Aftermarket Swaybars for LX570 - Anybody?

[KRR]

Have any MUDders tried aftermarket swaybars on their LX (or AHC-equipped LC)?

Quick googling shows there are a few varieties out there:

Nolathane: Looks like they make front and rear bars. Never heard of this brand
REAR:

FRONT:

Whiteline looks like they make a REAR bar, but couldn't find one sold in USD. Good aftermarket brand.

Achtuning (cute) Another brand I've never heard of, but looks like they have a front and rear:

Just curious if anyone has tried these out. After fitting my 35's, the wife has complained of a wobbly ride at speed, and I've noticed quite a bit more body roll and steering input required compared to the stock-ish setup on there before. Of course, that's to be expected, but even in "sport" mode it feels a little sloppier than I would like. I thought this might be an easy way to bring the on-road handling back closer to stock. It might feasibly be easy enough to make swaybar disconnects if offroad performance is hampered too much.

What say ye, MUD? I guess other than "AHC is awesome and flawless and why would anyone ever want to mess with Toyota engineering perfection." I know you guys

Here's my review...

Here's my review on a recent whiteline swaybar purchase

Hope it helps. Cheers!

I just thought I would update this thread. Not related to the original swaybar topic, but rather the ensuing LX ride/handling discussion.

I recently installed some 35x12.5x17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss 119 D on 17x8 wheels and pretty much all my ride and handling complaints have evaporated. I'm not sure if it's the wider tire, the lower load rating (old Nittos were 128 E, so definitely a heavy duty load rating), or just a new/better quality tire with even tread, but I am now very happy with high speed stability and handling in the curves. Ride quality around town is WAY better at 40psi than the Nittos were at 34psi . I have been playing around with tire pressure and will likely run something in the 35psi ballpark for on-road duty. They still feel very solid handling-wise at lower pressure. They also did great offroad at 16psi. This is just personal conjecture, but I think a big fat lady like the LX really benefits from wide tires if you're willing to go through the effort to make room for them.

My opinion after moving from 129load narrow 35" to 121 load narrow 35" is that the lower load rating matters very much for ride and handling.
