Ok so I had a little extra time today after a rough week, installed the Swift springs on my car (front only), along with the Figs LCA bushings, and the F Sport rear sway bar (which I powder coated black).
Racked it and aligned it, found the SPC ball joints were not necessary, which surprised me a bit. Car drives awesome. A little stiffer in the front (reminds me of the ride of an early F), but handles great, and doesn't seem to dart around so much under hard braking, which I am assuming can be contributed to the LCA bushings.
As stated, these bushings are excellent quality and without a doubt a welcome addition to my car.

Thanks. Will be ordering sooner than later. I will be donating this set of PSS to the track Gods. Ill buy the bushings for the next fresh set of rubber. Is it common to get noise with these?

I had a set installed during the same week a new set of PSS were installed on my car 5000 miles or so back. Just about a week or so ago I had to have the front passenger tire replaced due to a pothole in a parking lot (damage to sidewall) but road hazard covered it thru Tire Rack. Anyway there was absolutely no wear in the common area you typically see on all passenger side front tires due to the flex issue of the stock CA's. When I had the OE Potenza's replaced after the first 20k miles (right before the PSS) there was noticeable wear on the front passenger tire that matches everyone else's issues as described. Hope this helps.

It's going to vary with environment certainly. The grease and poly formulation are developed to be complete compatible and the diamond features should retain a balance of grease in the bushing. From our own empirical testing we have not seen a requirement after 45K miles or so.

I got my bushing for my ISF installed a couple days ago. Overall the ride quality is the same and no increase in the noise from the stiffer bushings. If anything, it is more responsive and it seems like the suspension is doing is job better...it's less bouncy over random bumps, not sure how else to describe it. I am on BC Coilovers and Michelin Pilot Super Sports.
I got the bushing installed and aligned at LexTech in Pasadena (tel: 626-765-6190). Mike Bedrossian (Lexus Mastertech) did a excellent job of both the bushing install and alignment. For those who are **** about their alignment spec, I would highly recommend Mike. One thing that he said while doing the alighment was that he didn't care about if the maching was reading "green" (he has a Hunter Alignment Machine), he wanted to make sure the numbers were EXACT and feel of the car to be what the customer wanted.
Anyway, highly recommend these new bushings and work done by LexTech in Pasadena...Darshana S...

Yes. Any difference between the original bushing and the replacement will impact toe. There is no way they are truly identical, and even a small difference means a lot because of the bushing's location relative to the steering rack.
