Front and rear suspension bushing upgrade?
Just curious but is there any equivalent to the RR Racing USRS bushing upgrade available for the rear suspension? Is there any significant increase in handling performance if other front and rear bushings are changed? I've also read about putting new bushings on the sway bars and some kind of end lock (sorry, I don't know much about this stuff). Thanks.

Go to the figs website. They're based in Colorado. ( I think) and engineer a TON of suspension products for our cars.

Step one - listen to red spencer. There are a few guys on here that have very beefed up suspensions here. None more than him I imagine. He will guide you to where you want to be. Lol.

You can look into getting the F-Sport rear chassis brace in order to really tie down the rear suspension of the car.
There's a big difference with how the car responds to sudden steering inputs with the chassis brace installed (particularly with slalom type maneuvers).

Agreed!

Ive read here that the tower bars dont do much. But I too intend to purchase just to dress up my engine bay. But it seems you're on the right path.

Besides the more popular F-Sport Rear Chassis Brace, another particular item that I like recommending is the GT Spec 4-point front tie brace. They're a bit hard to find nowadays but I think some online vendors still have them available if you look around.

Since the 2IS utilizes a double wishbone suspension on the front, a tower bar/strut bar adds very little (if any) impact to chassis rigidity. The available under braces for the 2IS do a better job at serving their intended purpose.

I like how their rear chassis brace uses rectangular tubing, seems like it might be more resistant to flex/torsion than the conventional round tubes of the F-Sport chassis brace.

Ive never personally used them but they don't seem as popular here in the states. I imagine the quality of the parts would be good since they specialize in the ISX50 and dont voyage into a bunch of different makes and models. The parts look like they fit well , nice welds etc. I know folks do run the JUN tower bar in the front here. Maybe they will chime in on fit and finish of their products.
