Thank you everyone for their nice comments! Looks like the first investment would be the sway bars. Also, coilovers seem to be more popular than just springs. And just to make sure, I am hearing that the f-sport springs are just re-branded eibach pro-kits right?
I think the design of the wheels are fine, butI want to change them just because it is chrome. Not my taste.
What do you guys think of with HID vs halogen fogs? Worth the money and effort?
Thanks for the input everyone!

Kurtz,
I am going based on previous posts where the front was only 6%? improvement, and not as noticeable. And I recall another where they mentioned that the front actually added more understeer to the car, which I would not really want the front end pushing on me in a turn. But if the front adds THAT much improvement, then I would be willing to try it also.
Edit: This is on the 350 only... the fron swaybar on the 250 IS a much better improvement.

Not only has Lexus changed the posted numbers before (originally it was the 250 that listed a 6% for one of the bars) but even then they made no sense.
Why?
The stock bar is the same for the 250 and 350.
The F-sport bar is the same for the 250 and 350.
Both front and rear.
So it's impossible for the F-sport front bar to be "more stiff" compared to the stock bar for the 250 than the 350, since they are the same bar on both cars.
But as I say, you can search the many threads where someone did the rear alone, then added the front- 100% of em have been positive about the front bar making additional, noticeable, improvement.

Thanks for the info Kurtz. I am bad about not wanting to read all 1000 messages in a long thread. Now my only issues is getting only the front sway bar... either front/rear kit, or rear alone at Sewell.
