I've read through all the pages and I'm thinking of making the purchase but want to hear if this would be suitable for daily driving detail? I get some of the nvh stuff but seeing if it makes sense as I rarely track my car. Thanks for the input.

I plan to purchase these and my reason is to solve the inner tire wear issue.

Honestly, I will tell you that we have sold a ton of these... and not one person has told us they have any regrets about installing them, and specifically as it concerns NVH.

No doubt you will be happy with the improvement. Yes, even on a DD.

I can't believe Chuck Norris is worried about a few bumps in the road!

In all seriousness, I have the FIGS version & any additional NVH that may have resulted from them isn't really noticeable. I totally recommend this kind of upgrade to the IS-F.

Just installed mine this morning, it's completely suitable for a DD. As a matter of fact, it CURED a buzzing under the dash that was driving me crazy!

All I can do is echo what everyone else has said. Turn in is much sharper, braking is much more linear. It got rid of the brake mushiness, especially if you dive deep into the brakes. It's a must do.

I have had no issues with NVH at all. Like I have said in the pat the change in feel is like adding 3 -4 psi to your tires. Extremely subtle change and you will adapt to it in a day or two and you will never be able to tell the difference

I have no complaints after having these installed and driving back home for 160 miles. good for daily driving and better steering response...

Just echoing everyone else so far, really liking the improvements from these.

Great under braking, more controlled, virtually no noise I can hear anyway.

Another quality product from Rafi and the team.
