Figs FLCA #2 bushings installed!
Happy Labor Day CL!
A few weeks ago I had my OEM FLCA bushings updated to the Figs SuperPro #2 bushings at KoruWorks here in Atlanta. I originally had this done to correct the toe in that had occured when lowering my car, as my car is lowered to a no-gap stance on BC coilovers. I was hoping as well to feel a difference once these bushings were installed and I am not disappointed. My F is my daily driver and up to this point has seen no track time. Until these bushings were installed I didn't fully realize how "soft" and unpredictable the front of my car handled since setting my ride height. The car now feels more "solid", more responsive, and more predictable.
Just this weekend, I had SPC adjustable ball joints installed at Gran Turismo East. Along with the installation, Gabe gave my F a killer alignment. Now this beast is set up just right!

Thanks for the review guys. Our progressive loading design is intended to add control and stability in extreme situations. We tend to embrace proper compliance as a useful tool to inspire driver confidence and sometimes can maintain more grip than the purely rigid solution that we provide for full-on racecars. It certainly makes you appreciate the parts of the F that Lexus themselves were afraid to unleash. Have fun

I had these installed a few weeks ago - although I thought the change was subtle at first, the more I drive it the more solid and buttoned down the front end feels. I noticed the most significant improvement in braking..the pedal feels firmer to me and more direct.
