Yeah I know that, but some people have complained of hearing noises and also that the system doesn't work right maybe its only Hybrids, but guessing its the same no matter what car!

sorry i wasn't hear. i guess my point is i don't see how avs would have anything to do with sways. sways might have noise (and the fsport springs definitely have/had problems), but i don't see how those noise would have anything to do with avs system

no problems or noises with mine, but as mentioned, no connection between the sways and AVS.

bigblack06, glad to see another hybrid owner modding! if you get the f-sport sways, make sure you get the new "zd" bushings that come with the sways.

more info here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...sway-bars.html

i'm not totally sold on the fact that the zd bushings are noise free. one member who has them still hears it sort of?

so if you get the f-sport sways, make sure you make an informed decision and that you can live with the noise (if it comes). good luck with your decision!

I have AVS and F-Sport Sways. They work fine, the improvement is somewhat marginal, but nonetheless noticeable.

Yeah I'm hoping there are no problems and that I will be able to live with it, cause any noise just would make me wonder why its making that noise for an entire trip, will see!

Make sure you don't have APSSS. If you have APSSS you don't have sway bars you have something much better.
