[Supras] [SOGI-TECH] Tokico struts

[bonescom at bellsouth.net]

I'm not sure if you were directing your questions to me or not, but I'll answer anyway.

As far as I know, there's nothing wrong with the stock springs except, most likely, price.  If the price is good, I'll buy them.

Running anything except TEMS shocks is out of the question for me.  The car came with it and I intend to keep it.  I just don't want to change what came with the car.
