was just wondering if the superstrut suspension on a ST205 GT4 Celica will fit my ae111 which is also superstrut??

They will be different.

Not many company makes superstrut adjustables.
Tein makes them, but expect to pay well over $3000 for it
TRD also makes them
GAB use to, but discontiuned
Arogasta is very expensive, approx $5000
Koni used to make them, but not sure if they still do

KYB makes them, but only damper adjust items, not coilovers, but you won't find a set in NZ unless you import from japan

I would recommend just changing to TRD springs to lower the car, cheap option, otherwise go for TRD damper adjust (ask revhead), they are not as expensive as coilovers. Honestly, unless you are planning to do some track racing, coilover is overkill for NZ road, too bumpy and uneven.

Thats why you buy them, get a new wof, put them in and play with them for a few months till you get it right, and then get the cert just before you have to get a new wof :oops: :lol:

haha! fair enough..

in my skyline, everytime I was pulled over for speeding, they never asked why its so low.
but when it was a checkpoint or "random license check" (my ass) they always checked for cert.

Generally, coilovers have a much much stiffer spring rate than factory ;) so you often dont get much of a choice with hard. All too often people do get coilovers just so they can slam the living bejesus out of it.

I know there's probably a really good reason, but why can't they cert adjustables at like 2 settings? like a high & a lower setting, or a street & a sporting setting
