New member needs input to start project

Just picked up a 2003 IS300 2jz-GE auto/LSD and have done nothing but MKV and B6 VWs up to this point. Besides a quick YouTube university course showing me I need to update the rods to handle more than 400hp, what other input do you all have? Stay NA and build? Particular turbo setups to be more...

That is a link to my introduction post. My son and I are building what we are calling an "IS300 Sportivo". Besides trying to find as many TRD aftermarket parts for this car, new are fitting it with ITBs from EFI hardware. WHICH MEANS THE FRONT TRD STRUT BAR WILL FIT PROPERLY!!! Ok. As of now we have the TRD front and rear strut bars, and if any of you were watching it, we bought the rough lower rear suspension brace that was up on Ebay. We sadly just missed a set that a forum member had up for grabs, but that's what I get for not being active enough. FN Noob.

Please hit me up, and spread the word. This is not a wild performance build. We will track it, but for fun, not competitively.

Most interested in right now:
Sportivo shocks
Sportivo Sway bars
TRD front lower suspension brace
But hit me up with anything I don't already have, or you think new may want to use on the build. These hard to find parts take precedence over the cost of the ITBs. So we are patient, right now.

We eventually will compromise to the equivalent eibach Sway bars, and a set of KYB shocks that reportedly are close to the Sportivos.

Many thanks for even considering helping us!

Yellow TRD Suspension?

Yahoo Japan has TRD Sportivo parts all the time. I've seen, shocks, springs and sway bars on there multiple times. You might need a 3rd party to ship you shocks though.
