Default Daizen sway bar bushings available for 90-94 LS400 FINALLY!!

Finally, after the long wait we have sway bar bushings available for the 90-94 LS400's

Should help noticeably with cornering, although not as much as a full sway bar upgrade. Anything helps with these cars though!

Todd,
Is this front & rear? Can you tell us more about the full kit?
Pricing would be nice as well.

Yes, front and rear, 29.95

Be sure to get the right one though, there are different rear bars for 90-92, and 93-94 with or without air suspension.

I'll go find the diameters and post them here so you can get an idea. They are pretty different in size so you can tell just looking at them if you need to do a visual to confirm which size bar you have.

So fronts are 29.95 & rear cost the same?
Can you give us a price on a kit w a larger diameter bar for UCF10's?
Is there a front & rear bar available in larger diameters?

No, the whole set is 29

There might be a fully upgraded set with bigger bars, but you guys really need to post up here if you are seriously interested. Price would be 499

Saw and ordered a kit today.

No hardware included it is bushings only. Can't wait to give these a try.

Cool, maybe I'll pick these up when the rear bushing kit comes out....that's what I really need. Daizen told me it would be out around now...but no, it's not. Don't know why it's taking so long, but I don't care that much. I can't work here in the cold anyway. I'm just happy that they're making aftermarket parts period, and they're great!

Installed them today. Easy install & requires only a 12mm socket & extension. 20 minute job probably.

Hardest part was holding the rear bushing apart to squeeze it over the sway bar. That rear sway bar on a 94 is embarrisingly thin!!!

Only 10 miles driven so far so no opinion yet.

This is without a doubt the best $30.00 you can spend on your LS. My suspension makes quite a bit less noise after install. I'm now thinking my Upper Control Arms are not in as bad a shape as I thought!!

Default Addco Swaybar

Any Pros and Cons that you have heard with this swaybar? I'm trying to find any way to solve this massive bodyroll. I already plan on getting Tanabe springs this spring/summer but I'm looking for more. Would the bushings along with this swaybar solve my problem or would I be satisfied with going with just the bushings?

get coilovers if you dont want anymore body roll. it will solve your problem way quicker and better than springs, and the sways will only help even more with the coilovers.
