Default aftermarket sway bars?

i searched and found kaz-sus used to make front sway bars. theyre discontinued and i havent seen any used bars for sale from japan

does the ls460 share sway bars with any other lexus/toyota vehicles?
i had a rav4 at one point and we had a couple folks on their forums help to find possible matches. we found matches. hopefully we can do this for the ls460...

Interesting concept, I will do some research.
Although nothing beats active stab system from LS600h. I thought about retrofitting it to 460er, but turns out it uses HighVoltage from hybrid system to actuate. I had GX for a while with active stab - amazing feature.
Add: according to EPC front bar is shared only with UWG60 2018+ Century for japanese market only obviously.

Build thread is for members who are modifying their cars. You'll be asking people who are more familiar with non-OEM parts.

yeah ive already been through those. if any sway bars were used its just kaz-sus bars there

i shoulda bought the kaz-sus when they were still being made just to make this all simpler


i havent found any bars for the century. but there seems to be a match for the hiace

What I conveyed is that FACTORY LS sway bar is same as one used on 18+ Century. Same part number. EPC = Toyota Electronic Product Catalog
On the scary note - check your front bars guys. I recently heard of one snapping. Yea. Thought 'what a tall tale'. Until last week I went to replace my bushings and under those - rot rot rot. So much rot. Pieces as thick as 3mm were just falling down and turning to dust. At it's still shy of 100k miles. Currently hunting for a replacement one from boneyard or junkers. And it looks completely NORMAL otherwise.
