I probably should have this moved to a build thread as I’m setting the car up to tow my street car when needed. I needed to go ahead and wire up a trailer harness to have functioning lights while in tow. Went back with a Curt ( part number 59236 ) product which features this 4pin connector kit. While it wasn’t the hardest job it did have its challenges. I ended up purchasing a Multi Meter to source the current wires to splice into. If you allows yourself to get frustrated it will turn into a nightmare job, especially if you want it done stealthily and OEM looking. Just basic tools needed and a lot of patience. I’m headed outside here in a moment to install the fuse link to protect the battery and module but that’s an easy install. Also got around to putting Powerstop brake kit on and it’s much better. I’ll be doing the fronts next month along installing a set of coilovers to put her down a bit. Later on I’m going to convert the rear coilovers to a bag system to help with leveling out while towing the car. Weds are on but the stance is blah lol!
Here’s a few pics but I can snap more if yall need.

Yesterday I was able to snake the 4 pin through the wheel well by modding 1 of the drain plugs under the spare tire. Now it’s complete and she’s ready to haul my GTE swap when I get one!
Next I’ll be ordering up some coilovers to get the stance better this week and installing the front powerstop brakes all before heading to Texas to visit family.

Hi, I'm buying a 2017 LS 460 AWD. Low mileage. It's in great condition. I'm considering firmer sway bars, links, and bushings (medium density) in an attempt to improve the handling just enough so it feels sportier but without losing the LS 460 luxury ride. Other mods are newer wheels and tires. I'm also considering a throttle controller. Audio improvements will be done, too. So, the question is whether the sway bars, links, & bushings are a smart thing to do -- or not. If so, which brand? Will F parts work? I'm coming from a 2013 GS 350 AWD, so I'm excited about the step up in luxury, but hoping to avoid the "pontoon boat" effect -- I'm trying to thread the needle between better handling and zip off the line with maintaining the luxe. Help, Jon
