RR-Racing USRS or FIGS LCA bushing

Yes or you can also try the GSF/RCF bushings, a few of us have done that instead it’s cheaper and OEM and they aren’t as stiff as poly.

Will replacing OEM LCA bushings affect the warranty at all? I just bought a 2016 IS350 F Sport and am very interested in making this upgrade. The dealer put new Goodyear Eagle Sport tires on her and I don't want to replace them in 20k miles, but not if it voids the warranty.

SuperPro makes the bushings that FIGS sells. I bought a set of 90 durometer bushings and had them pressed into the OEM housings (unlike FIGS, they don't sell them installed in housings). I find they have a lot less NVH then the RR Racing bushings (which I ran for over a year before selling), cost a LOT less, and still correct the inner tire wear problem. Couldn't be happier!

Does anyone know if you have to re-grease the RR Racing LCA bushings after awhile of use? From there video someone said that the FIGS LCA bushings had to be re-greased because after awhile of use, it got really squeaky. If anyone with knowledge about this can let me know. Thank you.

Make sure to only use super grease for poly bushings. It is white-ish clear. Do not use the grey grease.

how often do you think you would have to regrease? also which brand would you recommend for the grease

The part number is SPF3491-90K. They are $150 USD with shipping from Australia on eBay right now. I've had them on the car for almost a year now and have only heard a squeak once at the start of winter and never since. It took a shop one half-hour to press out the old bushings and press in the SuperPro ones. They are incredible!

I finally pressed my Superpro LCA 90d LCA busings in. Didn't notice any new NVH, honestly probably wouldn't notice anything had somebody replaced the bushing without you knowing. My car no longer makes this thud/squeal/hum when braking to a complete stop (less deflection white braking with the stiffer LCA bushing). Does seem a little more precise and more sensitive to steering input, though I did this mainly to save my new set of tires from uneven wear. This is my daily driver and no complaints from me, would do 100% again. Superpro FTW.
BTW as far as the LCA bushing goes, Figs = Superpro.
