I am taking my car to a experienced mechanic tomorrow [ Not a Lexus trained ] I am having him install the daizen anti sway bars front and rear I am also installing the greasable brackets on the front the ones with the zerts I think i got them from high energy if that rings a bell. Question are there any tips that i should pass on to the mechanic that is doing the install. I know about using thread lock on front main frame brackets. Did i miss anything !!

I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has done the install

make sure he flips the end links for both front and rear bars

mrblister

What do you mean to flip the end links ?

Do you mean to turn the links 180 degree that will connect to the new sway bars ??

yes, take them off ad turn them 180 degrees so you bolt them to the sway bars from the other way

the reason to do that is the daizen sways are longer than stock

whokiid

when did you purchase your set of sway bars?

ive been looking for a set and cant find one. daizen is on backorder and purchasing them from a store or dealer seems almost impossible.

I found them on craigs list of all places. I know no one seems to have them and daizen will not return any emails I dont know why the have a website.
Very rude behavior

I have seen that posting, I tried emailing the guy but nothing ever came of it. Last time there were no pictures, but I see that he put up a picture now.

Keep in mind that 40% of transaction on Craigslist are fraudulent in nature. I believe that figure came from the US Postal inspectors. I inquired on a M5 the other day for $42k. Of course, turned out to be one of those ,"I am in the service and the car is in the UK" lines.
Just be cautious.

The add is gone now. He lives just down the street so it would have been easy to check to make sure it was legit.
I bpought my SC430 off of Ebay! Talk about taking a risk!

Same here... I emailed them at least 4-5 times and never got an answer either. Business must be SO good for them that they don't need new customers....

It was a private party and once the add is pulled Craigslist won't forward your email. it just dead ends.

I did the install today with a friend experienced mechanic. Was really easy to do. Had to pull one rear tire to get the rear oem bar off and then to have clearance to place the new bar. I used the enrgy suspension greasable zert
brackets woth the red urathane bushings . Turned front ane rear end link bars 180 degrees [I was told that the bars are longer and you have to flip the end links . I used plenty of locktite on brackets front and rear and also lubed thyem up real well with teh daizen supplied grease. When I need to regrease in the future what kind of greAse should i use and where can I get it Daizen wont even return an email very nasty company to deal with . I quess they dont need the business.Appreciate any ones advise on source for grease i fig i will get a small hand grease pump to do the zerts when its time

I was planning to do this, but I thought there was a mounting bolt problem with the rear bushings (there are a couple of long threads - with very detailed pictures - in the archives). Did you have to modify anything for the rear bushings to fit? I thought the mounting holes were farther appart than the stock bushing bracket _and_ the ES bushings wouldn't fit into the recessed mounting area. Do you have a picture?
