What's the best rear sway bar do you recommended for IS250/IS350 RWD?
I'm thinking of getting F sport, but I want something that's smooth as factory as possible, and not too stiff. Thank

Yes f sport all the way, much better if you replace both front and back though and make sure you get your specific year as there were two different kinds for the rear will drive IS250 and is350 depending on year, 2006-2008 was one design and 2009-2013 was another design only for the front sway bar. Rear was the same.

^^^^Not sure what your asking. I have an ISF and I've had the F-Sport rear sway on it for almost seven years now. I sold my stock rear sway to an IS350 owner, who said he loved it. We both came out happy.
See the chart I compiled a few years ago listing sway bar diameters. I crawled under a few ISX50s at a dealers and measured. They thought I was nuts

I'm on an IS-C, but the rear sway makes a huge difference. It's immediately noticeable with no perceptible drawbacks to ride quality - it clearly is in my opinion the only "must have" mod for this line of vehicles. Turns are much stronger and more confident (the Convertible has massive body roll, even in FSport guise).
I'll install the front sway shortly, I just wanted to see and compare the differences between the two. I'm hoping the front will make it more precise and sharp, as I feel as reported by most people who've only done the rear that there is a slight tendency to oversteer.

Also, there are 3 different rear sway bars for the ISx50 RWD, though I assume you did all your measurements on an 06-08 car?

Some people say front does not make that much different. Rear is the best bang for the buck. I'll check it out. Which sway bar would you recommend?

The forum consensus seems to have changed from getting the rear bar only to getting both done, so that's the recommendation I would go with. It's not a significant additional cost.
