Stock endings yes. Don't know on Daizen bushings.

Will these work with the stock endlinks + Daizen bushings?

Thanks - very good to know.
Do you know which poly bushings would work with these?

Does anyone know which brand makes polys in these sizes? It seems the Daizens are sized for the (smaller) stock bars and the Prothanes are 28.5mm front and 14mm rear.

Are sway bar bushings model-specific, or can there be some interchangeability?

Prothane makes universal sway bar bushings in a variety of sizes

Thanks- ordered these from Amazon:

I'll report back after installation.

For future reference, I just received an email from TM Engineering confirming that the Daizen sway bar hasn't been in production for years. It's still on their website as if one can order it, though.

So I installed the Ebay "EMUSA" front and rear sways with Prothane bushings (linked above) and stock links. My GS400 handles like a different car now - on hard, tight turns it'll stay upright and lose traction before the body has a chance to lean. Faster, safer, smoother, and still rides as gently as before when driving in a straight line, but much more stable feeling at high speeds. This is amazing, and I'm surprised that Lexus didn't make them like this in the first place. Thanks for the help and recommendations.

Did the brackets and bushings you order fit perfectly?

They did. The hole in the rear bushings was a little too wide, but it closed up when the bracket was tightened.

Just installed these and I agree, the car is a completely different car now. 3 days after installing these I switched to some Michelin Primacy mx4 and installed Bilstein Sports with Eibach Pros. Feel like im driving my old bmw instead of my lex. Definitely recommend

To you guys who recently installed both the front and rear, did you have any issues getting the rear bar in?
This is my first go at suspension but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the rear bar installed with links. I have new ROCA links btw. From my observations this bar is slightly longer than the stock and the ends have a slant: / \ or \ / depending on how they are flipped. Any suggestions would be great.

*I have the ebay kit btw*

after reading all thru this thread, i did some searching and found the same ebay emusa sway bars 31mm front and 20 mm rear. I pulled the trigger and super excited to get them on. I also contacted figs engineering and chris the salesman hooked me up with some blue poly. sway bar bushings that fit the sway bars i ordered perfectly. they come in 31mm front bushings and 20mm rear bushings with the recommended grease. they cost me 67 shipped and they have a lifetime warranty. as soon as i get the bars on ill report back my review. #can'twait
