The stock sways on the GS400 are hollow, and with the stock rubber bushings are almost worthless. Not sure about other Lexus OEMs but likely the same. Intrax is a solid bar design which likely makes them much stronger. I have a set and it makes a HUGE improvement. I think Daizen bars are hollow and I saw a post today of someone who broke the rear.

Nope. I bought the kit 2 weeks ago and it works well. No squeaks (so far).

I have heard very good things about Intrax. I was looking into some of these suspension mods when I used to have my '92 Acura Legend. I might check these sways out for my GS...or TRD.

No issues. All the stock mounting points fit. When I get a minute (and some decent weather) I will try and snap a pic. I'd be interested if someone had the specs on the TRD & Daizen kits. I guess its my muscle car mentality from my high school days (I had a 66' GTO back in the day) that made me go for this kit. Just seemed right to go with a larger solid bar. Some folks have chided me about unsprung weight, but I figure it can't be more than a few pounds difference which could be made up with lighter wheels later.

I assume that you replaced the stock bushings and brackets with the Intrax parts. The price IMO seems right and you get a gret setup.. The bars look good..


Quick Reply: has anyone tried the intrax sway bars?
