no it won't fit. i tried. the upper strut mounts fit but the two lower 19mm bolt holes are spaced differently so it won't bolt on the knuckle.

Dude, if you are talking on the rear, no matter u have super strut or macpherson its no difference.
Why u insist to find a st205 rear struts to mod to your st202? Simply find any ST202 rear struts to replace yours -------------------- |

Simply find any ST202 rear struts to replace yours i can get hold of some ksport coilovers which are for an st205 and was tring to work out if they fit. and if not a way to make them fit. now i know the fronts fit but there is some ambigurity as to whether or not the rears do as this website clearly states that the st202 and st205 rear strut are the same. http://www.tcbparts.co.uk/suspension.htm Celica ST205 GT4 & ST202 (1993-1999) Offside Rear Shock Absorber R/H Genuine Toyota Part number: 48530-29335 Price: £65.80 + £9.87 vat each |

U can either trust tcbparts and place an order, but before that pls make sure they are willing to refund ya if not fit.
Or trust the helpful gentlemen here whom had experience that told ya clearly thats not work... PERIOD -------------------- |

They are different as stated earlier. I have a 202 and a 205 and the 205 ones cannot be modded to fit.

I've got both cars GT4 and SS-III and although I've never tried to swap them around, I can say that the entire rear assemblies are nothing alike.
Also TRD lists 3 different part numbers for ST202 MacPherson, ST202 Superstrut and ST205. So I'm guessing these theories will never make it into practice. -------------------- Mike W
