Picked up an ISF on the weekend that has the RR racing USRS kit fitted. Stock wheels and tyres. What tyre pressures do people recommend running it at? This is my second ISF, been a few years since I last drove one and I’ve not had the chance to go for a proper hoon in it yet.

My RR's were not noisy, but they were more "harsh" over small road imperfections. The Figs bushings seemed to provide just as much stiffening (almost as much?) as the RR's but the ride comfort was noticeably improved over freeway expansion joints and those types of small bumps. No question, I preferred the Figs.

Isn't the FIGS non track version using slightly lower durometer? I have the RR Racing ones installed but haven't tested it out yet on the street. I remember reading between the two brands that three of their products had like three different durometer bushings (all depending on what the owner was trying to achieve). Could that be a reason why you say the FIGS felt more comfortable?

I had the 90s for a long time with the front bushing as well. I never really noticed a significant difference in NVH, but definitely noticed a big difference in stability under braking from triple digit speeds on the track. The solid ones are significantly increased road noise, but they really get the front planted and the steering consistent.

I have RRs and noticed no difference in NVH or harshness. Maybe I’m just numb. I installed them at the same time that I removed some swift springs, so maybe that affected in perception.

I have the RR Racing solution and while there is 100% a noticeable increase in vibration/feel through the steering wheel it is VERY minimal and doesn't at all bother me. I actually prefer it to the stock feel because I can feel more of what the tires/suspension are doing and experiencing. After putting them on the stock ones seem overly muted to me and I would not want to go back. The car feels more like a sports car and less like a luxury boat with these on. I guess I could see this being a negative for some people but in my eyes you don't really want a sports car if that's the case.
As others have said though the biggest in my eyes is stability under hard braking. It feels so much more planted now. Overall a worthwhile upgrade IMO.
