Car = convertible 6g w/ 3rd gen 3sgte and tons of engine mods

Feel free to only answer one if you don't know the questions to all...

questions:
1) I've seen cusco front strut mounts on the Toyota Curren ST206, I'm pretty sure they will fit, but I can't find one. Does the Curren have the same strut towers as the Celica even though the front clip is different?

2) so does cusco still make strut braces for the ST20# Toyotas? Where can I get them?

3) I found a cusco rear strut brace, it's labeled for a st202/st205, will it fit the Convertible ST204?

4) do the cross bars behind the convertible back seat get in the way of the strut mount?

5) how are the Whiteline brand strut tower mounts that I see for the celicas? Are there ones for the 6g?

6) does the gen3 3sgte gen in the way of certain strut bars?

7) are there custom strut bars that fit the celica strut towers well?

Sway bars for the Celica are really for a summer / autox / track car. You will not want the Suspension Technique sway bars on a daily driver.

There are no rear strut braces for the rear of the vert, one is essentially built in from the factor to support having no roof.
For the front, you could do the TRD or jspeed, but you need to get the one thats lower cause there's two different versions. I have the taller one with the stock hood. Had to cutout the hood bracing and add 2 washers on each bolt bump the hood up a bit.
