You guys need to ask New Yorkers about these. I live here believe me it's very hard to let them go because I love everything about it but they are just not for NY streets. Specially for daily driving. Other than that on smooth and highway roads it's just right. I've been rocking my head for a decision if they are staying or going but leaning more towards letting them go.

I hear ya, I grew up in the NYC area. The 5 boroughs are hell on a car.

agree 100%. North NJ roads are harsh enough for these, not to mention NYC and especially on the brick road.

The USRS uses 95 durometer material. Figs has LCA bushings that are 90 or even 80 durometer. These may be a good middle ground between USRS and stock. I think Rafi initially developed the USRS with 88 durometer material - too bad those are not available...

Installed these this afternoon. Sweet baby Jesus. Like a new car.

Directions on the preload is slightly misleading. There's some sort of loctite on the hardware from the factory, so they don't really "loosely" thread. I basically just kept turning them until the shim no longer fit. But required wrenches. The second one I ran the hardware in and back out to clear the threads in order to finger thread them as directed and just did the same thing. Adjusted till the shin barely couldn't fit.

I tried tightening the spindle nuts as much as I could but my feeler gauge still fits in between there. Is this going to cause any issues?

Are the main bolts loose before you preload, and is the weight back on the wheels. The Bush looks a little splayed out?

Those pics were without the wheel on. I followed the instructions and only tightened the main bolts to 10 pounds feet of torque. My feeler gauge is only able to fit on the bottom portion of the bushing, not the sides.

Love my USRS. Made a huge difference on my 2014 ISF. Rides and goes over bumps a lot smoother. Turning radius feels good as well.

Do these come with shims? I didn’t get any. I got to play the guessing game.
