Hi everyone,

I have a Toyota Celica SS-I 4WS ST203 (JDM) 1997 and I`m looking for rear OEM shock absorber (especially the right side).

I have been searching on the net for new or used ST203 shock absorber, but I still can`t find the correct shock absorber model for my ST203 Celica.
The only information do I get is about the ST202 and ST205 shock absorber models.

So I was wondering if any one can tell me where I can find what I`m looking for or give me more information about the possibilities.

I am looking forward on any ones reaction on this mater,
on which I am very grateful to receive.

Best regards,

Black Eagle

ST203 SS-I 4WS shares the same part numbers as the ST202 SS-I for the rear shock absorber assembly and rear springs.

Hope this helps your search.

I believe KYB GR-2 is the best replacement. Those struts fit non-SuperStrut suspensions only though, so I don't know what you'd need if your 4WS model comes with that.

Spreek je trouwens Nederlands?

Ok, don't mean to hijack your thread here, but is the 4ws setup on a superstrut suspension, or the macpherson strut like we have here in the states?

The reason I ask is that someday, if I still have this car as a project, I would love to do the 4ws rear end conversion. Something I haven't seen done here before.

Hi guys,

It has been a long time, but finally I have the right answer for every one.
So no more confusing!

Delusionz was right, ST203 SS-I 4WS shares the same part numbers as the ST202 SS-I for the rear + front shock absorber assembly and rear springs.
I have the KYB installed and it did fit perfectly as OEM!
I hope the information was helpful for anyone else.
Delusionz ones again thnx a lot.

This is for SwissFerdi,
I can speak the following languages: English, Spanish, Dutch, and Papiamentu.
So Dutch is not a problem for me (dus nederlands is geen probleem voor mij)

Best regards,

Black Eagle

It is a combination of both.
