The super strut suspension is a more complex suspension system avalible to the higher end celicas. It allows the suspenson to act like a dual wishbone susension. The advantages of the superstrut is it allows the same camber angel though out the range of motion in the suspension travel. So when you are making a hard turn and the weight transfer compresses the suspension; the superstut system will maintain the same tire contact area to the ground. Therefor providind better cornering grip. All the Celica's in the USA came with the standard macpherson suspension.

yes you can bolt the superstrut to your car without major modification.

If you replace lower subframe, along with the GT (Euro Spec GT with Superstrut suspension) Steering gear - no major suspension modifiations will be needed wink.gif + you would need all the Hubs / axles and etc...
