Installed the rear F-sport sway bar today. Took around an hour to install, was a bit hard with only 1 jack and my 17 open wrench missing. Immediately noticed a difference when cornering, happy with it so far. Might look into the front f sport bar, or (reportedly) the is-f front bar is an improvement over the stock 350 bar as well.

Nice upgrade bro. you'll get a better response and feeling with the new sway bar if paired with SIKKY or FIGS adjustable rear sway bar end links.

AFE Pro DRY S Stage-2 Intake

Butt-dyno proven hp gains. But never the less, the is350 sounds like an IS-F when the 2nd stage intake opens up when you get on the gas with this AFE intake.

Finally got around to installing some 350 front calipers. Bought them used previously painted and sanded them down, fresh 3 coats of G2 in blue, and some decals. I think they came out pretty sweet. Now I just need to ditch the lobster claws.

Looks good bro. I actually about to do mine soon too but not upgrading to the 350 calipers, my new wheels won't clear. I see you upgraded the rotors while you were at them. What did you go with and how do you like them?

The rotors are Powerstop slotted and drilled that I got from rock auto. I actually had the same rotors before with the 250 brakes (obviously they were smaller in size) but I've been happy with them. I've got a matching set all the way around. Slotted rotors can be a little noisier than smooth rotors but these are still pretty quiet.

Got this in, didn't notice it was in my e-mail for a few days. Everything looks pretty good for an engine at 100k. I guess the sodium is from the oil the dealer used when I last let them change it before DIYing again. Nice little insight though. On that note, has anyone did one of these recently and paid via their website lately? Used a card I rarely ever use, and shortly got fraud charges the next day once it got charged...
