ISF/RCF End-Links compatible with a 2nd Gen IS350?
I'm curious to find out if either ISF or RCF Sway bar End Links are compatible with a 2010 IS350 RWD. I have a friend who works for a Toyota dealer (and has access to Lexus parts) and he couldn't tell me, but pointed me to you guys LOL!

The rears takes it to 39 cars. Includes all of the above with the addition of the ISF.

Just to clarify, The two part numbers listed above for the front End Links are compatible with the 2nd Gen IS350?

Yes we do indeed 😀
On a serious note, back to why I asked the original question on RC-F or ISF (or even GSF) End Links being compatible with the 2nd gen... I think it's possible that the stock sway bar End Links can't handle the combo of the heavier F Sport sway bars and the polyurethane LCA Bushings. Today I could distinctly hear the rattling coming back, and not just in turns. I'm going to get it checked when I get a chance to make sure nothing is coming loose, but from what I can tell, I either need to upgrade the end links, go back to the stock sway bar (in front at least), or change the LCA Bushings to less aggressive ones. Talking to a Lexus parts manager, they don't make f Sport specific End links (at least for my year and model), and I don't even know where to start when it comes to the aftermarket. MOOG at first seemed like it was the best choice, but two different sets they sent me didn't work. So I'm at an impasse right now...
EDIT
I can't hear the rattle if I drive with the windows open. I only hear it with the windows closed. It's pretty much following the pattern before I changed the End Links, it started as a slight rattle but got worse over time

According to the Matrix, it fits GS, IS as well as RC models (IS350 2006-2020). I'm wondering if these are heavier duty than the stock End Links I currently have installed

That's why they didn't list out on the IS-F.
That said my F-Sport has the same front lower control arm as the IS-F. You could look at a Moog part for the IS-F and see if the picture is the same or order one and send it back?

One of these nights I can post up pictures of what I pulled, give you measurements. If an AWD member can chime in w the same, perhaps the AWD are more severe duty but a bolt on? IDK!

Haha that makes sense! That's why they have two different transmissions you can pick from (details, details!). I completely forgot about AWD
