Suspension Change between 06-08 IS and later 2nd Gens?
I have a 2009.
I was looking at Hotchkis Swaybars and saw these:
06-08 Lexus IS350 RWD Hotchkis Front 32mm Rear 19mm Adj SPORT Sway Bars 22438
The listing only lists 2006 to 2008 though. What changed between those years that would make these not fit my 2009?

Front sway bar end links changed quite a bit, if you wanted to use these you'd need 06-08 front end links.
Rear sway bar bushing brackets changed quite a bit on non-sport models (sport models kept using the same type), if you have a non-sport model, you'll probably need to order new sway bar bushing brackets (x2) and bolts (x4).

^Jeff coming through again with the info!
Just my $.02 though, you can get both the front and rear F-sport sway bar set for much less :
