    What is a good option for removal of the torsion bars? Bagged or Coil-over? I am more interested in performance than frame drag. All 2 cents and 10 cents welcome.

    If you're not interested in dragging frame, why ditch the torsion bars?

    Dropping in a S2000 drivetrain. Exhaust is going to be forcing me to remove. Along with monster steering concerns, this is just one more decision. What about a mustang ll front end ? (please dont shoot me!)

    sounds like you have a bad ass project going on. If you're going for performance i would do a coilover front end. A mustangII front end would be pretty sweet.

    sounds like its time for a QA1 install on a hilux :D

    you should contact Beef Taco on this subject. essentially, you would be taking early camaro upgraded suspension components (coilovers) and fitting them to the toyota front end. fully adjustable compression and dampening. all performance.
