The springs are made for Supra which is 3400 lbs. They will sag. The Koni suspension with Daizen control arm bushings will make the ride very hard. I know because I have something simmilar and it is not a combination.
Your ride quality will go down the tube. Even a streight road will be bumpy.

if maintenence is right I would do two things and call it quits for a while...
1) Coilovers
2) Proper fitting wheels (wide with low offsets...)
You can transform a car with only those two mods into something that will make people stare in awe!

i think this what you should do personally. I think start with the tein type ra coilover kit you'll love the coilovers. then start by doin the brakes. and to end it all the supra rims with pirelli assimetricos. those tires are my choice. the reason the coilovers is for adjustability and coilovers tend to ride well. the daizen products are good choices but i think you can hold off on those produst for a bit. and make sure whatever mod you do. do it right the first time like the suspension. dont waste your money on a shock and spring kit if you think your goin to change it later.

Brakes, suspenssion, and wider wheels should be done prior to getting more horsepower.
