Hello All,
New to the Lexus IS500 world and now that my car is put away for winter I was looking into mods that I can do over the winter to keep myself busy. One that I see come up a lot on the forum is the Figs FCA bushings, as this appears to cause tire wear on the inside of the front wheels. Is this for every IS500 is it based on mileage and the bushing wears out or a design flaw and I should just pull the trigger and replace? Also with someone with more experience any other mods I should look at? Just looking to get some input on other peoples experiences.

Thanks for your time!

 

List so far for me:

Front and rear Upper control arms.
LCA bushing
Engine cooler
Eventually, summer wheels
Maybe catch can

 

The FLCA bushing is a must and not just on IS500 but also on other IS, RC, GS and other Toyota/Lexus RWD platform w/ similar suspension layout. The bushing is too soft even for RCF, ISF and GSF, there is a video somewhere on youtube that shows how much movement with the OEM bushing vs. Figs or RR Racing bushing. Other mods that you can do is front strut bar, intake, axel-back exhaust if u want some more v8 noises those are pretty easy to install, throttle controller and shift *****.
