They don't install just like that. You have to drop the entire rear subframe. Hell of a job.

and TRD develop the rear damper instead
There is one company that make sway bar for our 3is, SARD. i have those on my car. for installation you definitely dont need to lower the sub frame the shop charged me like $300 for installation.

because you need to drop the sub frame just to install the rear sway bar (technically) F sport and TRD didnt develop one since 2014. u notice how the f sport line up have intake, exhaust, spring, shocks but no sway bar?

Not talking labor here man. The bar price alone, as per that thread, is $57x.00 for the T-demand front and rear bars. Its a piece of spring steel; the cost is outrageous. I assume the lack fo support and demand drives up the price.
As for install maybe you guys factor install into your figures? I personally dont as I can do 98% of the work myself for the 2% I cant do I have friends that can

if u want ur parts from Japan price range would be 600-1200 for a set of sway bar
if some manufacture from taiwan or or china decided to make them then its would be cheaper

Ive seen the OEM PRICES and yeah even at slightly above cost prices (I get body shop prices
) they are still major $$. I also figured there is markup just because of the Lexus name but geez! There are non japanese companies like
stillen, suspension techniques, Eibach etc etc that make high quality parts and usually a pair of sway bars is $250-400 so Im just surprised there are only two (high cost) options right now.

Lexus marks up the price alot compared to cost.
also just a heads up, if anyone hears a clicking/flexing noise from the front or rear, there is a TSB for the bushings to lubricate them up with rubber grease. had the noise already for my 2017 IS. (same for 2014+ IS)

Do you know which bushings they are? I have coil overs in mine, so I doubt they'll do a TSB for me... might as well just do it myself as a maintenance regularly.

I'm not familiar with it for 2014-2016...I know of the rear brake squeak, parking brake noise, and whine noise ones...but nothing about any bushings.

no updated parts yet, but summited concern to TCI, possible might have an updated part in the future. but for now i lubricated with rubber grease and noise went away.
