Tom's makes one, TRD makes one too and a couple of others. Check out L-tuned parts and even try the classifieds.

TOM'S front LCB might not fit your GS400. IIRC its designed for GS300.
I recommend doing a search before placing an order

Spacers will work, but it will take away some of the performance of the bar. The spacers will become the weak-link of the system. I guess for the V8 guys, the TRD is the only choice.

Toms front LCB fits on my 2004 GS430 without a problem. Can't say for the GS400, though. This is a very good mod IMO, really makes the steering responsive.
