Default RR Racing & FIGS LCA Bushing

Are both the RR Racing USRS and http://www.shopfigs.com/v3/index.php...product_id=138 the same?

FIGS is almost half the price now. Is it worth to even get the RR Racing?

They are different products that provide similar performance and results. Comparing apples to apples the FIGS are not half the price. The FIGS bushings are (and always have been) significantly cheaper if you buy ONLY the bushings. If you buy just the bushings you will then have to remove the old bushings from your brackets and press in the new bushings. Unless you have the tools to do that yourself it is going to add to the overall cost.

Here is the item I am comparing with: https://www.rr-racing.com/Lexus-Lowe...isfxlca001.htm
If I am just getting what is in the link in both, wouldn't it be the same exact process? I plan on replacing while doing a lot of work at the same time.

What else would I need beside the bushings?

Getting the RR Racing USRS comes with the bushing AND housing so you can remove the old bushing and housing as one unit and replace it with this unit instead. With the FIGS you'll have to remove the old housing + bushing unit, press out the old bushing out of the housing and press in the new bushing.

With that from RR you need nothing else. You need to compare that to this kit: http://shopfigs.com/v3/by-vehicle/IS...91K-90-IN-BRKT from FIGS.

Awesome that's exactly what I needed to know. It seemed odd because I remember seeing FIGS for same price in the past.

Any other maintenance upgrades with suspension you recommend while doing coilovers & RR Racing USRS? Car has 110k on it, 2006 Lexus IS350 - bone stock except BBS LM 18x8 & 18x9.

Get the new steering rack polyurethane bushings. It will enhance the steering feel some more. For $40 it's a great improvement.

Alll I know is, if you go full FIGS, you will be astonished how transformed the driving feel is, and how insane the performance gains are in terms of handling/grip/speed.

I would go FIGS if you have the slightest idea there might be another future FIGS part upgrade down the line.

As for RR, I can't say but at least on paper it should be better than FIGS for that particular part but then again, FIGS has the golden standard reputation for suspension performance for Lexus in the after market world, I only heard of RR within the last year. Good luck with whatever you do and please do share your experiences / feedback / opinions

Front and rear F-Sport sway bars. Fantastic modification for cheap that really locks the suspension together.

Here's a little illustration on what our USRS does compared to a conventional bushing upgrade.... we have hundreds upon hundreds of satisfied USRS customers, and we have been selling them for 2 years.
