I have been happy with my sway bars minus the noise. I recently got the new bushing and am very satisfied with the results. Now if they can work on an intake that makes the car sound a little different relative to stock

I have Tom's air filter installed, and was surprised to hear the difference in sound. However, I don't think any drop in filter will give you what you are looking for.
A cone type open filter will for sure!

Guys - I installed the latest bushings and now the sways are perfect. The car is rock solid. No noises. Not even on bumpy roads.
The handling with the F-Sport sways is superb. My car with AVS in Sport is as planted and stable in corners as an F10 with dynamic ride control set to Sport. That said my car has better tires than the F10 - Michelin PS2 runflat as opposed to Dunlop runflats on the BMW I drove.
I am taking corner ramps about 10mph faster than I was before because of the increased confidence and stability in corners. Yesterday I caught and passed a Cobra doing 70mph on a 90 degree ramp between 2 highways. That gives you a sense of the confidence these sways inspire.

That's great to hear. I'm resisting the temptation! Stop telling us how you like them! LOL!
But glad to hear all is well now and sorry to hear about the crap you went through for them to be 'right'.

the review being given for the fsport sways sounds pretty nice,how do they compare to this oem active setup?
I never really liked run flat tires,while they do flex less pushed into a corner,they also have 0 flex on any bumps,you know it when you run over a cigarette butt. especially if your running a small sidewall to begin with,like 30 or 35 series

just bought a gs460 that is loaded,not sure if it has the active sways,havnt driven it or been in it yet.how can you tell if it does,its hard to think a elec actuator has enough strength to torque the sway bar tight enough to make a diff in the ride,anyone ever seen this actuator? ive seen alot of diff cars with diff types of active suspension,most of it was just sales hype and did very little for the actual ride control
