Default Pulling my hair out, one by one.

I finally get bold and decide that maybe, juuuuust maybe I'll look into the rear sway bar...everyone seems to sing the good news about how much difference there is, how it's night and day, so on and so forth yada yada

With a big smile on my face and stars in my eyes I call and try to order the part and make an appt to have it installed. To my disappointment, there is none is stock but they did order some to have on hand and it will arrive on the 24th. I just got a call and was told it won't be in until the 8th of next month. He said that there were none in the US, that Japan is sending out x amount and he's getting four.

I think it was really nice of him to call me this far ahead of time to let me know and to tell me of the situation.

But my question is, why are there NONE around? Has anyone else here having a problem getting it? I saw on one of the threads a while back that even Sewell was almost/are of stock on them too? Unfortunately I don't do online ordering so even if they had one, it wouldn't be something I can do.

The excitement is draining here and the frustration is like pulling my hairs out one by one.

Another old school drift trick is to use hose clamps to double up 2 stock sway bars..
Instant 200% stiffness haha

Look at post nos. 198 & 199 on this thread:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...thread-14.html

The rear only bar set has been discontinued.

I just can't see spending the additional money on something that won't improve it as much.

Seems like every thread you make is about either

-Worst mod you ever bought.
-Worst Installation process you ever went throughout
-How do young people afford to drive lexus.

Just wait and you'll find a used one for sale or just buy them online.

I never started a thread about how young people afford to drive a Lexus, it was more about me being older and finally affording one myself, yet finding out not many people my age are on here.

If you prefer, maybe I shouldn't make any more threads?

Hang around a Lexus dealer for a day. Do these look like people who care about modifying their cars enough to join an online forum dedicated to it?

Probably not.

You didn't say who you ordered them with, did you try Sewell? Because it shows that it is in stock http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...-2010-400.html
And if you hate waiting for it, just order more stuff

I believe F-Sport parts are made in the US. I could be wrong.
