Are you referring to the OEM tires being slick or the steering response being bad due to the soft LCA bushings? I'm reading a lot about RR-USRS. Seems like a good fix to help with the handling and uneven tire wear. My car's previous owner has the car on 245/275's.

I guess I know this going in - BUT the stock wheels and tires are definitely undersized for the type of vehicle it was (is). This has been corrected on the RCF and the GSF. I am running RCF wheels with 295/30 and 255/35, I also have the RRRacing LCA (USRS) bushings and the rear FSport sway bar. My F now handles like it's on rails.

Lou - Is your car a daily driver or do you also spend time on the track? I'm interested in the RR-USRS to fix the tire wear issue but wonder how it might effect daily driving around town.

Since I had an IS250 before my F and the fact this forum has a wealth of information, I knew a lot going into the purchase of my F.
But when I purchased my IS250, I wish I knew the back seats don't fold down.

^^^^^^^^Which sway bar did you put on the rear again?? Sikky or Fsport

Sorry this was in response to I8ABMR's post at the end of the first page...............

Lou,

Big difference with the Fsport rear sway bar when you put in on?? Any difference in diameter between that and the Sikky one?

My quote from another thread:



Big difference No! But there was a difference. I've had it for for over 7 years now, I guess I'm sort of used to it being there. But, I do remember an improvement in a more planted rear end with it. IIRC I was on stock sized tires. I tend to ignore Sikky products, so I can't answer your question. However this chart that I made up years ago my help you. Note - I crawled under a few IS's at a dealer and measured with a mic. Everyone thought I was nucking futs

So what do I wish I knew before buying my car...

I wish I had reviewed this forum before purchasing the vehicle I chose (a 2008 w/54k). Would've bought a 2009 or later to get the upgraded interior materials which don't deteriorate in high heat & humidity. My interior currently looks great, but it's a west coast car that's been treated kindly.

Interesting to note how the thread morphed into a discussion about modifications.

Thanks Lou! Now just debating whether to wait until I put on coil overs first, then do the F-Sport, or just put on the F-Sport sway bar on first with the stock suspension/w swift springs?

Maybe it's just me or my car in particular but the windows are ridiculous to clean and keep clean. The rear window is just stupid. I've never in my life had such a crappy time keeping windows clean and streak free.

Thats all... Nothing too crazy. Dirty windows suck but it's not slowing me down any...

Anyone have the list of part numbers to install an F-sport rear sway bar on a 2011?

Also, i dont see many people doing the front sway bar. Why?

It's Part No. PTR02-53080!

Did you not look at the chart I posted above? If you look at it, you'll see that the dimensions are the same. The only difference I could see is in the bushings.

Sikky makes a front sway bar. It was a general question to the audience. Thanks for the PN.

^^^^Sorry if I misunderstood, but you asked for the FSport rear bar PN and then about the front bar. One could reasonably assume you were talking FSport for the front bar also. In addition, I tend to ignore anything Sikky.

Why is that? I have seen proven results from a number of their products. What's your take on them?

Vitveet

I'd like to know the answer to this as well. They are a company that's been around for a good while now and I've only heard of a few negative feedbacks about them.
