Sway Bars AWD

I researched extensively on anti-sway bars for the GS when I got my car. I believe I narrowed it only down to 1 or 2 companies that made it for our cars. It was a really hard find because even though they existed, no one really advertised them because of the low demand. Everything was special order. If you search the forum under my name, I'm sure you'll find my original posting. I forgot the name of the bar but I ended up buying it and the result was excellent! Just a word of caution, the mechanic book rate for the installation of the rear is like 15+ hours (requires removing the entire subframe). But my mechanic was able to install it by just lowering the subframe without removing, and then sqeezed the bar in from there.
Here's the bad news. There are no anti-sway bars for the AWD... they are only available on RWD.

And confirming no anti-sway bar for AWD models as of my research in 2018 -- doubt there would be any today.

My guess is that the American site, the parts importer, got it wrong. Seems odd they would sell one for AWD and not for RWD, you would expect it the other way around.

Folks I had looked up and down, domestic and import, for AWD sway bars, I could not locate any that existed. I worked with a company overseas to potentially design new ones for the GRL15, but they wanted me to provide all the measurements underneath the vehicle. I was not comfortable with getting custom sway bars made with a long lead time, only to find out that I got the dimensions incorrect.
