Arrow Help With Sway Bars...

I'm looking to buy Sway Bars for my car, but i can only afford to buy 1 right now... What would be the better way to go, having the most effect on keeping my 08 IS250 AWD as flat as possible! Front or Rear??? It is lowered about an inch and a half on H&R Springs already, but no where near stiff enough! Any advice would be much appreciated!

I would definitely do Rear's if you can only afford one. Good luck! What suspension are you running on your lowered AWD? How is the drive, vibrations, etc?

If you can only afford one, +1 on the rear sway bar.
