direct feel from steering and firm. I think those might be squeaking after months as they are not rubber.

Sounds like it firms everything up & improves braking & tyre wear somewhat. There is some poly lube included so shouldn't squeak if applied properly yeah?

I think the lube is mainly for installation purposes.

Anything not rubber will end up squeaking I believe.

I do want a set for my car as well though, slight squeaking for some handling improvements are worth it I believe.

got it installed. First impressions:

- front end now handles like a gokart

- can more confidently throw the car into corners

- grip seem to have increased by noticeable amount

- big squeaks initially but after 5 minutes of driving completely silent.

-  feel more in contact with tires/road better steering feedback.

Overall I feel if the noise will not be an issue this will live up to it's hype, it could really be some of cheapest upgrades that offer significant performance gains.

I hope this helps. Will report back periodically on how it feels.

So far I am happy with this product. Little bit of noise but not a deal breaker by any means.

As promised I am reporting back on these after some long (ish) term testing. Still happy there is minimal noise and great handling.

Getting mine installed today with my coils and a wheel alignment. Apparently a wheels alignment and toe adjustment is something that needs done as the bushings make obvious any previous imperfections the car might have had.

Yeah i was definitely going to get that done at the same time!

The ISF has a horrible tendency to chew out the inside of the tyres, resulting in having to replace the tyres far earlier than necessary. From all reports, these make that issue disappear. So if you keep the car for a few tyre changes, then the mod pays for itself.

Hey Sparky ever owned a ss or clubby with lowered springs same thing.  Good by inner edge even with a GOOD wheel alignment, the price you pay cheers.

Yeah Ive had a VX SS and a VZ Maloo, great cars, awesome bang for your buck i reckon..

I still think the VF GTS is a crazy bargain, can get a low KM car now for low - mid $60. Thats a 2013-2014 bloody 430kw (standard) monster for that money?! Crazy..

The ISF is miles ahead in refinement and image, but there is a big part of me (BIG!!) that would love to trade the ISF for one of them.

Awesome cars.

Track test done. Definitely better front end during turn in and noticeably more stable under high speed heavy braking.

      LS460 Folding Mirror Doesn't Stop.

      Hi. The driver's mirror on my RHD LS460 folds in and out okay, but when folding in, it gets to the stop position but keeps trying to go further, so it continuously clicks. Is this repairable, or will the mirror have to be replaced? Has anybody fixed this problem? If so, how? Cheers.

      Carplay issues with iPhone IOS 18.1 making & receiving calls

      Just wondering if anyone else has recently encountered the following issue: I have two phones now running with IOS 18.1, an iPhone SE and iPhone 16 and they both are having the same problem, i.e. when making a phone call, the party I'm calling can just barely make out what it is I'm saying. I first encountered the problem with my iPhone 16 and at first thought it was the cable connecting to the USB-C on the phone. I went out and purchased a wireless CarPlay adapter which circumvented the problem. However today I needed to connect the iPhone SE and it too got the same problem in that when making a phone call, the person I'm calling can just barely make out what it is I'm saying. Checking sites in the USA it appears to be a common problem. UPDATE: The problem did not exist using IOS versions prior to IOS 18

      Driving Light

      Hi Peter, After taking onboard your suggestions and a few good nights sleep to mull over options the new driving lights are installed and working. No holes were drilled into vehicle but I did cut a small slot into back of the larger plastic fuse box cover/lid to source power from jump start terminal. (12v battery is in boot of NX 450h+) The wiring was a little fiddly but not having to take the dash apart was a huge bonus to installing the XBB kit. Was able to ‘reuse’ relay base from wiring harness supplied with Ultra Vision lights. Fitted a 20 amp inline fuse as lights draw 13.2 amps total. Smart button works a treat so can have high beam on without driving lights. So glad that I found this forum when I did, Neil
