Default Is Anyone Using the Figs Lower Control Arm Upgrade Bushings?

Id love to hear some real world feedback of how this on doing on a third gen. Ive been able to find some on the second gen.

The reason i am considering it is two fold. First id like to get rid of the horrible wear characteristics of the front tires, and second turn in is generally uninspiring and it always feels like there is an abrupt unloading after hard cornering.

I have a 350 fsport on Conti DWs. I know the DW doesnt have the stiffest sidewall but the unloading was felt with the factory tires as well so i don't want to chalk it up to that.

I sent an email to the, asking about the lower control arm bushings and the front and rear sway bay bushings. I just need to find out the size of the stock bars for the 2014 IS250 and get back to them.

Do IS-F bushings/control arms work?

I generally love the handling of my IS. But the rear to me feels uneasy/unsettled/slightly on the loose side. Anyone experience that? Again, it's just slight. Minor annoyance. I'm thinking a bit too much compliance back there. Front seems fine, firm. Slightly rubbery. Still very good though.

I'm running the FIGS control arm bushings and I noticed a little bit of improvement when breaking hard. Other than that not much else to say it does stiffen things up a bit.
