Don't go with a set if cheap-o wheels! You could face all kinds of problems and most important put yourself and others in danger. I am sure your not looking into eBay wheels per say but just throwing that out there. Get a good quality wheel that you know you can trust.
What type of driving do you plan on doing with your car? Some of those mods will serve you no purpose but just look cool installed depending on your intended use of the car.

The sways and strut bars IMO would be a waste of money then. I/H/E are the only things for the F that will yield more power. Nothing else really on the market in the US.
The springs will make for a harder ride but look good...a nice set of coilovers with both hieght and damper adjustment would be a better choice. But based off of your response the stock suspension will be more fine.
You could also do interior and exterior items like a diffuser, lip, CF interior accents to match the OEM silver.

IMHO, the rear sway bar (the F-Sport), is a positive and inexpensive upgrade for the ISF.

Dont forget your NAWS LOL! But seriously though, it could be on the list of things to buy if you are not satisfied with the power of an I/H/E...
Just squeeze safely or else:

Congrat on the new car. Your performance mod is superb already. There is one thing I must warn you, keep in check with VIP auto salon as they have fairly bad reps. I had a bad experience with them too.

I was stating that it would be a waste of money based on his response. The OP just wants to mod the car for more speed and doesn't seem to have any intention of tracking or going to any type of auto-x tracks and so forth. So why install those parts if your just going to drive to work and do a little spirited driving on the interestate? IMO it's just a waste of money but its not my car so feel free to mod away and enjoy!

With the correct spring rates a rear sway bar is not a game changer, even on the stiffest settings. For an 08 if you get some properly sprung coilovers and your ride and handling will both improve. If you attack the suspension it will yield a practically faster car as you will be able to go as fast as you want in the corners (not just the straights.) You can add HP all you want but if you can't put it to the ground its pretty worthless. Stable power comes from a balanced suspension and you will feel more comfortable with the power knowing its not going to send your tail into a frenzy.
