Default Sway Bar

Are there any aftermarket sway bars available for a 94' LS400?

I think someone tried the Addco front sway bar and it didn't fit correctly. Are there any rear sway bars? I think this is a weak part in my suspension since it is no biger than my pinky figure.

Addco quality is VERY unfortunately

I have seen pictures of a test set from Daizen, if there is enough interest I'm sure that would speed things up considerably.

Problem is I bet there's only like 3 people that would actually buy them. Everyone else is all talk

I have been waiting so long for them to come out with some sort of kit, either bushing alone for the say bars or a whole kit with a new sway bar. I would FOR SURE buy anything they put up as i like to autocross my car and i really really need a different sway bar setup. What can we do to speed up the process?

Has Daizen finished the rear bushing set for the 90-94 LS?

Im still waiting...
and if they have an upgraded sway bar set Im in.

PS.
I waited 4 months before I can get my Daizen front bushings...I will wait for these ones too...

Well, if anyone who is genuinely interested posts their interest here, and not just "oh yeah if they had them I'd think about it..." But a genuine interest to buy them, I'm sure if this was seen in writing it would make things happen pretty quickly.

The cost to produce a product from scratch is astronomical, including all of the research and testing, tooling, production, etc. I'm not sure but off the top of my head I think it is around $20-30K+ from start to finish to bring a quality sway bar set to market. If they sold like 4...well...you get the picture

Im not going to read that thing again, but if memory serves me right, some guy had his mechanic measure the sway bars to find a replacement from energy and it was not the same as second gens nor 92-94. On top of that i think he said that energy did not carry the right size bushings for the sway bar for those years at all, no universal fit.
