To be honest I noticed barely any difference with these sways. I can only tell when I push the car really hard (e.g cornering at over 0.8g).

At normal driving speeds there is no discernible difference versus stock.

Now that my car has been put to sleep....don't waste your money on these sway bars. I don't think I ever noticed the difference and all we did notice was the horrible thumping sounds. I'm definitely not "upgrading" my future car with these "performance" parts. Lexus should stick with their bread&butter....refined/cushy/quiet vehicles...that's what they know, so why change it.

I just had mine installed last night and the difference was night and day even on turns going normal speeds. It definitely feels tighter on turns. I'm still running stock shocks/springs even.

Are you RWD or AWD?

I have the 350 RWD and installed the sway bars 2 days ago. It improved the handling by a lot. The car feels much flatter on turns. Im currently running F-Sport Springs and Sway bars.

I installed the rear bar on my AWD and it definitely improved the steering response and roll angle.
Front bar is going on today. More to come...

Just bought a 2011 GS350 AWD, has anyone installed the new "improved design" swaybar on their GS AWD. Has this resolved the "thumping/noise" issue?

Glad to see everyone is experiencing the same things I am! These really are one of the best bang for your buck mods you can make, plus the changes are immediate and clear!

I just purchased a set of Eibach Springs, FSport Shocks and new Front and Rear F Sport Sway Bars. I had everything installed two weeks ago and Its a Major Difference! The car feels better in all ways of driving. Turn in is more responsive as well as on center feel, Almost zero body roll, even braking is more responsive with less pedal travel and zero fade. It feels like a completely different car overnight. It now drives exactly how I wanted it to from the beginning. They are the new Fsport components and I have had no issues with noise or comfort. They are perfect.

anyone with a good set of sways on long term?? I'm thinking this could be my next mod.

I have NF210 springs, 1" drop.... 2006 RWD

Has the knocking sound issue been resolved... as the original complaints in this thread were like in 09 and 10....

As long as they are installed using the latest bushings (one of the threads has the markings difference highlighted), I think they have sorted out any problems.

I've had mine on a couple of years and zero issues in any climate. Mine were installed with the latest bushings.
