So I guess the sway bar from AWD models are different?
That is correct. Here are the differences provided by CL member Lou:

I think you will appreciate the upgrade, but it might be a hassle to sell the car private party since it has a lien. I don't recommend buying from Carfax. They were at least $1k overpriced on their IS350s when I looked last year.

Just tested out the IS350 linked earlier. It does have the FSport exhaust. Honestly the car did not drive that well. Sure it had the power put just didn't seem controllable. Very jumpy. Shifts were pretty rough but what do you expect from 100K car.

I think for now I'm going to wait a while and see what comes up.

Save up for a bigger upgrade.. Unless ur getting the isf or the 3is it's just waste of money.. u will be paying another 5-6k plus interest so at the end around 7-8k for a higher mileage 100k miles+ vehicle and by the time u finish payment for the loan u will have a high mileage vehicle.

Not a big fan of the 3IS styling especially that grill. We'll see what Lexus does with the 4IS

I think I will save up for a lower mileage newer 2IS, maybe 2011+
