Anybody concerned about the effect of the slime on the TPMS? I know it says TPMS compliant but what does that mean? I would like to get the opinion of a tire shop especially since they are $$$ to replace. Also, would the use of this kit (not made for the
SC430) void the warranty on the TPMS sensors if it is used and gums one up?

I understand your point.... from the kit's user's manual on pages 10 & 11. Yellow highlight area added for emphasis. Of course this begs the question; What is meant by "if properly used" ?

Add me in on the group buy! Swapping out the RFTs this summer and that is exactly what I've been looking for and it does look great!

And hopefully we do not ever get to use it, right? That's the plan.

Exactly, and that's why we need it...because if it's there we won't "ever" need to use it, but if we don't have one...that's when it all goes down hill!

We need 5 or more. I already put in a call to Darrell @ Sewell. Do not know what the magic number is. Hope 10 will do.

Heck yeah I'm in. We just need to know that the TPMS is going to be okay even though the kit isn't listed under our cars on the Sewell website.

BTW Sewell missed an item from an order I did a few days ago and Darrell immediately shipped it. Awesome service.

Still on the fence. Sure like it but would like to spend the money for smaller stuff like the metal pedals, tire repair, etc. and have to address suspension issues, too.

But promise you will have them on later. No doubt.
