Hi, uz07lex! Long time no see! *waves*

I guess I have something to put in my sig now...*looks at empty sig*

As for drop, I have the factory sport package. Found out the F-Sport springs and shocks don't drop it much more than what I currently have.

But right now I'm still thinking MAYBE.

But I really need to get the money first.

^ getting the sway set is one of the better mods to do. it works nicely with factory sport suspension.

Does it really?


Oooo!

Just realized, it's only three days away! And I'm getting a great deal on them with the F-Sport promotion. I just hope they do it in the morning so I can drive all day! They will be calling me on Friday with my appt.

^ yep, since you've been driving around with the stock sways for awhile, you'll be able to determine a difference right away. i drove around for 9 months before deciding on f-sport sways last month. i should have done it a bit sooner.

looks like the mod bug bit ya. its too late now... u going to need an intake, coils, new lights, maybe a aero kit to complement the nice new sway bars u just got. =)

its kinda like playing texas hold em. your pot committed, might as well play it though.

but i agree brociouz has done nothing but forced me to add awesome stuff to my car. he will fuel that mod bug, trust me. he should be punished for that.

So glad I could be of service Siu. Seriously though, an F-Sport intake would compliment your exhaust nicely.

Oh, and I hope you're not paying the dealer to install that sway bar set, they'll gouge you big time.

Hey, what did I ever do? Remember, it was you who PM'ed me, I was just answering your questions.

I heard it was easy (well, depending upon interpretation of 'easy') but I'm scared to mess with it myself.

I'm supposed to talk to the guy about installation prices Friday, it's being done at Magnussen where I got the car. I had asked about warranty - he said if it's Lexus installed it will follow the car's extended warranty. When I asked what can really go wrong with a sway bar, he said it's not just that, it's if somewhere down the line I hear a noise from the suspension, it might come into play later should it not show that it was installed by them.

With the prices they charge to repair something, I'm not sure if it's just safer in the long run $$ wise.

^ You're getting hustled, but understand paying extra for peace of mind. Hopefully it's not much more than $50-$60, the price a reputable independent shop would charge.

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I'll have to crawl under Micaiah and take a peek. Don't forget I also have those underbody panels....
