Unhappy Im sad: F-sport sways won't fit

I inquired about the F-Sport sway bars for my 06 GS430 and was told by Sewell that they will not fit my car (but why)
Why should I be left out of the opportunity to improve the handling of my car (not to mention the great July discount). Why should I be punished for driving an 06 while you 07 and up Owners post about the great handling since you installed the new F-Sport sway bars
Enough with my ranting and crying

On the positive note I can now apply that money toward a body kit

I8ABMR- I would make one request of you, please please take me for one ride when you get your sway bars (consider it charity work)

So the GS460 Sway bars won't fit in the 2006 GS430? How do they know? I called them and asked a few days ago and they are not sure if they fit, they always give me an unsure answer...

best way to check is to look up the part numbers on the stock sways and see if they match

Little weird. Did the suspension change between the 06 and 07?

I'm going to test this out so we know for sure. I placed my order over the weekend so let me get the parts and report back.

I hope it works out for the GS430 guys as well. You probably will benefit touch more because of the heavier motor in the front

GOOD NEWS! Its confirmed, you CAN install F-Sport Sway bars on a 2006-7 GS430! For all you Socal guys, I went to Corner 3 in Lake Forest, I only paid $85. Much cheaper than the $280 I saw a guy spend on his? I took a picture on my camera phone, but it looks horrible, I have to figure out how to get it off my crappy phone....
