Your LSD is 1.5way right? I have a feeling it's helping negate some of that oversteer

I have the F-sport rear sway bar with coilovers and it handles extremely well on the track.

Yes, I'm using a 1.5 way. The details I provided in my previous post regarding my experience with the Front/Rear F-sport sway bars as well as the full F-Sport suspension kit was based on when I was using the open-differential. From my experience, the car felt very neutral around the corners and only exhibited mild oversteer when I applied the throttle and the extra power was going to the inside wheel.

Yeah I'm guessing the body roll from the stock suspension is probably what's setting it off. It's good to know how differently the sways can affect the car

Here is a sample clip of the F-Sport front and IS-F rear. Very safe, but still able to play when you force it enough

Sounds like you and your passenger had a blast at that AutoX event!

BTW, you get get rid of that annoying "Caution- I Agree" screen on your Nav by updating your Nav disc to a 2008 or above version. You can find an 08 or 09 OEM Nav DVD for dirt cheap on eBay. Trust me, it's well worth it!

wow.. Thanks for the heads up! I thought it was the actual unit itself that makes that screen stay on

Is there a cheaper way to get a hold of the f-sport sway bars, rather than going through lexus parts?
