F sport sway bar offical thread

I've already installed the sway bars on a 2006 GS430 with NO problems. The only thing you have to be careful about is the installation of the bushings and the correct orientation (look at manual). Other than that it takes like 45 min - 1 hr.
I believe the only time you can't install it is if you have the AAAS but i think that's for the GS450h

It doesn't feel loose at all, feels great as a matter of fact. They cannot find the problem but can definitely hear it, calling it "rather loud." They are trying things I know won't work, but will let them proceed through the process - they are a great dealer. We'll see - they still have the car.

It seems like the AVS would be tuned to the stock coils/shocks/sway bars. Have you tested whether turning on "sport" mode continues to have any noticeable effect with the new sways?

Well mine just arrived and I also have the active suspension. I have confirmed we have different bushings and part numbers due to this OEM option.
We maybe SOL due to this. I'm still going to try when I can find time.

Stock GS sways are black and are fixed. I'll take pics next oil change if they are not up by then.

I wish you guys the best.
Worst case wait until an aftermarket company releases them. I am sure there will companies who want some of that F sport cash

Usually not enough grease as stated earlier....Daizen actually sells aftermarket bushings for the 2GS to help with this issue..

None... Sewell has now stepped in an is helping me out to try and find the issue... I cannot believe how great Sewell is - makes me wish I lived near them... I will buy from them again! Nonetheless, I'm not sure the outcome of this will make me smile - Lexus engineers stated that these were absolutely not made for the GS4xx series of vehicles. But, as posted here, there has been success with sways on these vehicles by other owners. I'm not sure why there is an issue on my vehicle... could the sways or bushings actually be defective? Any comments? If you look in TIS, the front sways have the same part #'s GS3 and GS4, the rears however, do not... the irony here is, apparently the noise is coming from the front of my vehicle! I am just cursed... lmao.
