For the applications you're describing, the oem mkiv tt suspension would do just fine. If you simply must lower the car for looks, sure a full set of coilovers and sway bars would be nice, but until you're extremely experienced driving your Supra, you probably won't be able to take advantage of those suspension components.

No, the oem clutch holds only about 375rwhp or so, reliably, depending on how hard you drive it...fwiw mine failed about 5K miles after I went bpu, and I'd put over 40k miles on it with oem boost.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
