aftermarket RR sway bar links for LS400?
are there any for the 1LS? i need to order these but dealership price is 80 bux each. is there such thing as universal or multi aplications sway bar links? or even adjustable? anything that is cheaper than dealership price?

Don't think so but if you find them definitely share - I have a custom rear bar that is about twice the diameter of OEM but use stock end links - my end links don't seem to affect the performance of the sway bar though.
You can get aftermarket as cheap as $35 from internet retailers.
However I would call Sewell Lexus and Carson Toyota for cheapest OEM price.

well i get wholesale price from lexus but still theyre like 70 bux each, over 150 for both. i recently got the addco sway bar(is that what u got?) which i absolutely love and am happy with, but the end links seem to b getting lose every week. and when i try to screw them back on the whole ting turns and doesnt tighten. the endlinks done look like anything sprecial, they look pretty simple so i figured it shouldnt b hard to find aftermarket ones or universal performance ones. but so far no luck.

Yup - I have the Addco bar as well. I had to drill the end link holes out larger so the end links would fit. I also upgraded the bushings to Energy's with grease ports.
You mentioned the end link bolt just turns and turns - you probably know this but I will mention anyway - you have to use a 7mm (I think) allen wrench and then a box end wrench to tighten the end link bar. Not sure why Lexus designed it like that a it is weird. If you look closely at it you will see the hex head. When I installed mine I thought it was stripped
Then I saw the hex head - crazy man.
The Addco really made a difference on mine - that with the Tom's STB and the car is much tighter in the corners.
