OK, shoulda said its a 4wd 'G'... Still though, if can confirm the valving's different then should be able to tell dealer to get his shit together... Have instructed mate to ring toyota and see if part numbers differ...

Just watch a GT bounce down the motorway or sag in the rear with passengers next time you're out. GTT's look far more stable.


GT caldinas have the same setup as manual GTT's. Auto GTTs have a different front setup apparently.

Are you talking about GT's or G's? Cos there aren't all that many GT's out there to call them standard

Got told the springs for the GTT autos in the front were stiffer as (iirc) they have aheavier auto than the GT's. Sorry should have been clearer.

Think someone on here told me as well
