get them!!! the save your front tires from uneven tread wear, and i think it helps the steering to. i know it help the car stay more stable when braking. i HIGHLY recommend getting the LCA bushings.

The car feels fine on the track with extremely hard braking. The term slop is a joke. There is nothing sloppy about the ISF under hard braking. I have the uneven tire wear and it is very minor minor. I plan on adding these but its hard to get feedback from owners who actually track their cars since so few are actually doing any real driving . My concern is getting a squeak from the bushing like some have. I can handle tire wear on a sports car. What I cant handle is my flagship performance car sounding like a Chevy pick up when it goes over speed bumps. I know they can be lubed but I dont want the headache. Most of everyone I know with them are happy. I think its worth a shot.

I have them. No more trammeling on rain grooves and surface irregularities, no more following the crown of the road, no more sunroof creaking backing out of the driveway. I can't attest for improved tire wear. I do my own alignments and I can say the after installing the Figs bushings the alignment was changed due to the deflection set that the OEM bushings took on. The Figs centered the pivot point. I don't track my car but I am more than pleased with the improvements I listed for street use. I am pretty confident that if you tracked your F you would notice more braking control and steering feedback.

Im getting the rear unsettled under braking at the track. 2008 stock, muffler delete. In the future hoping a gilken and figs could make this more tunable . I know its not the best way around but its fun to slide into a turn but not off the track.

I guess the extra 20-30mph makes all the difference. For me she is fine. I am willing to try them since they enhance even wear in the front . We will see. I am currently debating an exhaust, need new tires badly, and need new pads according to the dealership. Need to prioritize lol.

That 20-30mph is what does it. I run a two very different tracks, one slower and very demanding on my brakes and the other very fast. 220Kph and the car scares me as I hit my brakes. Lexus ISF at Mosport with BMW Trillium Club September 7th, 2014 - YouTube At 1:02 in the video is the beginning of that straight that leaves the car very unsettled. This is north Americas fastest track. I'm in the process of installing the figs bushing, I will report back after a few laps around the track.

Are you sure about that? There are quite a few super speedways much faster, and Willow Springs big track is a real road course with a lot of speed. LMP cars lap Road Atlanta and hit 202 mph on the back straight with a 1:01 lap time on a 2.54 mile track. Who says Mosport is fastest?
But back to the braking thing - it is most noticeable on an uphill braking section.

Nice, what kind of speeds are you carrying through that road course? To bad it wasn't a split camera view that shows your speed and shift points, I think those videos are cool because you can learn a lot for newbies that want to see how fast you are really going and where to shift etc....
