Are our cars known for autocrossing? I just found a Tein suspension kit and Suspension Tech sway bar set at Nopi. Is it worth getting to make our cars handle better? I know Rally was popular with the GT-4s. Is there a big difference between the two cars suspension wise? ST vs. GT-4?

Yeah, there have been several very successful 6gcelicas. As far as I know, I own the winningest autox celica, or perhaps the second. Its won 6 SCCA Solo II Stock class national championships, although not in my hands. I've come very very close to trophying at nationals with it in street touring trim.

The GT-4 was available with the superstrut suspension which is completely different than the macpherson strut system in all other 6g celicas. Many of the rally teams converted their superstrut cars back to macphersons to increase reliability.

The suspension mods you're looking at will help a lot, but I would also suggest that you get koni struts to go with the springs...and i would suggest the eibach sportlines over the teins, or perhaps GC coilovers if you're really serious.
