Default GSF rear sway bar swap?

Has anyone figured out if the GSF rear sway bar will fit our GS4's yet?

Oh yeah, new owner of a 14 Fsport. Love the S+ mode in this car. Outstanding.

It should be a fit but im not 100%. You should try calling Lexus and asking them.

Just found this. Incredibly inexpensive. Just need to see if it is possible. Part #'s are different vs a 2014 gs350 (my ride)

The sway bar should fit fine, it would be the endlinks that are probably very different.

i believe the gsf doesnt have an adaptive suspension like the fsport does so more than likely it would be a no go.

"As mentioned previously, the GS F forgoes the Adaptive Variable Suspension for a more traditional double wishbone front/multi-link rear setup"

"Where the standard GS and the high-performance competition have switched to electronic variable damping, the GS F goes with old-fashioned Sachs mono-tube shocks"

it should fit theoretically. all the suspension components are almost identical with the exception of aluminum parts vs steel on a standard gs.
