FIGS Front Lower Arm Rear Mount #2 Poly Bushing 90 duro HP
#106
There are just a few we are missing. But we can come close especially on the ones that matter.
most our sway bushings are 80 durometer, but the real benefit is in the lubrication features. Sticky sway bar bushings are what I estimate cause the majority of bar breakages.

Just messaged them to see about shipping to the Fatherland.
I gotta get this done and then align the car ASAP. The inside tread of my tires currently are completely bald -- while the rest of the tires are ok. I am not interested in playing patty cakes with my car, and given that I am putting new Summer tires on the car tomorrow -- this needs to get done.
FIGS, anyway I can order these pre-mounted in bushing "brackets" (for lack of a better word)?

I might not be following something correctly.
I am not sure how one can lubricate the inner sleeve after the whole assembly is installed on the car...there is no way you can push it out of the poly bushing while the two body mounting nuts are still on the LCA bushing bracket. You would have to take the whole assembly back off the car and then gently tap it out with rubber hammer and some sort of punch (maybe end of a wrench?).
Also, how are you guys installing these?
Running your car up on ramps and leaving the tires on?
Putting the car on jackstands and removing the front tires?

When I installed my LCA brackets, I had simply put the car on jackstands and left the front tires on.

The only rear sub-frame mod I've done was replacing the OEM rear crossmember braces with some billet aluminum ones. You can see both the solid aluminum differential mounts and the rear sub-frame braces here:

After hand tightening everything, I jacked up the car, removed the front jack stands, and lowered it onto front ramps in order to torque everything down while the front suspension was loaded to prevent the bushings from being under stress while parked.

I put my bushings on today....
First, some things:
1) Get an impact gun to loosen the bolts.
2) Get a long pry bar to deflect the Lower Control Arm.
3) Take the wheels off, so you can use the longer pry bar and get leverage without the wheel in the way.
4) If you use the jack spot in front of the oil pan, you will probably have to jack one side of the car up first a bit to get the big jack under the front of the car...
The steering seems better at higher/spirited speeds...haven't notice any low speed improvement. This could all be in my head.
I'll take the car to get aligned later, but it appears to track straight.
Also, I see absolutely no way you are lubing up the bushing between the poly material and the small tube that the LCA threaded stud goes through without taking the whole bushing assembly off the car.
I'm assuming no, but do these bushings impact our caster?

You can adjust caster +/- 20' (0.33°) by replacing the bracket (Lexus offers both) if you really want to.
I ended up trying to avoid the maintenance of poly bushings, so I ordered these bushings from an RC F instead. They are noticeably stiffer than the factory 2IS, but still retain the rubber design like the factory ones.
Never having used the Figs ones I can't compare them, but the stability under braking is definitely improved.

What part number are you using for your LCA bushings? And how much did you pay?
I'm coming from an 08 IS-F, which as I understand it has a different part number from a regular 2nd gen IS.
