They mean does not work with models with APSS. My dealer is fitting these sways to my GS460 on June 4th. If you like I can tell you what I think of them once they are installed.

I am interested although I may have mine on by then as well (2006 GS430 - stock springs and 18" wheels). I got my notice from Sewell they were prepped to ship yesterday, so I assume I'll have them sometime next week. Planning to do the install myself. Looking at the instructions, it doesn't look like more than an hour or two.

if you know a bit about cars, it's not hard doing the sways install at all

I'm comfortable turning a wrench. I crawled under it last night with a flashlight to see what I was in for. Aside from needing to hit the nuts and bolts with this the day before I do the work it looks straightforward.



edit: just checked shipping and it looks like they'll arrive tomorrow! Should be able to find time before Monday to do the install.

they can, time wise shouldn't be more than 1 1/2 hour. but they usually rip you on that. you will get warranty if you get them installed at dealership

Have the issues with the F-sport sways been resolved or is there still a noise (knocking) issue?

Yes, they fixed it. Lexus revised the bushings. Darrel from Sewell tells us that all the old bushings have been replaced in their stock. And some of us who have the sway bars, have replaced the original bushings with the revised bushings, have good results (no noise).
