Hi,
I have a 2010 IS250 w/ 17" wheels and it handles ok....could be a bit funner. I don't need a track car but I'm wondering if a rear sway bar will make a difference in cornering etc...don't want to put too much $$$ just wondering if a 'sportier' sway bar is worth it's weight. Anything else besides a sway bar that won't break the bank?

Thanks in advance.

 

personally, F-Sport rear sway bar made a noticeable difference in handling/cornering.
Only have the rear because I've read upgrade in front is very minimal on 350 compare to rear.

 

Yes they will. The rear more than the front, but they both make a difference

 

I've read up on people's experience with them and found that I, personally, would rather do the whole set up rather than just the rear as kentaro stated.

get both, there was a definate difference when I ran rear only vs the set. Car was a lot more balanced with both

 

Welcome to CL..... I got both and you'll feel the difference.

 

Get both, you'll love them.

Everyone keeps saying how good sways are ... I was gonna go for a cosmetic mod next but now I'm thinking about sways instead...

I need to stop putting it off lol

 

heres an honest response,

felt no difference at all, dont bother

 

I got the back now about 2 weeks ago and you fell the difference the instant you pull out of the shop after installation...I will be getting the front soon hopefully...

 

I'm with you GiantsFan, I want to throw springs on for the looks, but the rear bar would probably net a better result overall. And I thought I wasn't going to mod the IS... I'll probably end up with both, just was trying to avoid the mod bug on this one...

As far as doing both bars, yes, that is the right thing to do and would give you better balance as they were engineered to work together. Upgrading just the rear will probably induce a little oversteer, but 99% of people probably wouldn't notice unless they were tracking the car.

in this order

 

Thanks for all your responses! Where is the best place to purchase the set? What brand/make for the best price?

One other question, it sounds like replacing the front sway bar on an is250 is not the best bang for your buck. Many have gone w/ just an F-rear sway bar. Is this ok?
