Oh yeah that's right, 4 are added two are replacements.
On another note the Toms rear lower control brace is additional not replacement bracing and if you use the Toms front lower control brace it is a replacement piece, but again it also adds two more support points than the stock brace in addition to being stiffer than the stock brace.
The TRD version of the front LCB does not have the additional support bracing as the Tom's, so I'd prefer the Tom's over the TRD front LCB.

umm not really.. u really dontneed the imnstructions.. from one of those 3 link that sum1 gave to other ppl who posted pics of it installed u can tell where the bars go.. pretty straightforward.. i juts jacked up one side ofthe car and did it and then jackedup the other side... when u take out the bolt for the mear rear mount of the subframe the frame will lower a bit.. so i juts put a 2X4 under the frame bar going across under the diff and lowered the car till it pushed back up n squeezed under there and tightened it...

here's the installed pics of the Toms 6-Link on my car... they are silver i thought they'd be red.. so look for the silver pieces
here u can, if you look hard find all 6 braces
here you can see the 3 links on the passenger side
here's the GS in its workzone
this Toms setup did work with my Tanabe HM exhaust also
