As a reminder - anyone installing a rubber bonded bushing like this or those found at the shocks bottom, get the car sitting on its own weight before tightening the pinch bolt or you ruin the bushing from over rotation.
What's the Price on the RCF bushings? Should layout the prices and options for fellow IS members looking to eliminate the inner tire wear. Now that it is getting cooler I'm starting to get some more squeaks and rattles in the car. I have some kind of annoying squeak in my drivers door area ever since I installed the Figs bushings but I can live with it. I put 9k miles on the front tires before the Figs and the inner tires were wearing terribly. I put 6k miles on since I installed the Figs and the tires have not worn any more so at least I know it resolved the Dynamic Toe issue.
Ordered from mylparts.com, total shipped was $131 for the pair.
Part numbers: 48075-24010 and 48076-24010
I spent the last hour digging through the RCF forums and I did not come across any threads about inner tire wear on the RCF platform. I had a IS300 for 8 years before my IS350and this was always the number one thing I hated about the car. When I got the 2nd gen I had high hopes that they corrected the problem but I was going through Michelin Pilots in the fronts every 12k miles and was throwing away tires with 50% tread left on the rest of the tire. I was really in a stalemate with buying the RR Racing or the Figs and went with the Figs cause it was $50 less after PA tax and shipping. $131 sounds better on the wallet then $348 that I paid for the Figs. So if the long term use corrects the Dynamic Toe and retains the OEM ride, the RCF bushing looks like the better value.
I'm thankful for all the input regarding NVH and glad I didn't go poly. I hate rattles and squeaks!
Just monitor wear and adjust toe and pressure.
If you can take 3 tape measurements from equal tread areas and not hit the undercarriage, adjust toe at home yourself!
RC-F bushings 48075-24010 and 48076-24010 (0 offset)
Had these on for nearly 2 years, very nice improvement over the factory ones. When I installed them first I could tell they were a bit firmer, but after 2 days I got used to the new feel. Remember driving on roundabouts (we have few of them in my area) and feeling the car being lot tighter on turns and it was going exactly where I intended it to go, without that flaky, mushy, feeling it had prior to the new bushings. Also changing lanes on the highway has improved. So 2 years in, the car still feels very solid, no squeaks and the tires are holding up great with nice and even wear.
Will the RC-F bushing work on a 2015 Lexus IS250 ?
I know it's been beat to death about problems with front end camber issues, but has anyone found an answer to getting more life out of tires for 2014 is350 fsport? Inside wear is terrible. I'm lucky to get 10k miles out of a set. Do poly lca bushings help out with this problem?

yes, basically this thread. It's a common IS problem not just for a specific year. RR Racing's USRS or FIGS LCA bushing are your go-to's although it looks like some members have tried the RCF bushings with good success. RR Racing has a great video under their USRS explaining the whole problem and fix.
