I would be said buddy. The MK4 is actually one of the more comfortable cars I've ridden in. I've done 15 hour drives to and from Texas in one with no discomfort at all

Well i didnt see it anywhere, i just figured they would, it was my mistake. i thought they would have offered a single opition also along with the twin turbos. So i was the one who made it up, lol. sorry.

Another question, are any suspension mods needed right off the bat? like sway bars, any such thing?

Not needed at all, unless you're a highly competitive roadracer... I'd suggest you try the oem suspension first (assuming it's in spec), and if you find it too soft throw in a set of KYB shocks...

On a high mileage mk4, the shocks or the bushings might be worn out, for example...

Afaik, there's no identified defect like that in the mk4 Supra, other than the minor problem with the hatch bumpers in '93-'95s.

The Mk4 doesn't have any struts. Shocks only, with double-wishbone suspension.

All that said, (fwiw) one of my rear shocks did leak after about 25K miles.

Yes...pretty much everything...even a fully built block & head (not stroked though...oem stroke is better for higher rpms).
