Default Sway bars

I have been looking for suspension set ups and have not been able to find any sway bars. Does anyone know where I can find a sway bar for a 2014 IS350 F-Sport RWD? And what are the best springs to get? ARK, RSR or Tanabe?

SARD make sway bar for our 3is.Yes, it's a lot harder to install compare to other models, but it's still do able with out drop down ur sub frame. That's why Lexus did not release the sway bars set for our 3is and I don't think they will. Maybe they will release under brace.

Actually you can use OEM RC rear sway bar. It's 3mm thicker comparing to the IS one. I do know an aftermarket brand making front and rear sway bar set for our car but looking at the price of them, I rather purchase the SARD kit.

It's will not work Mesh704. No f sport version for our 3is yet.
The RC 350 RWD will be direct fit for our 3is RWD as a member already fitted it. The diameter is 3mm larger but not as stiff as the SARD. However, $150 for RC sway is a steal compare at $340 for the SARD.

Guys,

If there is 10 persons interested in the FRONT & REAR Sway Bar from SARD Racing Japan, I can set up a group buy right away.

Yes, the RC sway bar will fit the 3rd Gen IS, and the RC Front sway bar will NOT fit according to the guy who test the sway bar and found out the rear will fit on 3rd Gen IS a year ago.

Here is the old thread for the SARD Sway Bar.
