Thanks for the info and comment about the chain wear pads. Any suggestion for sturdier replacements?

It's a relatively low mileage 2002 base model (about 56.5K miles), so I figured since I'd be taking it to a shop for the IMS replacement / retrofit, I might as well get the other items looked at.

There's a few other small things that need to get done (CV boots are in good condition but will need replacing in a couple years, replace convertible top with a glass rear) and I want to get the underbody linings replaced, but those 2 items were what the mechanic mentioned he would do if it was his car.
