exact same part, rcf/gsf bushings are just firmer.

0 degree Caster

if you’re lowered you get one with a certain degree of caster, experts will have to chime in on which ones to buy if you’re lowered.

I bought and installed those part #’s on my car, stock suspension.

Looks like an easy install..

1. Would I need an alignment or alignment check after i do the install?

2. Does anyone know if Lexus fixed the excessive inner tire wear on the 2018 model?

Thanks guys this is all really helpful information

super easy install, 3 or 4 bolts each side. With a lift it’s a 25-30 min job from start to finish. No alignment required but doesn’t hurt to do alignment (you might be out of spec and not realize it) I did not get an alignment. I thought some suspension components were tweaked on 2017 or 2018 models not sure what specifically.

I decided just to leave rear setup as is for now but looking forward to get the SPC Performance Camber Rear Camber Arm - don't think I need it since I got the 17 model ( at least not until I see uneven wear at the rear tires).
