Mostly maintenance for me. Supra lower control arms, new tranny & engine mounts. New bushings all around. Possibly TRD springs and KYB shocks to drop her a bit as well. Stockpiling parts as we speak.

Definitely looking at suspension and braking, but before braking means I need to put on bigger wheels... decisions decisions!

How often do you got to Manheim? My boss gets up there every month or so to buy new cars and sell others. I might run into you sometime; he wants me to start buying/selling.
