I installed the bushings about 300-400 miles after I got new tires and there seems to be significantly more camber wear on the front driver side. I got the alignment done after the bushings were installed. I'm not sure if its normal or if the majority of the wear was caused before the bushings were installed. I ran almost twice as much camber on my STI and don't remember experiencing camber wear that quickly.
This is the reason we have consolidated on stocking the 90 duro only. The 80 might work for a 250 or a GS but the braking loads on the F impose a lot of force on this bushing and the large mass allows for quite a bit of damping to still take place. Let the shocks control your comfort and the bushings control your feedback. If anything these bushings allow better function of the dampers without the torsional effects of the bushing.
Your website seems to indicate the opposite. Unless I am missing something, I am unable to order the 90 duro. There is no "add to cart" button on the 90 duro option like there is on the 80 duro option.

All international orders require us to invoice you to calc accurate shipping. But we did just adjust the website to our current inventory. We had run to 0 on the site despite having them on hand. Brackets take a few days to get from Lexus.

Anyone have these on a 250/350? On my 2nd set of front tires and it's already showing inner wear. Ideally I would have gotten the 90A but it seems like all the F's have them. Can anyone chime in?

We have plenty of 250 and 350 customers with these bushings installed. With no impact to NVH and driver comfort we found the 90 is an easier part for us to stock for all applications. The 80 we have a few of if more of a mild driver

You ran 6* negative camber on your STi? That is a recipe for wear obviously. Not sure how low your car is, but I run approximately 1.9* neg camber, as close to zero toe without going neg, and have absolutely zero abnormal tire wear. You may need to go with some SPC ball joints to correct that 3.4* camber.

I'm a 350 owner with a set of FIGS LCA 90 durometer bushings installed on my car. I can't comment on the changes to the rate of inner tire wear as I've only put about 5k miles since the upgrade but I can absolutely vouch for the improved stability of the IS during trail-braking and the overall improved steering feel on both the track and cruising around town.

-3.4 degrees of camber is problematic no matter how you slice it. You'd need stupid stiff springs just to manage roll with a suspension that low.
These bushings fix issues for people concerned about mechanical performance, not people who want to drag frame.
I installed mine today.. Deflecting the LCA to remove & replace the bushing/bracket was a bit tricky, but other than that, it went well.
I know it's advised to immediately get an alignment, but I'm not too concerned at the moment... I just got an alignment about a month ago. During the post-install test drive, it seemed to consistently track straight as an arrow. I even did some "no hands on wheel" stops from ~30-40mph and it still tracked straight. Of course, I'll keep a close eye on tire wear for awhile.
