Try shopping around for quotes on labor install from your local dealers. Have them e-mail you the final quote after taxes. Each dealer is different, some might not even install the parts that you purchased from another dealer (even though it's Lexus F-Sport accessories)

I purchased my F Sport front and back sway bars from Sewell a year ago for $430 (after tax and shipping) and had a local Lexus dealer install it for $246.

I had F Sport shocks and springs installed later, and dealer quoted me labor installment would cost $565 for springs, another $100 for shocks, and $125 for alignment for a total of $790. (this is install only not including parts)
It was going to cost me about $950 for shocks and springs from Sewell after taxes and shipping- so a total of $1740 just for this suspension upgrade.

My local dealer ended up giving me a final quote of $1400 if i bought the parts from them and had it installed there with alignment included. This was a great price for a dealership that is

Hope this helps!

you can install everything with basic tools but you will probably need to take it to a shop for springs and shocks

Some Toyota dealers also give service to Lexus.
Here in Puerto Rico we have and it is half the cost of a Lexus dealer.

for example: installing a front and rear sway bars-lexus dealer here in naperville illinois charge me 135/hr labor,private mechanic/independent auto shop charged 95-100/hr,they both have the same hours of work.

Sway bars are extremely easy. After seeing it done I kinda wish I had di it myself but I got hooked up on install so its cool.
