@Pbrown maybe they will confirm the Supra launch before the spring, in which case you can put all of that money towards the down payment.

LOL! I need to know by June 6th, 2016. I was looking at the videos of the car over the weekend and there is no way in it's current form it will be under 70 k especially if the engine is over 400 horse. Stunning vehicle for sure.

Yep - Eibach ProKit. With the springs and the $7 crash Subaru bolts to give you more camber and you'll be set for the track suspension wise! The drop is a bit less than 1"

The front ones just need to be removed from the OEM struts - I don't have a spring compressor.

You can have them if:If I can find the crash bolts, you can have those as well (not sure if they can be used more than once).

I will also probably do an OFH. There is a place in town that does ceramic coating (RLD) if it isn't too outrageous, I'll probably get it ceramic coated.

Edit: Forgot that I will also be adding the Perrin steering rack bushings.

Outside chance I will do some suspension stuff as well.
Let me know how much it costs.

Will do. I sent them email today so I should hopefully hear back this week.

Anyone else interested in case there is group pricing?

I have a few things lined up, but I'm spending all my mod money on purchasing a new camera
I need a cheaper hobby.

You're fast enough, Andre. No need to get more mods.

How much of a difference did you notice switching from this setup to your coilovers?

It was a huge difference, but I changed a lot of other suspension things at the same time (steering rack bushings, rear subframe inserts, rear sway bar, wheels/tires, caster/camber plates, rear LCA, front camber from -2.0 to -3.3). I did notice the damping was much better.
