Looks good. For coilovers if you're looking for as soft of a ride as possible, go with the H&R Supra coilovers. Their spring rates are:

Front: 9.2 kg/mm / 515 lbs/in, Rear: 5.1 kg/mm / 285 lbs/in.

Stiffer than stock, but softer than 99% of the coilovers out there, and are under $1k. The only ones I know of that are softer (barely so) are the SC300 K&W, but they come with almost a $2k price tag.

Good luck with it!!

Glad to help. If you want more information on them, check out the Gixxer_Drew Suspension thread:
http://www.supraforums.com/forum/sho...spension+setup
The H&R's are basically the same as his setup (H&R's come with Bilstein shocks). H&R's are what I'd go with if I had the money.

Instead I'm going to go the more budget route with stock supra springs and Bilstein shocks.
