- RR-Racing eliminates the 3rd axis of movement (push and pull), which basically eliminates any toe change from the bushing under just about any condition. (This axis was part of the Lexus design, from an engineering standpoint, I'm not sure the effects of eliminating it).
- Just how stiff is needed to prevent the tire issue? Not sure. But no one with an RCF seems to have the problem.

Depends what you’re going for. If you want your steering to be ultra stiff and more vibration/noise then the RR Racing, a little less is the Figs (these two you may have to grease up periodically). RCF/GSF bushings are actual Toyota parts so technically OEM just a bit stiffer than the IS ones.

That's up to you, your budget, and your end-goal.
I can tell you that the $80 that I spent on the RCF bushings was the best $80 I've spent on this car.
I just looked at my inner tire wear after about 3500 miles post-swap, and I didn't notice abnormal wear on the inner side.
