Guys,

For those who live in the Bay area, CA do you know of any good and honest shop where I can install my Daizen sways? One of the Lexus dealer asks for $315 as the installation fee so I think it's a bit high. Thanks,

You aren't even willing to install them yourself?

Most people are willing...but knowing "how to" and having the proper tools is another matter

True. I'd do it myself if I could; replacing the brakes and rear shocks went easy as no special tools required.
But for the sways don't you need to have a shop lift and powered tools? Last time I attempted to replace the front shocks and it was so difficult with some bolts that I gave up.

the rears are easy... didnt even have to take off the tires.... but i did have to remove the exhaust. fronts are a lil bit more complicated

I'm changing my rear stabilizer bar tommorow. Maybe you can drop by and I'll show you how.

I haven't exactly taken off the bars, but I did change the bushings. What is the difficult part in taking off the front bar?

Thanks for the offer but I can't make it tomorrow.
Perhaps you could take some pictures and share how the process go.

I don't have a camera anymore and I already finished installing the supra bar. The bar seems a little off in fitment though because the ball joint studs are now at an angle, and when I was fooling around with the ball joints on the end links, some brown grease seeped out. Hmm, that could be bad.

Well to take off SB, just go under the car unscrew the two nuts on each muffler (assuming it's similar to the 300. Loosen it off and let it hang down on a book or something. (edit: I previously said to take off the whole muffler system, but that's because I wanted to run the car around w/o it) After that it's pretty straight forward- just undo the stabilizer endlink nut and figure out how to get the bar out. To install DSB, just reverse steps.
