I believe there's a write up for the standalone fogs. At least there was for the 1st gen.

Steering damper is like a counter weight that you install into the steering wheel to make it feel tighter/stiffer.
The stock IS250/350 steering wheel feels "loose" to some people.

It's basically just a metal piece of dead weight that sits inside the steering wheel, giving it a heavier feel.

Delete your resonator. It only cost me 60$ and it gives it a different but nice sound to your exhaust!
