Absolutely not! He made that significantly harder than it needs to be. You don't even have to remove the wheels, much less the brakes and other components he disassembled. Its literally 2 bolts and a nut, maybe a pry bar to move the LCA down to get the bushing out.

LMAO..... this is so much better...

Trying to debate if I should go to the RCF route or RR Racing. Are there any difference in terms of performance? Worth the 4x cost?

The GSF, RCF bushings will give you nice comfortable ride, just a bit firmer the than stock ones. Poly bushings will give you firm performance oriented feel with increased noise and vibrations.throughout the cabin. They also tend to squeak, need to be re-greased and cost significantly more than GSF RCF.

Can I assume that this is suitable for RWD 2016 IS200t?

Jazzrock

Yes it is.

Thanks for this man! I'd been considering going for RR Racings new LCA bushings that aren't as harsh as the OG's but with the price difference I'll give these a shot first.

How are these OEM ones compared to aftermarket ones like RR Racing and Figs?

Lee350F

From my understanding they're better than stock IS ones and nearly eliminate the tire wear and wandering under harsh conditions while increasing steering feel. Figgs and RR do the same but to a greater extent at the cost of ride comfort and generally higher NVH. Just depends on how much performance you want in exchange for daily drivability/comfort. OEM RC/GS F bushings are the first step away from comfort and towards performance.

Hey guys, would these work on AWD versions as well?

Napalvr

Yes...I have them on my 15 AWD

Factory rubber will be maintenance free and is more inline with factory suspension comfort.

RR-Racing requires lube on install and probably every couple years, Poly could cause noise. These will almost completely eliminate movement of the arm at the bushing, and is best if precise handling is the main concern.

The way I look at it is this, the RCF bushings are a bit stiffer than IS350 version, but have all the same issues in terms of their design. They are still too soft for real performance driving. And our USRS system is the ONLY bushing that eliminates both lateral AND axial movement of the control arm.

Now, if you drive around on 400 treadware tire, switching to RCF bushings will improve tire wear. But if you enjoy pushing your car hard and use high performance tires, you’ll have the same issues as RCF owners have with OEM bushings.

BTW, for the record, we recommend AWD users purchase our softer street durometer bushing as it seems to be better suited to the AWD control arms.

How often does the RR Racing Street Version Ultimate Steering Response System (USRS) for Lexus (Pair) need to be re-lubed over time?
