Thumbs up my $135 dollar suspension
$35 shipped take-off intrax supra springs, stock lexus front struts, and $100 for the set brand new koni yellow "sport" rear mkIV supra struts. Got the springs off supra forums, and struts locally from a famous supra store/shop worker.

with shanes DR's, probably 13.8 13.9.. theres still a little tricks up my sleve i havnt done yet to the motor (still stock mind you). All my runs at the track have been purely testing the motor, practicing manual shifting, etc. You really think i plan to run anything fast with bald rock hard pilot sports in 255 width (open diff)?

They are real intrax, just pre-broken in (used). They are stiffer then ****. Now that the car has had a day to settle, both front and rear wheels actually tuck in the fenders.

Hmmmmm. I guess whoever told me the Intrax were soft was a moron
So, you end up with a solid, firm ride?? Just looking for info as I whittle down my decision on what springs/struts to get.

its a very stiff firm ride.. On one of the lexus FAQ site, it lists the spring rates of all sorts of springs, intrax are some of the stiffest on the market
