Although I'm less familiar with na's (perhaps other member(s) can post here as well), I'd have to guess that you wouldn't gain much HP from removing the A/C versus simply turning it off. Most folks I know that completely remove the a/c do so for weight savings, and possibly to increase airflow to the radiator.

The Mkiv Supra doesn't have struts, it has a double-wishbone suspension with coilover shocks. A couple of good replacements for the oem shocks are Koni and KYB (AGX). If you want to go to a full coilover system, Teins are very popular.

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.
