I use the F-Sport Sway Bar, and yes your understandings are correct. See these thread:

Went to the dealership to inquire about the f sport sway bars and they said they don't exist. The isf comes equipped with the beefiest bar available for the IS line up from lexus. ..

what is the end to end ( length ) of this bar?
the F-Sport IS250 AWD 17.5 Dia. will also fit? if the end to end length is the same length as my 430sc bar I will be installing bar in my 430sc car. my main thing is to know the complete length of the bar + the corners.
with a little more help from you guys I may make this work.
again complete length of this bar.

From motoiq dot com:

We opted for a Sikky rear anti sway bar. The Sikky bar is 2mm larger than stock at 19 vs the stock 17mm and is straighter with less bends which makes it more effective.

^^^^Doesn't answer the OPs question. I attempted to crawl under my F this morning. Not really enough room to do it easily. I'll try some other time.

The stock F sway bar has a middle kick-up section to allow the use of a full size spare that is used in some markets other than North America.

Both the Sikky and the F-Sport are straight (not for use in other than North America markets). The straight design along with the increase in diameter will make for a stiffer bar.

Lou, are there any major differences b/t the Sikky sway bar compared to the F-Sport sway bar? Specifically, does the Sikky sway bar outperform the F-Sport bar by so much that it justifies being 2x as expensive? Sikky is $300, F-Sport (thru Sewell) is $156.

as for as I know the Sikky is 19mm and F-Sport 19mm no difference. 19mm is 19mm
that why I need to know the length so i know it will fit the 430sc.
the guys in japan say the 19mm is to much for the street great for track.
