If I remember correctly, a legacy I commuted on when I was based in LGA had issues with FOQA on the ILS 4. After analyzing the data, I guess they ended up changing the approach as a specific part of it called for excessive descent rates in a particular segment of the procedure, which was leading to unstable approaches, high touchdown speeds/floating.
