Manaray-I know that the bushing were all replaced, as far as the engine mounts I can't remember for sure but I believe those were also done. As far as emissions, I have had zero problems here in WI, but that is WI and not CA, I know stuff is more strict there. Ideal I was hoping to get close to $25k, and at that price I have had a bunch of people interested but so far no one has followed through. Ican't price it without those things, because it would just be a whole lot easier for me to not have to swap things out, if you think I could get more money selling on here, by all means give it a try. Besides the fatc that I don't have half ofthe stock parts to go back and replace the aftermarket stuff with, so sorry about that.

Manaray,

Like a said in the post I know you mean well! I had a friend named Henry Matsuki, that had a JDM spec'd MX-6 back when I was with the fast and furious crowd. He used to sound just like you!! If you would even MENTION a mod, that he did not approve of, he would come down on you like the hand of God!! "Ohmigod D, dont get no (insert common brand here), you should get the JDM this that and the third!" Unlike Jmai, I dont think you were talking crap in THIS thread (in others......I'm not so sure), you are just a very opinionated person, and many of those opinions obviously come from experience, so I take the words with a grain of salt.

Anyway, I was not aware that H&R carried springs for my car. If so, please list the specs and what struts I should match them with. BTW, if anyone wants to sell a used set of JICs for the 1st Gen, please let me know!! The price brand new is VERY attractive!! I always thought coilovers for our cars retailed in the 2-2700 range!

Just try to remeber man, this site provides a wealth of information to DIFFERENT people with DIFFERENT tastes!!

Unfortunately, H&R does not have a spring application for either the first-gen GS or the SC300/400.
It's too bad, because I believe H&R makes the best combination of drop and ride quality for most cars.

For the SC, you could use the H&R Gen 4 Supra coilover, but the H&R guys don't recommend it.

Default nope

No, we tried the Intrax springs briefly against the advice of manaray and a few other guys here. The intrax didn't lower the car significantly more than the Eibachs and the ride quality was too stiff for my taste, so the Eibachs are back in now.
