Official F-sport Sway Bar Thread!

I finally got my F-sport rear sway bar installed today (during 10k service). There is a noticeable difference, but I would not say it's "night and day". Cornering at any speed is definitely flatter, and steering seems a bit more direct (although this could be placebo). Worth doing though, IMO.

After "living" with the F-sport rear sway bar for awhile, I revise my previous opinion and say it does offer a significant improvement. If I had to assign a numerical value, I'd say it's a 30% improvement in body roll when cornering.
A bit off topic but the TSIB low-dust brake pads are much better as well, and I can finally come to a complete stop without a jerk at the end.

Just wondering, my friend had his front and rear f-sport sways installed at the dealership but the color of the sways are black...I thought it was supposed to be a blue colored sways. Are there black colored f-sport sways? i wouldnt think the dealership would put in some other sways in there.

Stock sways are black, but the f-sport ones are blue. Maybe your friend had them powder coated?
Well i was in Santa Cruz last weekend and was heading home around 3am. I went through highway 17 a bit faster than usual. All i can say is, they are the best! This is a most have for those who wants to have a little fun!

as many of you who got the f-sport sway bars installed on your IS x50. Today i had mine installed on stock sport suspension IS 350 and i have to say i did notice a significant improvement in body roll. plus i got the f-sport instake and exhaust installed as well.
So overall i enjoy driving my car around town on the back roads testing the handling and the sound of the intake and exhaust.
