Give or take $800 depending on what you choose. You don't have use identical parts from the Gixxer setup.

Yea, you could use Hypercoil or Swift springs (or others if you must). You could put in off-the-shelf Bilstein HD dampers for the Supra and have a great street or street/track setup, or have them revalved for very low cost (a revalve is something like $64 a piece IIRC --> extremely cost effective) and have an extremely capable track setup. You could use Koni's as well, etc. It's very easy to do on top of that. That setup alone disproves the cost is everything theorem.

The Megans should fit your needs then. If you're going racing (circuit tracking?), chance are you're probably not concerned with getting the absolute best time, unless there is a big cash prize somewhere

If you aren't on a track they are good. Even if you are on a track they are good. Just get them, and I promise you wont be upset.

Does anyone have any pics of these installed? Will they still be able to go as low as the lp? Just looking to get a good stance with my TT wheels.
