The floating calipers would probably be fine unless the car is going to see some serious track time. Upgrading to an aftermarket front caliper and rotor kit like the AP Racing Sprint is going to perform better and cost less in consumables than the 3.0 Supra Brembos.
The passive dampers on the 2.0 Supra are going to be easier to replace with aftermarket dampers. Passive aftermarket dampers will cost less and there would be no need to bypass an electronic damper system with special modules or tuning. Damper and spring upgrade would only be necessary for autox/track tires.
I guess my ideal A90 would be the base 2.0 Supra equipment with the 3.0 engine. It would fill in the Supra line up nicely between the 2.0 and 3.0. Take $3000 off the price of the base 3.0.
Give me the 6 cylinder engine, passive dampers, mechanical LSD, floating caliper brakes, manual seats, 4 speaker stereo, $46000.
