I guess you already have a 180° genuine Lexus thermostat.. Should be good for 100k miles or more... 
Same reason for your Brake Rotors., but its a bit more visible... 
They only made Front & Rear Rotors... one Part# for front and one Part# for rear.
Instead of making Left Front, Right Front, Left Rear & Right Rear, with corresponding drilled holes & direction..

I guess it reduces their direct assembly cost since there are fewer parts to assemble, but someone (the parts supplier) has to make the assembly.
Like you, as an end user who might keep this vehicle for 8-10 years I do not like the idea of having to buy a complete hub just because a wheel bearing needs replacing.

I'm surprised that they have R and L rims. LOL. Heck, they should've went 19x9 all around and 265s all around - maybe there would be less understeering for all the magazines to rag about then. Then they'd have 1 part for rims and 1 part for tires and even the spare could be the same size. That would've been kinda nice actually.
BTW, when do you think you might find yourself at the 1/4 mile track? I haven't seen any new 1/4 miles numbers since last fall. It seems like IS-F owners aren't really into drag racing or something.
