Thats Great News!

Now I wont have any reservations about getting a GS350 AWD. Now that I can get sway bars for the GS then I am sold. As long as the sways are not 1k a piece.

Hopefully this will encourage other manufacturers to reverse engineer the parts and create their own versions.

I can't believe that blue leather is an option for the ISc

Looks so, so cheap and aftermarket

get the supra one for your GS400 - an AMAZING upgrade.

ooh, that shift **** looks nasty.

as for the whole line-up of parts, that's great, we'll see how long it takes for it all to be available, and prices.

say suppose you want to get sways, but the application says it is for GS350 and AWD. sure it will fit the 450h, but how does the lexus look at it? will they still provide "warranty" if you get sways, because technically there is no direct application...i recall i had a simliar post about f-sport parts from is-f for the GS, and someone stated that lexus will not warranty because it's not a direct application
