I ordered just the upper tube part of the f-sport intake, and am going to run a stock box and filter. I wanted to keep it quiet and pick up a few hp, and had alot of lexus rewards points to spend.

You read my mind. I pay for all the service and repair work on my Lexus credit card hoping to get a bigger cash back incentive, then use it towards on something I wouldn't buy with my own money. I feel the F-Sport accessories for the most part don't make a significant difference in performance for the cost Lexus is selling them for. Maybe with the exception for the brake upgrade though, but I'm not willing to shell out thousand of dollars just to brake a few seconds sooner when the stock braking system are already efficient enough.

BTW, the sway bars would be the one F-sport part I'd say makes a very significant difference in performance, and they're a whole lot cheaper than the brake kit too.

Your car would stop 0 seconds sooner. Larger brakes don't stop a car any shorter. For normal street driving a big brake kit is 100% for show. (and even the tiny % of folks who track their cars won't see shorter stopping distance, they'll see higher fade resistance)
