you can put ke70, ae86, ta63 etc, in your car, you just need to use the steering arm that the new strut sits on, and put on your lower arm ball joint. check sixes tho cause the bigger celicas etc are bigger ball joints. but ke70 will go on, you also just have to swap the strut top.
ie ke70 strut with ke70 steering arm, and put ke30 strut top on. bolt into car. easy as. you might gat away with keeping your streering arms, just measure the distance between the locating lugs when changing.

Yep as above otherwise im using Cressida struts in mine and celica ones fit too. But I wouldnt recommend these options as they arent fully straight forward, a bit of work involved.

Id go with KE70 If I were you, or just replace your standard ones ( I have some stock ones if ya want some)

dont think of just putting the strut on, put the steering arm on too otherwise u get some nasty positive camber.
