um, my sr5 seats are great..... they bolster really well... and the driver seat is 3 way adjustable (stock).

Couple things to note..... for the front swaybar you also need all of the bracketry, the control arms, and the swaybar endlinks. SR5's have rear swaybars. To install the strut brace you need to drill the firewall. GTS's also have rear disc brakes. Since the spoiler in a GTS has the 3rd brakelight, the SR5 rear dash is different (because it houses the 3rd brakelight.... which many other sr5 owners have complained, like myself, about the housing being designed poorly and the bulb gets too hot & melts the ground making it work intermittently). Although the SR5 doesn't have the holes for the sideskirts, they're easy to install.

At this point, (on this forum) i'm probably the closest to having an SR5 -> GTS conversion done on an ae92. Although quite a bit of the stuff that's different i've gotten better parts than stock to replace them. Done the motorswap (and i just got the aftermarket ECU, so once i build it & install it the motor will get the ITB's back). Have the front swaybar (except mine is slightly larger, it came from a Japanese GTZ) and front strutbrace. I have the gauges (all of them, i got rid of the stock SR5 dummy lights). I have the sideskirts on as well. The suspension has been upgraded -> kyb gr2's & suspension techniques, then Tein upper pillow ball strut mounts all around (aka 'camber plates'). I have the GTS rear trunklid & spoiler (but not installed, my sr5 does have a spoiler that's similar already on it).
