Had these installed at the dealership during some other minor service. $260 total. Service advisor commented on the quality of the part. Changed the front tires at the same time which were destroyed on the inside edge. Along with toe closer to zero, we'll see how they wear.

Was this part in anyway upgraded for the 2013 ISF's?
Just wondering if it's applicable to my car

From what I have seen there has only been one series upgrade on this part number as Lobux had mentioned. So this is still applicable to the 2013 as far as I know.

No. A press is mandatory. I tried getting the old bushings out using the oven, but they're pressed in very tightly. Even at 300F, the bushings with their steel collars were very tightly held by the aluminum bracket.

Sell, sell, sell? I don't think so. I sell for a living. This isn't selling at all.

Recently I had a customer who has been hitting the track heavily and running aggressive brake pads. He had a severe shudder under braking from 140 down to 80mph and had contacted the brake pad manufacturer. After speaking with him on the phone I suggest this bushing as a potential remedy. On the next track day he reported the issue was gone and he could now apply full braking force without the fear of running off track. Obviously all we have is feedback from numerous customers to supplement our own testing.

I noticed the inside edges of my front tires are wearing as if my car is lowered. I'm assuming this bushing will help the life of my front tires... but I also plan on lowering the car on swift springs. Am I better off waiting and just installing a camber kit in front once the lowering springs are put on?

Props to figs on promptness and finally finding a solution for this long term problem. Ordered sunday night, got tracking number monday afternoon. I have the bracket out and OMW to a friend's house with a shop press.
Install is pretty easy. You just definitely need access to a shop press as suggested. If u can change your own oil you can probably do this too... FYI on bolt sizes 14 (2 bolts), 17 (1 bolt), and 22 (2 bolts) mm bolts are needed to be removed. And a tip on "deflecting" the suspension in order to slide out the bushing/bracket - I used my stock lug nut remover handle to "deflect" the LCA down by placing the handle on top of the LCA between the body/frame and pushed up through the wheel well to act as a lever to push the LCA down to get enough clearance to push the bushing/bracket out... took me a while to figure this out...
Can't wait to put everything back together with the new bushings...
