    Have you read anything about 887's? They're the same spring rate as the 885's but longer, so you'd have a softer ride!

    I got my parts list for my manual swap, I think I might go with a W58 tranny out of a N/A Supra, I think it might be easier to find. And cheaper. The R154 seems pretty rare.

    I have, 884/885/887 all have the same spring rate, just the coil length is different. However i dont want the front end to feel squishy, and if i ever get a winch there's even more weight. I like the stiffer front, keeps the gf from driving ;)

    A rare R154? Dont let that list fool you, it says 1JZ GTE R154, but it was used in all the 7M-GTE MKIIIs, and 7M-GEs aswell, all u need is the 1JZ bell housing to pair them together. You won't like the W58, and if u have llans on going NA-T, the W58 wont hold much over stock power184d73136a989a917e42118b0714269f_72f94e808bda7bb2d89d46f1816fd5ac13dd4698.jpg

    It was only used in the 7m turbo! The W58 is much stronger than the W55 (from what I've read)

    I just read a thread aboutcheap snorkels for Hiluxs', some guys were saying $70 shipped, some fitment issues, but the savings vs USDM snorkels is rediculous
