I just got my coilovers a few days ago. Great investment. It's not from a highly sought after company, but they do what I need them to do.

I could hook u up with the seller, just let me know if you want more info.

Dont know about the Supra setup, but I just got new Megans for $899 shipped to my door from Tyler from Underground Motorsports, if you're interested you can contact him at 850-621-6942. He is a very cool guy & has the best price in the country for the to-your-door total.

I had megans on my first gen and they worked beautifully. I now have a 98 and threw on some D2 coils and let me tell you, they are very underrated. They ride very nice and so far i've had no problems.

That's actually not that bad of a price. I'm not a fan of the service from MR directly. I have talked to UM and they are a good bunch of guys.

Regarding the pricing, that's very low end of the spectrum for coilovers. I HOPE i don't see 650$ coilover systems. God only knows what those will be like...hope we never find out.

How do the Megans feel on the LS400? I had them on my 89 Supra and they were way too stiff at 18/14 spring rates.

thats about right spring rates in these heavy cars, as long as your not loading them on lowering it should ride comfortably. my friends GS is running on megans and im amazed on how that car feels. if anything, i know you can get lower spring rates from SWIFT... maybe 14-12? just dont know how much they cost.
