  Beam coupling impedance mitigation is key in preventing intensity limitations due to beam stability issues, heating and sparking. In this framework, a very good example is the optimization of the SPS kickers beam-coupling impedance for beam-induced heating mitigation. After the optimization of the SPS extraction kickers, the SPS injection kickers became the next bottleneck for high intensity operation. This system is composed of three MKP-S tanks and one MKP-L. To accommodate LIU beam intensities, it was necessary to mitigate the beam induced heating of the MKP-L, using a shielding concept briefly reviewed in this paper. Moreover, temperature data from the 2023 run are analyzed to qualify the accuracy of the models and assess the effectiveness of the impedance mitigation. Finally, the expected limitations from the MKP-S, expected to become the new bottleneck in terms of beam induced heating, are discussed.
