I'm Addressing the Biggest Problem With My Lexus ISF - USRS Install 

It's worth noting you can actually do this mod on any IS of this era. So IS250 or IS350 are capable of being upgraded as well. And it makes a huge difference, for not much money. rr-racing.com

Just installed these on my IS350! What a world of a difference, one of the best upgrades for the $!

I always felt like the reduce in the electric power steering assist when in sport mode made just enough difference for me with spirited driving.

Adding more front caster might help with feel.

Heard it makes a world of difference.

I have a GSF and you can do this on that as well. Good video! Keep it coming! 👍

Thanks for the video Kurt - Glad you are enjoying the upgrades!

All the questions I had about this were specifically answered in this video. 1) is there better road feel ( I came f/ an audi) 2) How the preload was done. The "Figs" don't require that adjustment it seems. hmm that creates another question for me, I don't know which to get. Thanks for the great vid. -'22 is350

LMAO at the safety glasses remark

Thanks for this video...just installed these right now... On the floor with jack stands... Super easy and awesome mod

This car will become a classic in the next 10 years. I love that the price right now is below $3000 😍😍😍 I am getting one this week

Freaking thank you for posting this I'm about to replace mine. Xforce on mine as well, I'll keep a watch on your progress!

Oh my fucking god!!! A Jordan Grand Prix flag in that garage?! Who is the legend that owns that?! Jordan have me some of my best memories growing up in the late 90s!! Love my isf too 😎😎

Haha I posted a recommendation to you to do this mod when you first bought your ISF and complained about steering. You can also update your steering rack bushings with Figs Engineering bushings ($18), and update your steering ECU to a 2012 (try and find a used one, it will already be calibrated)

Great detailed video, but you left out an important feature . . . the year of your car.

I picked up a rc 350 a few months ago and I have been looking at these bushings. Power without control is nothing so I want to set up the suspension first and then supercharge the car. Great video thank you for torque specs!

Hi, I'm from HK. Thanks for your advice, I'll try to get one of these and try how it feels

The biggest problem that I having with my dad is f is the electronics specifically in the trunk

I wish you go back again to the GT350 😍

Just did my LCAs today! FIGS 90 Durometer haven’t driven on it yet cuz I’m still doing my coilovers but I’m super excited

Nice upgrade, what other mods do you have planned down the road? Any cooling upgrades planned?

The primary benefit is massively reduced tire ware due to toe out during heavy braking.

Show us a wiper blades upgrade 👍

Did you get an alignment after? Heard many people say you will need one that have done it?

I just installed some over the weekend and now I notice rattling sound on speed bumps like my shocks are bad.....did you experience any of that? I used lub like in your video.

On the GS AWD it slides right out. A tire is harder to change :lol:

Thx you it’s helpful

Any idea if this could help with tear wear?

5:25 😂🤣

Wondering if you’re gonna fix the valley plate leak (if it’s not done already) lol

What happens if the pre loads aren’t tight enough and the feeler gauge still goes through?

The ISF needs some tuning to improve low end grunt. Especially since it has no launch control, getting outta the hole is slow.

I prefer figs, they have great reputation and long time in business. Heard some negative things about rr bushings, but rr said it was with one batch...idk i got figs bushings for long time, they are great. And you get grease in the package 😂

If m3 so good in communication why so many of them are crashed by loosing control and isf is not?

Nice car

Let's goooo baby

What tyres are in front? Perhaps changing them might help to get more feel?

My gs Awd now feels like rubber bands are holding the control arms. The bushings are all cracked :lol:

Keep it up

You need the 2013-2014 steering ECU.

super easy barely an inconvenience

Yes, zoom in .

how many miles does she have?

Not sure if you ready answered it, did you have to do an aligment?

Not sure what year your ISF is but the USRS on my 2011 made zero improvement in steering feel or turn-in response. It did noticeably increase harshness over pavement cracks, expansion joints, etc. Could be that pre 2011 models benefited from this mod but Lexus made major upgrades to the suspension in 2011 so it may not be of any benefit on a 2011+. Could also be that if your original LCA bushing was shot, then replacing it with OEM might have also made a big improvement for you. Also, the USRS did not help my F with the infamous inner tire wear in the front. After only 12k miles, the Michelin PS4S are shaved down to nothing on the inside, and I don't even track the car.

Where do you get the bushings from?

Is it normal to have check engine light on after going fbo?

Right here....or just here🤔

oh no i just spent 350dollars for labor in new Zealand just put it on my rcf

Aussie IS F owners have been replacing them with RC F bushings.

Kurt. Let me know when you're ready to sell your Lexus IS F

Sell me your isf

It’s a Lexus which is a problem you cannot resolve!
