Strut and Sway Bar Supplier
Our cars are out of production now (and there were never that many of them to begin with) so I am having trouble finding a source for an upper strut tower bar and possibly a rear sway bar kit of some kind.
Does anyone know a reputable site with reasonable prices where I can order a strut tower bar compatible with AVS (I realize I will have to remove the protective caps), and maybe something for the rear as well?
I emailed GTSpec and they said they didn't know if it would fit my car and they would let me know when they get a GS to test on (probably never going to happen).
Hoping someone with experience with this can help me out...
I'm in a 2010 GS450h for reference.
Thanks!

Why do you want a strut brace? I dont think the GS needs it! I do agree with you on swaybars, I believe two companies make them and both can be found on ebay. Fsport and Ultra Racing

I think there is a lot of flex in the front of the car. The strut tower brace seems like a good thing to do to help eliminate that. With the lower braces and some F-Sport springs I should have a good time, don't you think?

Didn't look hard enough. Also as mentioned, there's the F Sport sway bars

Thanks for the reply and digging up those links.

I don't want to swap out my shock absorbers and lose my AVS, but I am planning on putting in F-Sport or NF210 springs though.
I want to do:
Springs - NF210 or F-Sport
Sway bars and braces front and rear + strut tower bar (basically everything here except the last two, which may be overkill: http://www.ultraracing.my/catalog/in...oller=category)
Linea Corse LC818 in silver w/ Michelin Pilot Super Sport 8.5" | 245/34/19 + 10" | 275/30/19
I think this will make for a nice setup. Any thoughts or advice are appreciated.

Are sway bars really that noticeable? It seems like it is the towers that will be forced together under hard cornering due to what I am imagining would be the point of leverage.

On the other hand, back in the day 1SICKLEX (aka Mike from Vossen) put the Tanabes on and had no issues, even despite the extra weight in the back from the hybrid traction batteries. This video is just ridiculous
I am still undecided. It might come down to price and availability in the end.

I have the F-sport sway bars, springs and Shocks. No one will believe me but it handles better than my E46 M3 I used to have. I love the F-spot springs, It doesn't slam the car on the ground like a lot of people want but it does make a big difference.
