You drive a Lex and actually LIKE harshness?????????????????? I should have sold you my 240 then, it was harsh as a maathafakka! ha ha ha, seriously though. How harsh is the ride with these sways? What was the cost of the application if you don't mind?

the sways didnt really make the ride stiffer, but i think my hiperdampers were set at full stiff when pat drove it, when i set it to full soft, it feels like eibachs on stock struts... i paid like 500 plus shipping for the swaybars, i got them from tod at TMengineering

Nice.

I really want a set of these, but at the moment Id rather put the $500 for the swaybars towards something else on my car.

Boostshakalaka,

Nice pics!!! I see you love them as well

I couldn't believe the difference when I installed my set. It was simply breathtaking. The car now exhibits NO bodyroll at all and I was able to soak up those corners at twice the speed I used too ( Don't tell the CHP :P )

I reccomend this upgrade to any SC owner. I wish lexus would have put these on at the factory. I didn't seem to notice any harshness to the ride. It felt much more balanced and responsive though.

I'll be back later...I have some porsches to chase :P

hehe i'd have to agree on the reviews of the daizens... in the pic with the rear sway bar, is it just me or does it look like where it connects to the tie rod, it's sittin lower than the control arm or the linkage to the tire?... i made that mistake the first time installin it and it sat my rear higher than even stock height.... so i had to re-install the tie rods so it was facing upward and the rods had to be switched around like what the instruction said to avoid hittin the shocks....

oh and wit those swaybars you can take turns a lot better with no bodyroll...

from 101N to 380 to 280N, that ramp onto 280N, i took it at around 80mph, i was scared crappers but was surprised not even a squeal... imo best bang for buck in terms of suspension, better than springs/shocks or coilovers.

I'm contemplating installing the DSB for a while but I'm curious: if you replaced both the coilovers and the dsb at the same time how can you tell which one help with the handling/cornering let alone claiming that the dsb help more than the coilover?

SC400,

My car has the original springs but KYB struts, and you could definitely notice the diff with the new sways installed.

They are a must have for any SC owner!

Toysoarer,

Do you listen to the Visionaries? I noticed your "C-A All Day" sig

Is that the ramp that enters 280 South right before Crystal Springs Rd? (It's a left hand curve with a slight bank)
If we're thinking of the same ramp, I've taken it going 85 and all I have is Eibachs.
But then again....I'm a crazy **** and really push the limits.

yup. I bought every product that daizen makes. Sways, control arm bushings, sway bushings and wheel alignment thing. They are all top grade stuff. I got my stuff from TMengineering.
