Got mine installed today (along with an alignment). I am really happy with the new feel. It is pretty subtle, but noticible on the street. Steering feels more direct, braking more precise. Great product!
It didn't feel subtle to me at all, but I did both LCA bushings or maybe better said, all four at the same time. No flex front and no flex rear. Feels like a different car.
Maybe it's just in my mind but it does feel more direct in steering and less wooble when braking. Don't know if I actually need an alignment but that seems to be the recommendation after having these installed.
Just wanted to post an update after 10,000 miles on the new front tires. Perfectly even front tire wear!!! I'm thinking I could get close to 25-30,000 miles on the PSS's now!

do you recall your alignment numbers? e.g. camber and toe on the front wheels?
Thanks for the on going feedback on our product. Literally millions of miles on these bushings around the world. The progressive support of the poly profile is perfect for street and spirited grip vehicles alike and its a perfect fit for the IS-F.
We also just finished the bearing mounts for first customer ship for a more aggressive feedback. Nvh is still in check with our other bushings installed and no noise.
I will post up pics once we have them assembled in brackets.

Thanks FIGS for helping me get rid of a squeak in < -10 degree weather.
I ended up taking the LCA bushings completely off and re-lubing the pieces.
So far tested in extreme cold weather with no noise (been now a couple of weeks).
Truthfully I would think it be very difficult to re-lube these while it is on the car. While the LCA Bushing was off I had to take a rubber mallet and socket with adequate force to push them out.

Well, the idea would be to pry between the rear face of the lower arm and the crush tube, then get the tube to start sliding in much the same manor and finish the job by grabbing the tube and pulling it out. The complete removal and press out with an arbor press or mallet will be the most straightforward as the time you save with it on the car will likely be eaten up with additional complexity during the process. Glad you got it re-lubricated. They are pre lubed but perhaps yours was on the light side. The grease is designed to cover a very wide range as it was originally used for an industrial application that saw sub zero to high temperatures.
