The bushings have been on the car for just under 1 year and 19k+ miles. I just did an oil change Monday and the inside of the front tires look good. I will post photos soon.

Figs front LCA poly bushing
If the tire tread pattern allows, do you think it would be a good idea to spent the money and have a tire shop cross swap front tires putting the outer tread to the inside for greater distance , maybe around 15K depending on how they look? Earlier or later as needed.

I read the instructions for the bushings install and they are vague about what does get greased and what doesn't. Are there any better directions? I don't want to grease something I'm not supposed to. Thanks for any info.

OK, im very interested in this. I like that you can take your hands off the wheel when stopping over bumps and still track straight...thats overly impressive. But how does this mod actually allow the front tires to not wear down on the inside? Is it similar to a camber correction kit...meaning you will surely have to tell the Lexus dealer(or whomever) exact custom alignment settings seeing as how if they set it to "Lexus spec" it will be no different than stock? Maybe im missing something here, please advise.

Photos of tires (finally) 20k miles old with FIGS
First time getting 20k miles our of front tires. The way they look now we should be able to get a full 40k miles out of these.

Yes, but the steering will be very darty. I did this twice since the car was new and it bought more time until we ended up buying more tires. Looking at the baldness on the outside of the tires after swapping them made we want to get tires sooner.

The amount of toe change while driving is where this mod helps inner tire wear as no alignment changes are necessary. The toe change is just whacky with the amount of deflection on the stock bushings. The FIGS video of the ISF shows this.
