Sharp edges are significantly more abrupt. I dialed back the shocks from 15 clicks to 17 clicks and it helped a lot with this, but it's still significantly more jarring than when I only had the rear solid bushing. I don't mind it until I get in the wife's GS F and remember how quiet my IS F used to be. Also, a whole lot of this depends on the roads you drive every day. If they're full of pavement breaks, you might really hate solid bushings. Where I live there's very little of that (relatively speaking), just like there's almost never road salt, so I have zero corrosion issues. After seeing the underside of your car, it looks like a typical rust belt vehicle. Not sure I'd want to go full solid where you live at all, especially if you're in the Philly (or Pittsburgh) area or drive there a lot.
Appreciate the feedback. Sounds like I will stick with what I have. Local roads have lots of cracks and haven't been paved in forever. They also still put brine down on the roads sometimes around here although I am typically pretty specific in what cars I am willing to subject to that when those conditions come. Thankfully I am in NC so not much further north than you. My buddy just had the car in Pittsburgh for 6.5 years until I bought it back off him. Slowly replacing every fastener on the underside of the car to make it history that that happened. The only major component that will need to be recoated is the diff from that.
Having some fun with ducting an intake vent through the headlight. The headlight was done by "LozCustoms" in Florida. Nice genuine carbon fiber. I refreshed the intake vent through the brake duct with a venturi-like funnel as well. I previously did testing with the brake duct intake vent and it made a difference in IATs while on the track, so this headlight duct will likely amplify that, especially at speed.
Really easy to wire 2011+ (mine are 2013 headlights) to 08-10 ISF. Just unpin red and green from the harness as shown below and red goes to a ground and green goes to power (I used an ignition source in the driver side fusebox, IG2 I believe, with tap-a-fuse).
