Unfortunately, I must disagree - at least in part. To begin with, I'd ask that you reread the original question:

He asked about "the best"...not merely something "good", or something that you "haven't heard anything displeasing about". iNs0mN1a, I know you also mentioned price, but you put quality first in your question. If you meant it the other way around, please let us know!
Note: I can and do only recommend something I either ran/run personally, or is being used by someone that I trust. I do agree with you about HorsePowerFreaks - I'd put them almost on-par with
MVP, and I like the way their web site works - great selection. The rest of them however, are clearly second tier at best and with the case of Megan Racing, to me, third tier or worse. For example, take a look at
Megan's track shocks - there isn't even a setup for the Mkiv Supra!!! I haven't heard of anyone of note running Megan for roadracing an Mkiv (and winning with them), so for me personally I have to advise
iNs0mN1a to stay away from them. For suspension, I can't even call
HKS "the best"...to get "the best" suspension, you'll have to go with
Moton, or
Penske. Unfortunately, Ohlin doesn't make a race-spec shock for the Mkiv. Personally I run
GC/ADs, but wish I could afford some Motons or Penskes.
Although GReddy's 4-row intercooler is fine, their turbo kits have a terrible wastegate design, and utilize ancient 1980s technology turbos (eg. T88). How can you compare this to HKS, which has updated their T04R turbo kit to use the much newer
T04Z? Also, GReddy has already stopped making and selling many of their parts for the Mkiv Supra (eg. Their GReddy SP exhaust used to be the best quiet street exhaust for the Mkiv, before it was discontinued). The one exception of course (in HKS vs. GReddy) is the GReddy BCC, which is a critical component for a US-spec Mkiv at BPU level. A'PEXi's electronics are okay, but again, to me, they're not on the same level as HKS. Blitz does make a good blowoff valve, but almost no one runs their turbo kit for the Mkiv Supra.
Like I said above, if you want "the best", stick with top brand name parts, like JUN, HKS and Top Secret. Domestic suppliers like Sound Performance, MVP Motorsports, Powerhouse, RPS, Titan Motorsports, ARD, Boost Logic, and HPF also provide high quality parts. All just mho. Please post if you disagree with these opinions.
