And i will one day, right now im going function over fashion. once i get everything done that i consider more important, then im sure i can make almost all of my money back for the wheels, and they served a purpose, same reason im just replacing the auto right now, and not doing the manual swap yet, because when i do it, it'll be 6spd. and i have more important things to take care of right now IMO. once i consider the car fully daliyable with all of the functions and amenitys of a 1jz powered high performance sportscar then ill spend more money on making her look worth as much as ive put in it. :P

We are in the process of creating a complete kit as we speak.

The complete kit front and rear really hauls a MKIII Supra down in short order. The brakes feel about 10-15% easier than stock until you get into them over the 80% pedal effort, 0% being no brakes, and 100% being full ABS actuation (Standing on them). They really are a huge improvement in performance not to mention how cool they look.
