If there was a suspension part, like strut mounts, that were made for a ST202 would they work on a ST204? Are the struts and suspension different in these two vehicles? This is the difference in the chassis code:

ST204----FWD - 5S-FE (USDM GT / Canadian GT-S)

ST202----FWD - 3S-GE / 3S-FE without AWS (JDM SS-I, SS-II, and SS-III)

Ok, but if i change the whole suspension by getting Tein Super Street coil-overs and then after market strut mounts, i would just need to know if the actualy strut mount position is different. Like where the three bolts would go, whether they are in the same place and if the strut mounts sit on the strut a different way.

Super Struts are completely different and are not interchangeable with MacPhearson struts. The steering rack, tiebar, arms, etc, are all different. That being said, if you are getting Tein Coil overs, be sure you're getting them for the MacPhearson strut version of the Celicas. The pillow mounts might be slightly different between the Super Strut and MacPhearson also... but typically when you get a complete dampner set-up, camber adjustable topmounts are included. The top mount studs should however be in the same place... but the perches and bearings may be different.
