But, I only paid $600 for the car and have a fair amount more work to do, esp with the trans (Autmatic that needs to be manually shifted...) Thanks for the info on the Konis. A lot of Supra owners rave about them. And the stock springs are already non-linear from the factory! ;) The Konis and the Bilsteins are similar in price. It ha come down between these two unless I get a real good deal on Tokicos...
