It doesn't feel right though - doing a major service without changing the fuel filter. I hate how the fuel filter on these cars are hidden within the tank, as part of the fuel sender unit.

Honda went the same direction in the late 90s/2000s, such a bastard to change.
You buy the lower assembly which is the filter, and you change over the fuel pump and reg, change o-rings, connectors at the same time etc.
I hated assisting on that job, especially in DC5 Integra's, you had to be Asian or a 5 foot midget to be able to do it easily.

The guys that fitted my SL springs said it didn't need a camber kit but i think it does myself :(

I did a camber kit in the rear with mine when I lowered it, no noticeable inside wear yet and thats about 30,000km on these tyres.
I had a quick look at my rear pads today, looks to be around 50% on the rears with 51,000km on the clock.
