Default Daizen sway bars

Can you tell me if the Daizen sway bars for our SC430's are red in color? Do the sway bars fit the GS300, GS400 and the SC430? The reason I am asking is there is a set for sale and the seller is indicating the these bars fit all three models. I have a 2006 SC430 and I am wondering if they will fit. What do I need to look for that will indicate that the bars will or will not fit?

the front bars will fit our cars, the rear bar will not, our rear bars have an extra bend in them towards the middle.

I do not know anything about them. I do know that people on this forum have talked about them. There are two bars in the photo. Do they both look like the will fit my 2006? What is a fair price to pay for them?

I have a set on both front and rear. The set you are looking at looks like the rear one will not fit the sc430. As mentioned by a poster that the front one will fit. So if you buy them you will only be able to use one. The kit sold new for around
400.00 for both. Since they are no longer made its up to you as to how bad you want the front bar. I would make an offer and see if you can buy just the front or do some research to see if you can sell the rear one. what car did the owner of the bar say they came off of ?

Note that at Sewell you can purchase the TRD front sway bar alone for the GS 400 which fits the SC430 just fine, at least 02-05. No need to purchase a rear bar you can't use. However there is a post here about a modification to the chassis support to make the rear bar fit ... There's a picture posted. Most folks don't want to do it but it is an option if you have a good shop that can do it right.

Thank you to everyone that commented. The seller did not say what it came off of. As the OP indicated the rear will not fit and the seller will not split the set.

I ended up purchasing the sway bars for $300.00. I will be selling the back bar to someone that has a GS300. If you know anyone that might be interested PM me. I know, I could have bought a new TRD front bar from Sewell for $250.00 but it wouldn't be a "rare Daizen sway bar". Plus the person I bought the bar from works on Lexus autos all day, every day. This person lives one mile from my house so I will be spending time at his house having him add all of the after market stuff for a very reasonable price. Again, thank you for your comments

did they ever come up with an option for the rear? I have the TRD front and a Cusco STB but really want to get a rear!
