They have no perm. solution so going in would only be a temporary fix.

I got my swaybars a couple of days ago. Went to the dealer b/c I am too lazy to put mine in myself.

LABOR QUOTE: $380.00!!!

The service advisor told me the tech said they are very difficult to put in. I swear, that particular dealership is the biggest rip-off for everything. Guess I'll just do it myself or take it to Toyota. It'll probably take me 1hr at most, I just hate getting greasy these days.

That sounds fantastic!

Do you have a sound clip for the F-sport exhaust inside the cabin?

Yeah, give me a break. Swaybars are hard to put in now? Wow. But I guess if people give them money, they will get away with it. I'm just disappointed in them, because obviously the service techs who deal with these cars everyday know that it is not a hard job. I used to enjoy wrenching, but now I don't. Just don't know why they have to be so dishonest. I'm guesing they're saying it is a 4 hour job.

the AWD is more difficult, but probably only adds 1/2 hour to the job...and that's just because the front bar is more difficult to install on the AWD.

Do these bars harshen up the ride quality? I know sometimes on some cars it does because it makes the suspension work in tandem instead of independently over bumps and dips.
