^ Mike, looks like I can't do the compare pictures thingy for your product Mike. Received the bushings last week, don't have time to do it. I'm letting someone else doing it so not gonna have time to take pictures. But will definitely let you know if it fit or not

Ah man, do you have any pictures? Those sleaves need to be in there for proper fitment. Not sure how bad they are.

Luckily my mechanic fab up some outer sleeves and was able to make it fit snug in there. Sorry I don't have any pictures of the process. FIGS bushings are official in and car feel just find. To me, it feels just like stock. no complaint here. So for future reference for anyone that are using FIGS front LCA bushings on 97+ front lca, it's easier to burn out the rubber and gut it out to leave the OUTER casing or sleeve intact. After that just clean it up and press the FIGS bushings in.

A NTB tire store in Decatur/Atlanta, GA just tried to instal front lower control arms on my SC300 for $900 each. The bushings are worn out after 320,000 miles. I have not trusted tire stores for decades.

Originally we had the same confusion until we actually got some early model arms in and pressed in the Late model bushings. From what I can tell the application refers to an "early model" which is perhaps the Soarer that never came over to the US. We are working on a DIY video next week.
Our bushings are made by Superpro Australia, akin to Whiteline however they offer a lifetime warranty regardless of track or offroad use which says a lot. They contain features to retain grease instead of displace it. We removed some Prothane bushings out of our sponsored drift cars and they were not only horrible on tolerance ie. the crush tubes were loose in the bushing, but they lack any sophistication on molding features or grease retention.
We keep both versions in stock but the above arm was a 1994 SC arm, so kinda throws the application boundary into question. This is why we have consolidated on a single application for all USDM SC's.

You will need to buy both of this from these two links
http://shopfigs.com/v1/SC%20SC300%20...product_id=193
http://shopfigs.com/v1/SC%20SC300%20...product_id=194
One is for the both front sides of the lca the other is for the both rear sides
Also, please make sure to burn out the old bushing, pressing out the old bushing will most likely crush the outer sleeves that is needed for the FIGS bushings.
Please look at the FIGS picture above you will see a shiny sleeves inside the lca, THAT MUST BE THERE IF NOT YOU WILL HAVE TO FAB UP NEW SLEEVES!
Sorry didn't have pictures of the installation, didn't have time so my mechanic did all the work.

sorry for the delay on the video. We never got to it with the last sets of bushings being sold out. I did however discover why we have 2 bushing applications. One is actually for the control arm without the factory outer cup and one is with the cup remaining(the one listed.) I am working to update the application and bring more bushings in.
