Default swapping my 1uz

I want to convert to manual gearbox now, but can not quite decide is which conversion kit to buy. quantom auto, toyotav8.com or some ebay stuff that is cheaper and free shipping to Norway. someone does not release bearing and some are not supplied with the clutch.

take a look at this swapkit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1uz-1uzfe-toyota-Bellhousing-W58-W55-W56-W57-G52-gearbox-Free-ship-/281115676797?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4173ccd07d&vxp=mtr
heeelp!

w58 from mk4 supra, pedals and interior trim is ok!

I bought the clutch pedal, brake pedal, master cylinder, all brackets, gear **** and gear boot with center console from a SC300 manual on ebay. $ 360 including shipping!

look at the ebay kit I linked to, there are just too cheap to be good? made in Thailand too ...
anyone can recommend toyotav8.com swap kit?
