    nobody makes a front swaybar, unfortunately.

    did you mean H&R springs?

      I recommend shortening the internal bump stop in the front struts by an inch (it's easy to do). Otherwise, it'll ride like crap.

        Why do you think you need a larger front sway bar? Many people feel that the iX has understeer and increase the REAR sway bar diameter.
