It's always a hard choice when trying to make your daily driver a race car. Comford/good music/sound vs. light weight and faster. If you get big heavy subs try and make them easily removable for those track days or street races. (I always recommend track over street for TRUE racing...safer too but I'm old)I have the power original Supra seats and I like them. May be heavier than a true race seat but can really snug up for racing or get cushy for daily casual drives. I don't see myself removing and weighing for you...sorry...no time.

If you ever get to the track you can always remove the subs and spare tire easily. If you really are serious take out the back seats and passenger seat. Be prepared for the lighter rear end...it will handle a little different.

My vote: Go for the Supra power driver seat, intake and pipes, TEIN Flex coilovers and while you need to remove the back seat for the TEIN install, leave it out. Do some cool custom easily removable sub set-up in place of that back seat. (only really really small people can sit back there anyway).
The TEIN Flex has an optional electronic damper adjustment you can work from inside the car so you can crank it stiffer or cushy.

All it takes is money and time.
