I'm not trying to sound harsh here, but anyone expecting a big change in handling due to switching out one set of suspension bushings needs to reset their expectations.

I noticed a difference the first time I backed out of my driveway, and there is a noticeable difference when braking while turning (especially over rough pavement). I would describe the car as handling more predictably, which I believe is an improvement. But it is still a subtle improvement, not a drastic change.

I just ordered a set but gave them a call before pulling the trigger and got some of the best customer service possible. Can't wait to put them on. Thanks Mike

So my car has about 113k miles on it and the steering feels pretty loose compared to how it was about a year ago. Will these bushings help tighten it back up and give me better steering input? Sorry for the newb question. Btw I'm on bc coils and have the isf steering damper as well if that makes any difference ...

2011+ steering ecu off the isf give you better steering then the damper. Do a search and read the feedbacks. I've yet to try it but that my to do lost next year.

I've already read the posts... I'm referring to the bushings

Really depends on why it feels loose. These bushings will stabilize the alignment, but you need to fix what is there first. One thing that people overlook is rear toe settings and how the impact steering response. The multi-link rear has quite a bit of bumpsteer and it behaves like 4 wheel steering as the suspension compresses and rebounds.

Any CL discounts?

Sorry unlike other vendors we specialize in Lexus markets and we pay a nice premium to advertise here. Our pricing reflects our best pricing given import overhead and stocking considerations. I do not keep two sets of prices as we discount what we can already.
I have reduced the price of our pre-installed in refurb brackets since we have a few on hand.
Thanks Mike

Mike, I have been looking at these for a while and have a question. I track my IS350 about 6 times a year and was wondering if these would help me with tire ware. I run a dedicated set of track tires (only see track time and driving to and from track) and have my front alignment set up with zero toe and -2deg of camber. With that I do see noticeable ware on the outside edge of the front tires due to the minimal camber I am running but I also see equal ware on the inside edge which is surprising. I am wondering if this could be the change in toe during hard braking due to the design of the IS. Would your brushing help this? Tired of going through front tires every 5-6 track days. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

Yes that is exactly what they will do especially under extreme braking loads.

Wow the thread lives on!

It's time to grease the bushings for the 3rd time. They are a little squeaky. Also, need to get an alignment as she tagged a curb with the rear right tire going into *bucks 2 weeks ago. A mans job is never done

I can grease both bushings in about an hour at home. It's a really quick hit.
