** TRD Sways are in ***
Yes, finally, after months of waiting I have received the TRD sways for the GS. I have about 3 extra sets from this order, they are $499.00 for both frt/rear w/bushings.
If you want them now is a good time for that "special gift"

Testimonial:
If the sways are installed correctly they're a no brainer to get... makes for great flat cornering!

My (and Dexter's) sways are on their way! "Special gift" to myself for Christmas this year!
I'll also give a testimonial about Bit's GS' handling, even if the sways were installed incorrectly at the time .
Bit's car kept flatter than (grinding sound of DaveGS4 thinking of analogies... a Pancake? Kansas? Sandy Duncan?) my 401K earnings this year.

Well
I am interested in the sways but I hear mixed reviews.
I expect it to ride flatter, not alot harsher but some say that the ride gets worse.
What's the real deal?
Bit, glad you got your ride all good again.
Late.

Also, what is up with L-Tuned suspension???? All the scraping, banging noises? Is it the springs, shocks, or both, or misinstallation??

Guys...I'm sorry I couldn't take any pictures of the install because I forgot my camera...
Man oh man!!!!...I love those sways....I took a curve yesterday at about 110mph without my tires screaming.....the day before I took the same curve at 90 and thought I was going to flip the car over lol
you can really tell a difference when you hold the sways hand in hand the weight!!! the stock front sway bar weighs in at just under 20lbs and the new TRD Sway weighs just over 70lbs!!!!! and it is just a TAD bit thicker (teenie tiny bit) the rear one is also heavier but I was disappointed when i saw it because that thing cost $230 and it looks like a coat hanger lol....but i'm happy none the less.
Sways make the car so much stiffer in a totally exciting way, you really get to feel the ground and you have just so much more confidence when you are making lane changes and passing people or doing some high speed manueuvers (spelling?)
I think that having TRD Sways, TRD STB and TRD LCB are such a great combination. The car totally feels predictable more like a sports car than a big family boat.
GO FOR IT!!!!!

As far as L-Tuned... scraping: the car's 1" lower, what do people expect? banging noises: haven't heard it described that harshly. Once in a while if I'm going VERY slowly (2mph?) over a drain dip or speed bump I might hear the springs/shocks compress/creak, but it's NO BIG DEAL. If people want SILENCE drive an LS430 - it's quite, but boring as hell, both like a library.
The only way to tell for yourself is to take a ride with someone who has mods installed and see/hear/feel for yourself.
