Prices are cheap! How long is shipping these days?
Are those the correct part numbers for rcf/gsf bushing upgrade? They will be going on my gs460 which i have found to be a good oem upgrade.

For me I ordered something recently and it was about 3 weeks from the UAE warehouse. They also ship from a Japan warehouse...depends on the item.
And yes those are the correct part numbers.

I apologize if this has been answered already, but would it be best to purchase the LCA bushing that RR Racing designed? Whats the cost of the lexus bushings vs RR Racing. Thanks in advance fellas.

The RR Racing bushings are about 4 times the price of the RCF bushings.

The FIGS version might be a nice compromise on price and performance...but the RCF bushings were enough for me.

They are not 4 times the performance, but when I installed the RCF ones I can immediately feel the difference in the steering and NVH...given that the RR Racing are that much stiffer, I'm not sure I could tolerate then being that good.

1. Body roll on cornering almost eliminated, if not gone.
2. Car wandering on the highway 100% gone - don't need to always correct the steering wheel to make the car drive straight.
3. Braking/sudden braking - the car just stays on a straight line and unlike before it steers (left or right).
4. Car seems to just stay on wherever I turn the steering wheel to, unlike before that it always feels it needs a wheel alignment.
5. Premature tire wear? - I don't think it exists on RC models(didn't actually buy this bushings for that reason)
Other comments about NVH and squeaks that most people are experiencing - I don't know what they're talking about. They must have installed the bushings incorrectly. Also had this on my previous IS and never experienced that.
It's been 3 weeks and we'll see when it gets really cold. Still waiting for that common squeak that everyone is talking about.
***If you're not experiencing all I've mentioned above, then no reason to buy the RR Racing bushings***

Depends on really what you are trying to accomplish. The RCF/GSF bushings will only eliminate the common premature inner tire wear.

Hmm, depends on how you drive. The RCF/GSF bushings have not completely eliminated my front inner wear, but I got about two years and 50,000km out of the Bridgestone RE980AS that came with my car, can't complain too much. My rears are totally trashed though, down to the wear bars and they have a lot of inner wear also. Perfect timing that I swapped my winter wheels on a few weeks ago.
I ended up selling my RR Bushings and switched to RCF/GSF bushings.
