F-Sport™ Performance Accessories are aftermarket parts and are not Genuine Lexus Parts and, therefore, may not be used in any application that requires the use of Genuine Lexus Parts. F-Sport™ Accessories are warranted for 12 months from the date of installation or for the balance of the new-car or Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) warranty in force at the date of installation, whichever is greater, when installed by an authorized Lexus dealer. This warranty does not cover maintenance services such as replacement of brake pads/linings and clutch linings. This warranty does not cover noise, vibration, cosmetic conditions and other deterioration caused by normal wear and tear. F-Sport™ Accessories installed by anyone other than an authorized Lexus dealer are warranted for 12 months from the date of purchase only, and the warranty coverage is limited to the replacement value of the F-Sport™ Accessory. This warranty does not cover maintenance services such as replacement of brake pads/linings and clutch linings. This warranty does not cover noise, vibration, cosmetic conditions and other deterioration caused by normal wear and tear. Part failure caused by improper installation by anyone other than an authorized Lexus dealer may void the F-Sport™ Accessory warranty, the new-vehicle warranty or both.

It's working so far. We've had cold, hot and rainy days here in Southern California in the past week... and not even clunk.

Mine's an '07 430, and the improvement in handling on my setup (stock everything else) is VERY noticeable.... much less body roll.
Although the install bulletin for the Sway Bars does not include the 430/460, Sewell Parts web site lists the 460 in the "also fits" list.

The install bulletin is no longer on the Sewell site, but I think I recall reading that the sways are not recommended for 350's with the AVS installed. So, perhaps this is the reason why 430/460's are excluded. (this has already been hashed out in another thread).
I've got the new bushings in hand and I am debating whether to put 'em in myself or ask the Lexus dealership who did my install (yes, even though it was a 430) to take care of it. Since the TSB doesn't mention 430's, I'm wondering if they would even do it at this point.

Thanks for the tips. I contacted the dealer I bought my car from. They seem to be more familiar with F-Sport accessories and have no problem with installing the sways on a GS460. They said the springs would be fine for the GS460 as well.
I asked them if they have the lated updated bushings, and he said they do, but that they are still polyurethane bushings and do need to be greased regularly to ensure they remain in good shape. Is that correct?
