Same here, but they called their technical ("people") and they stated no it will not fit. I wish they did! Anyway I'm not kidding about that ride we live in the same state brother! Give a CL brother a hand (LOL).

Take care,

keep us updated on your review.

Thank you so much for the write-up, I8ABMR. This sounds like a dream come true. Except for the fact that I am going to be out $700 pretty soon.

And yes, please post updates.

so I guess when you say 2 hour install, that will translate into 5 days for my dealership. is this an easy DIY, or should I let the dealership keep my car for a week? wonder if the AWD install is more difficult?

Hey jtrue
He had the dealership install them and it took 2 hours. He states that in his post. I hope that helps

take it easy,

oh I know, but my dealership also told me 2 hours for the Japan illuminated scuff plates and it took them 5 days. this mod is definitely one I want to do and $340 from Sewell is a great price for the AWD set.

why don't you just have them arrange for a loaner car. I don't feel it is a pain in the a** whenever I bring it in to dealer as long as I get a loaner car. I put mileage on their cars not mine. By the way I'm driving a loaner now while mine is in shop waiting for sway bar set to come in next week.

I have to admit thats why I dont really totally envy the cali guys with all of the shop in the area and the lower labor rates because Lexus gives me a brand new lexus loaner car to leave with. I hate sitting around at shops waiting. Its so tedious. I am happy to pay the extra 100 dollars to get the loaner and get the hell out

I also would like to know why it won't fit the GS430. Ill call my dealer and see.

Anyone have pics? Underneath both cars?

Mike,
It's ridiculous. You would think they would fit all 3rd Gen. GS but so far the verdict has been no. I would be interested in hearing what your dealership says. I'm still holding out hope though. I just don't want to miss out on the discount that is being offered. Let me know what they tell you.

I would think that would the heavier motor the GS430 would benefit more from a set of sway bars. I guess they figure they sell more 350's, but I thought the suspensions are the same

I emailed Darrell to see if he will ship them and allow me to return them.

I will eat the shop time cost to find out and post back with pics. Just don't want to be stuck with both.

Either way ill post back.

Mike maybe ask him to ship the Toms bars too so we can compare?

^ ill ask and see what they say.

LexFather

If we can't maybe we can get some pics of the underbodies of the vehicles. I have to change my oil soon so I'll take pics of the stock sways.

jtrue28, i know where you are coming from, and i understand the frustration you had with the jdm sills...but the dealership could not get that installed properly because there were no instructions! that's why it took 5 days for them to figure it out (yes it shouldn't take 5 days, but in all fairness, lexus mechanics are not electrical technicians. and there are ALOT of wires).

on the otherhand, sway bars are purely oem replacement in every sense of the word. it will not take your dealer 5 days to install, guaranteed.
