Sard does make sway bars for 3IS, but for RWD only, so only the rear bar is compatible with the AWD. I have it installed in my AWD.
those collars that TOPENDMS posted are very popular upgrades in the past specially in the RWD world. They reduce wheel hop at launch by reducing the movement of the rear subframe during hard acceleration. T-Demand claims that their sway bars set are compatible for both AWD and RWD. I have been wanting to get the fronts but due to $$$, I would like to see someone confirm that they do fit the AWD before importing a set than find out they don't fit.

Physical dimensions of the bushings are the same from the RCF/GSF and IS, but the rubber compound in the RCF/GSF bushings are stiffer.
This will aide in the never ending battle to reduce/eliminate the front Toe wear that the IS suffers from.

Does the rear strut tower bar fit on the AWD models too, I have a 2016 IS300 AWD and I’m looking at the Toms strut towers for the front and rear
