried anything else, or the FSport bushings with the OEM bar?

Am i crazy?

Just get the rear sway bar already! It's the single best improvement suspension wise after springs. Look in the classified section if you don't want to spend too much money. Daizen hasn't even released any of their stuff anyways.

Don't count on Daizen for any future products. They've fallen off the face of the Earth.

true--but i have been reading--many folks have issues when they get just one--car feels unsteady.

The problem is no one states if this is a 350, 250 or 250 AWD having these issues..... do you guys just have the rear?

also there is confusion in some posts i have searched--can the 250 AWD really have a better OEM rear swaybar than the 350?
