Question How do I know if I got TRD Sways or not?

I bought a set of TRD Sways off of Ebay. In the picture they were blue, the ones that got shipped are maroon. On the directions sheet, there is an L-Tuned logo on it. In the auction they say TRD Sway Bar set. So my question is, how do I know if the Sway Bars are TRD or not?

Okay

I dont know if this will answer your question but TRDUSA.com lists

PN: 00644-48800-300 as TRD sways

so I went to Lexus-parts.com and found that number to correspond to :

Suspension - Sway Bar


TRD Stabilizer Bars were developed to minimize body roll during hard cornering. Whether used for performance driving or circuit racing they always ensure the maximum of control without sacrificing ride quality. The hi-performance driver wil linstantly appreciate the stable or "flat: vehicle attitude during hard or high-speed cornering. TRD offers both front and rear stabilizers allowing the user to custom-tune the amount of over or understeer desired.

They are also pictured blue.

Now yours are maroon; therefore I presume those are L-tuned sways (other people say they are re-badged Eibach)

So are they truly TRD or do you consider L-tuned to be TRD?

I know TRD does have a white bar(sportivo) and yellow (race--"stiffies").

L-tuned = red(maroon)

Thanks for your help guys...I bought them off of ebay from the Sewell Lexus Dealership...I'm sure they are what he says. L-Tuned/Eibach is TRD but just re-badged and a different color.

Thanks again for your help guys!!

Default sways

Hey tell us how they are LIVN XL! I'm anxious to know if you actually felt a dif? I got my area51 sways and boy are they sweet! No body roll and crisper handling. Def worth it. BTW how much are you paying for the install? Mine was $160. Good luck with the sways though.
