Again just curious but are you sure about this. i.e. have you seen the rear sway bar on an XS? I think those mentioning the bigger swaybar were referring to it being from the S model, which is indeed correct.
Edit: jsut looked it up. the part number for the 2011 XS Sedan rear sway bar is the same as the part number for the rear sway bar on the 2013 x sedan (56230-JK000).

i dunno if this resource helps but it clearly shows there is only one ratio available for all x's although it indi cates a marginally different turning radius which i presume is due to the wider/larger wheels maybe ....i'm really not sure http://infinitihelp.com/models/2011/...ifications.php

while you may certainly be correct in this, if you dig a bit deeper it appears to be a matter of production dates rather than x vs xs as the 49001JK65B rack is listed for sport and non sport awd as well as journey and premium 2wd in some cases as well as C and D variants...

Having come from a G35X sedan to a G37XS sedan, and while it's known that the XS only received a "cosmetic treatment" from the SPORT sedan, I can attest that the XS sedan does in fact "feel" like a different ride, and handling compared to the stand X sedan.
It's as if it's not the same car. Further still, adding wheels/tires alone gave my XS sedan an even greater handling qualities while still experiencing close to a stock ride. Personally, I went f/19x9 245/40/ r/19x10 275/35 wheel/tire setup. It's a different car, and it instills greater handling confidence. Perhaps more drastic a change than the OP is seeking, but still, if it were me I'd begin with changing wheels/tires rather than suspension parts.
You'll observe a noticeable difference with the right wheel/tire combo, and for what I believe a modest price. There's lots of great wheels out there, even if one only desired to go with an 18" wheel...and for that example one only has to look at blnewt's black G sedan. I'd also consider a Swift spring upgrade, but not if a car had 60k on factory struts. I'm about to add coilovers in a few days, but I can report that a wheel/tire change alone was a very positive change. Good luck OP!

Personally I wanted to sample the Swift spring install first, but since I've a higher mileage car I've opted for a coilover with a Swift spring upgrade. Best!
I'd say no if you're not experiencing alignment issues. I suspect your factory struts will let you know when they need to be replaced, and if the Swift drop has deteriorated your struts. It's been often noted here on the forum that it's recommended to do a coilover change rather than a spring install if one has over 60k on factory struts.
