The only difference between Mcpherson and SS is bottom part of the shock. I think that GT4 has different spring rates apart from NA group. TRD fits the same springs for AT200,202,203,204. 202- Beams.

I'm pretty sure the perches and such are all different also... otherwise aftermarket pillow ball top mounts would all be the same. In essence, Super Struts run totoally different springs.

romas: GT4 and SSIII should be able to interchange springs. The GT4's srping rates might be a bit stiff... but that's OK...

I'd suggest that wouldn't be OK at all.

There are springs available, but I suspect you're going to to have to ship them from Japan. Or get them custom made.

I might know someone who knows about this. Let me get back to you.

Needing another one 18000 miles later, bloody annoying.
