Well - non stop hastle..... First of all - i was F'ing tired of searching for SSIII springs.... So i said - what ever..... i just took and bought GT-four springs witch has a bit stiffer spring ratio compared to a SSIII ones (front ones are exactly the same - rear ones has a stiffer ration cuz of the different weight of the car).
Installing a springs on SS suspension was a nightmare compared to a Mac stuff.... After install i found out what one of the joins on the 8 figure is dead and couses the clunking noise.... So this was the last drop for me.... Whats it - im converting to Macferson.... Basicly what i will do - will use the housings of the SStrut Struts cut the damn lower arm what is on the Strut and weld the Mac brackets on to just keep the same shocks and same springs... Now im a bit concerned about few thing - does Subframe where the main arms of superstrut and Mac mounts is the same on both models? and does the Hubs on AT200 and ST202 are the same??? Cuz im a bit woried about the axle having a different slicers and what it will not mount to AT200 hubs (witch are easy to locate here). Well - your thoughts and sugestions are higly welcome - if you have some ideas - let me know. Thanks, Romas -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

go to a salvage yard with a tram gauge or tape measure and measure a MAC style suspension from another celica and compare to yours. if they are the same swap em......not sure if that will help but i can try
