gamma113 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Hi All,Today ordered Cusco front sway bar model: 199 311 A30 for my IS350 2008 (Japanese import) fromNengun. After i placed my order I realized it stated ' compatible with both the Lexus IS350 GSE21, and the IS250 GSE20 ( Late Model 2008/8- - RWD - Front 30mm ) I have asked Nengun, they have not been helpful to answer my question, apart from i will need to pay 30% restocking fee if i want to get it refund. I think my IS350 is made before 2008 August. Does it mean it will not fit my IS350? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinkz Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 It'll fit. It's the rear sway bar that you need to be careful of. They come straight which will only suit the American ISX50's due to their shallower spare wheel floor pan. That said, i think cusco's rear sways for our cars will have the dent to accommodate our full sized spare floorpan. It's the F-sport rear sway where you'll need to be careful of.

gamma113 Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 You sure about that? Do you have a pre-August 2008 Japanese IS350 Fit Cusco front sway bar? I just did a quick search and saw one guy re-sell his cusco bar on Ebay because it didn't fit his pre-2009 IS350. Here http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Cusco-Lexus-IS250-IS350-2009-2013-GSE20-GSE21-30mm-Front-Sway-Bar-/201452168276 I really worry and uncertain about it. Should i cancel my order now loss 30% restocking fee before it get shipped or bite the bullet see if it work when it arrive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plankton007 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I did a quick search and they have differrnt part numbers with 06-08 being 48811-53040 and 09+ being 48811-53080. I know some people on the forums managed to interchange then though but don't quote me on that. To be honest I don't know why it shouldn't fit when the design is the same. Perhaps maybe the bushing where it bolts onto the chassis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plankton007 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Since you're losing money either way you could try fit it on your car and always sell it off if it doesn't fit. Just depends on how much people are willing to pay for it. It's a gamble I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinkz Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 The more I look into this, the more confusing it starts to get. Here's a suggestion. PM this vendor HERE and ask him to be sure since he sells the cusco front sway bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
