Default LS460 Swaybar Upgrade.....

I searched but I'm only finding threads relating to or discussing the air suspension......

One thing I've come to learn of the LS460 is that it still has a decent amount of bodyroll. I Googled and came up with a link to Daizen Sport Tuning as an outfit that appears to be working on (though not yet available) swaybar upgrade to improve bodyroll reduction. Just curious if anyone knows if an upgrade is already available from another source. If so, anyone know if the dealers see this as an obstacle to getting warranty work done when needed?

^^^^^ Haven't bought the car yet - merely gaining info for preparation.....

I plan to keep the car stock - aside from maybe adding the 19" F Sport wheels after purchase. I'm looking to add some stability in both cornering and overall handling.....

I would drop $ 800-1000 for a set of sway bars on my LS. In my book sway bars is the BIGGEST no brainer mod for any car ......if its available. I dont think anyone has a set of upgraded sway bars for the LS. #1 its an old mans car, #2 it has zero after market support for performance parts ( cosmetic is a different ), #3 nobody drives the LS for canyon carving.

I agree that I would love to change the roll situation, especially since I have the highest performance tire you can get on an LS with 22s but I have a feeling we are stuck. If you want to really help road holding try the Michelin PS3 !! Please let us know if you discover anything. All we get with sway bars and camber arms is " we're working on them ". There is no love for the LS in the performance world

I take corners like a boss with my car and always put it at it's limit...(i'm not the average LS driver)...would love to have better handling characteristics!! I know Tom's makes sub-frame bracing and a strut bar for our cars...i know PRSUIT460 has them on his car. After driving the new LS f-sport model with the new tuned suspension, it made mine feel like a boat LOL

+1, no brainier for me either. Daizen seems to be thinking it over, I let them know that there is a decent following who would be interested.

I would drop the money is a second. It would make the car feel great. I have to admit I am still tripping out on how much more alive my LS feel like on hard corners since I got these Michelins. Its crazy that a car can feel so different when going in and out of corners just by upgrading the rubber. We all know it is the only thing connecting the car to the road but these Michelins are on another level. Never felt a tire transform a car in all my years of driving. If it sound s like hype buy a set. It will blow your mind
