Default just installed F-sport sway bars

First, the difference in diameter is big, especially the rear. I haven't had a chance to test them on any turns, but I drove over some uneven street road and can already tell a diffence . Although I didn't install them myself because I don't have the space to do, my mechanic friend didn't have any issues and the install is maybe an hour with any type of power tools. Also drained and refilled with Castro synthetic oil. $60 total.

It was night and day for me also. Not quite on rails but good enough. Going to throw on my coilovers tomorrow, hoping for even better handling, though I don't expect it to feel like the way my is300 did.

I've always wondered how the F-Sport shocks and stock springs with F-Sport sways would feel. Could be really good.

Really good, I never had a problem with them. They keep the stock feel but with a little bit of sport involved. I think they are a great investment.

That might be the way i go then. Were they ever uncomfortable? Any comparison to your 4GS?

I'll be converting to Megan coil overs in the near future. I'd rather have the adjustablity of coil overs than just replacing the shocks and springs separate.
