executive matchup
Another quick update:
Temperature in Dallas just took a dive to the low 40's overnight, new F-SPORT bushings held up to the challenged... still FREE OF NOISE!!!
EXCEPT the damn brakes is bytching again!!!
Off the topic..
Should I ask them to put the OEM's "HIGH FICTION + HIGH DUST" brake pads back on my toy, just so I don't have to be bother with the freaking brake noise!?!
Thanks all,
Stevie

Several people on the forum have reported they had the new bushings installed and it is now silent. I am getting updated sways for my 460 on Friday and will report to forum on it then.

weight wise, these are insignificant compared to the overall performance. probably like 10lb max each

i had all these braces on my 2gs. i can tell you, they help ever so slightly, unless you really push your car to the limit, otherwise they are nothing more than some nice silver braces around. as i have said before, if anything, coilovers (springs/shocks) and sways, those give the most handling improvement.

Any help? F-sport sways on my gs450h
Alright, my gsh has been in the shop for the clunking noise and after the third time they are telling mr that the parts are not available! The supposed swapped out the updated bushings and four days after the fix the clunking started coming back now worse than ever! It was in The shop for two weeks and I was in the loaner! They called me back in to tell me that the parts are blacklisted or on hold! And my advisor also told me that he thinks the sways are not supposed to bs on the gs450h because it's too heavy of a car! Any help would bs appreciated! Now I am driving a clunking car around and have no ides if it will ever get fixed! I purchased and had the swag bars installed at the dealer and they even told me that there was no application for the hybrid but the part numbers for the stock components are identical! Thanks in advance!

first, the adviser is pretty silly saying that... 450h is 400lb heavier than the gs350, does that mean if i have gs350 and put on the sways, when i have 5 people in the car my car will be clunking like no tomorrow?
and i agree with others, if they sold it to you and installed it and you didn't "waive" anything saying it's your responsibility, then they either fix it, or take it out

09 gsh with F Force sway bars
Can I ask what sort of knock do you hear? I hear a little clunk on the left side when I drive over an abrupt change in the pavement when going straight ahead. Do you hear a similar noise?
