ok, I'm looking through the coilovers (i'm organising a group buy on them) and I notice that some of the Celicas have Macphersons, where some have Superstruts. (as you can probably guess, the Superstruts are VERY expensive!)
How does one tell whether it's an M or S type suspension? Thanks  I will post up info on the group buy if anyone is interested.

yes, I know that
 I meant regular Celicas...How can one tell if it's Macpherson or Superstrut? I need to be able to tell to organise this group buy, I don't want people buying the wrong coilovers! -------------------- www.tangcla.com - photography

lol, don't mean to discriminate... I mean sillycars
I should change that to something that is politically correct and just say everything that is not an ST205. so ST202/204. -------------------- www.tangcla.com - photography

Are you asking on my behalf Tangcla?
Edit: but as far as I know. The st204 has Independent MacPherson strut at the front and back, but the back is a dual link.

some st202's came with superstrut suspension as an option but i think it was standard on the ss3 models. the springs for both systems are the same so i think coilovers should be the same for both systems.

Here's a picture:
 The ones circled red are the regular macphearsons and the ones circled yellow are Super struts. The red ones are rears... but on Macphearson celicas... they look basically the same. I forget who this picture belongs to... but it's a member from here... so credit to them... =] This post has been edited by Kwanza26: Feb 14, 2006 - 6:11 PM -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...
