Thanks for the advice, ill prolly go with some coilovers they have here at a local shop, they are all about hooking people up with good stuff.....
AS far as the GS400 diff goes, how does that work? is it a direct replacement? or what???? Let me know the details. I dont like the clunky 2 ways either....they are noisy as hell and people say "its normal" haha sorry, i hate it
About the r154, i can get it yes but the problem is shipping, i dont have my car here in japan im only deployed here, so i would need to ship it....
Now with the maxxis traction rods, any certain type or model???
i appreciate the advice, thanks alot, all good info!!

GS400 diff is made for a V8 5 speed auto transmission. It is stronger and can hold the power of a single turbo SC300 making ~420whp. It is a direct replacement. I have one for sale if you want. It is not a LSD, and is HARD to DD. It is welded. Its very very very annoying to drive on, but when it comes to sliding, there is NOTHING better IMO. I LOVE sliding with it. I wouldnt choose anything else to slide with to be honest.
I answered the R154 in another post
Traction rods, I honestly dont know...haha they were an ebay special. Same with rear subframe bushings.
Not a problem on the info. let me know if you need anything!
