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.

where are the sway bars located....underneath? I'm used to driving FWD cars and I always remember seeing the front sway bar underneath the hood. what will they have to disconnect to get to the sway bars?

you are right...I should probably cut the dealership some slack. i did have a loaner the entire time and they did an excellent job installing them.

I think they did my sway bars in an hour front and rear but still charged me the original price they discussed with me. I dont care because the price they quoted me was cheaper than the $424 suggested price for install of the sway bars, and I got a loaner and got in on the same afternoon that I picked the parts up. Lexus has never failed to amaze me

The more I drive the car the more I realize how much more light footed the car feels in transitions and through the occasional blast onto an on-ramp. I have traffic circles in my neighborhood and the car feels so planted . I used to just tell myself as the car wallowed and leaned that it was a luxury car and thats just the way it is. But now I feel like I am driving a car with a fun factor that is considerably higher than the stock set up.

Wow... this looks like it might be worth it!
Anyone think this could be a DIY? There are install instructions on Sewell's site:

Are the stock sways on the 460 the same as on the 350? I am wondering if I will see the same improvement?
Also does the install require removal of the bumper? I don't trust my Lexus dealer to remove the bumper without messing up the front laser jammers.

to install, you shouldn't have to remove bumpers at all. you just remove panels underneath and go from there
personally, for cars without apsss, i think the sways should fit. but officially, there are no words on the sways for gs460
