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
