That has actually been a matter of considerable debate, since depending when you looked Lexus published two opposite sets of numbers for 250 and 350... and then further someone did parts cross-referencing and found the stock bars were the same on both cars.



But I do know the one guy who has tried it both ways and posted here about it said he did notice a difference adding the F-sport front as well compared to just running the F-sport rear, though it wasn't as much of one as going from both stock to F-sport rear.

sorry, let me be a little more clear.. yes, the fronts will have a difference, but it wont be that much better. The rear however, you will feel a bigger difference. =)

Agree... It was my first mod.

Saves a lot of heartache from having to touch-up paint or re-paint. You'll be relieved to know your paint is safe when cars in front kicks up some rocks. If you have dark color paint, do it right away...

why does everyone say coils for a 250? if you got a 250 go Airrunner, BBS LM's and a Endless BBK those are must have~

F-sport sway bars (for the set) are available on Sewell Lexus:
http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2006/1796.html
If you register your CL account, it comes out to be about 390+ shipping.

Here's a picture of my car with redouts. I got them from Aerotect.
