Seems I looked at it wrong. As it states 98 - 05 Lexus GS JDM Adjustable. The other one is for Toyota Aristo 98 - 05 non adjustable in the description.
I assumed both chassis where the same.
I ordered the adjustable ones today.
Hopefully the welds hold up for awhile. Compared to the Tom's they look identical.
i got the same ones installed and one of the links rubs my TRD rear sway bar. i might look for some washer to give it some room. otherwise i plan to remove the pair of them.
not my pix but for your reference. the one on the right in the picture but the pix is the one on driver side. and it is the passenger side one that rubs and cause loud squeeks ....

Are you sure it is rubbing. I had some nasty squeaks and it turned out I hadn't torqued all the bolts tight enough on the links.
yep i tried torquing it first... didn't help. then upon further inspection, i saw the link right on-top of the sway. as soon i remove 1 nut and knock out the bolt, the link shifted and noise went away.
it is right on-top of my sway and rubbing. i might put some washer to give it some clearance when i get it onto a lift.
i have TRD rear sway bars. is that what you guys got too?

Yup TRD's here too. Also lowered on L-tuned springs (maybe about 1-1.5inches)

Reason: spelling
I have had the original Tom's installed on my GS400 for over 7 years, and I would like to say that they definitely make a big difference.
One issue is that one of the rear braces, the one in question above (it goes from the large bushing to the lower control arm bolt) Broke on 2 occasions.
First time it cracked and I welded it.
Second time it broke again (just outside the weld) so I took it off and went a little crazy reinforcing it - it has been ok since - I will think about reinforcing these new (topspeed ones I have before I install them ( I bought them for my new project car)
it was the inner bolt of the lower control arm needed to be re-torque. my friend re-torque it but it still make very slight noise. i might want to make it more tight. but if it make squeak sound, i think i might take out because i don't like noisy.
