Default Ordering some stuff from Sewell. What else?

Initially, I only wanted 8 new 0-ring assemblies for the two sets of TPMS sensors I have. But as it turns out, shipping to my address is more than the cost of the o-rings

To make the most of shipping, I was thinking about ordering some other stuff that I might need in the near future. Thinking about adding the F-Sport sway bar set, but I haven't looked into anything besides that.

My car currently has about 65,000kms (just over 40k miles) and it's an 08. I thought about the door cup LED mod, but that's not really a necessity. I'm also going to install a set of coilovers, are there any OEM bushings or bolts prone to breaking that I should throw in the cart?

Hmmm maybe I'll try going through my local dealership.. not likely to get a better price, but its worth a shot I think.

I'll def get the steering damper, touch-up paint, and the extra oil filters. Maybe a cabin filter or two as well.

Thanks guys

How about a sun visor, new floor mats, 60K mile service kit. Depending on the color of your car they have the gfx sides for $60.

Yeah I thought about getting stuff for the 60k service, but that's still 2 years worth of driving away. I can probably hold off on that for now.

A spare door lock cylinder cover, spare key fob batteries, discontinued GFX parts, wiper blades. I wish on my last purchase with them I had remembered the Toyota A/C refresh kit. My wife hates the smell upon start-up...I just deal with it.

Oh right, batteries and wiper blades! I get the "Key Low Battery" every now and then when I turn off my car, but it's been doing that for over a month now.

Wait, why is everybody recommending the purchase of the steering damper? Is this is service item, or a common failure on the IS?

It supposedly reduces vibrations and gives the wheel a heavier feel. Just an add on item

Yep exactly. Definitely something nice to have, especially if you're lowered or have low profile tires.
