Yes, I paid $1600 for engine and tranny. Be thoro in looking and make sure you get actually pics and compresion testing results b4 u purchase and that they have at least a 3 month start up guarantee.

That engine looks good and he is a knowledgeable seller with much experience. I personnaly dont like the vvti but if u dont have huge hp needs than it can work out for you.

i believe they are +30 but they will not clear bbk or supra bk kit...u need to get the offsets for the supra tt if you want them to fit correctly without using spacers

the only offsets available according to TSW's site are 20 and 40. they recommend 40. and the way u had it. i assume u had the staggard look. so based on my rather non expert knowledge. im gonna guess u had 40 upfront and 20 in the rear offsets.

Hmmm.... I guess i gotta double check but i will have to say that they must be 40mm all around. They are staggared tho also. If you dont plan on getting a bigger brake kit then this set up is fine, but if you are then u need to let them know that its for the supra tt in order to clear without spacers.

i was thinking of doing the LS400 98 big brake swap. but if it keeps me from getting those TSW Snettertons. i can deal with the lousy stock brakes.
