as per title, would a set of coilovers made for the st205 gt4 fit onto a st202 ss-3 with superstrut, i know the spring and damper rates would be a lot stiffer than a purpose made kit but i'm not sure thats a problem as i'm after quite a stiff setup.

Fronts - yes
Rear - no. ST205 is 4WD so rear suspension is different due to driveshafts etc. Gary --------------------  1994 ST205 Celica GT-FOUR Group A WRC - running in new engine 1993 Rover 220 GTi tarmac rally car (under construction) 3SGE power here we come.... GT-Four spec list |

Just installed TEIN GT-four springs to my SSIII cuz i was tired of search for SSIII spring. Springs are exactly the same - and to be honest - they are even the DAMN SAME as AT200 - only difference is spring rate.
GT-four has a bit stiffer springs in rear then the SSIII its about 10mm/g stiffer (or how the hells it writes  )Springs will work - coils - nope, without the modifications - no chance to fit them. -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

I have some lowering springs for the SS-III coming from espelir in japan, they are specifically for the car, took a few days of searching about, but they should be suitable spring rates.
I checked out the rear struts and they dont look the same as a gt-fours. I'll probably get a set of uprated front shocks for a st205 and get uprated rear shocks for an st202. This post has been edited by Edophus: Apr 27, 2006 - 5:49 PM |

I had the advantage of owning an SSII and an ST205 at the same time.

ah, cool, you know what i mean though, there are to many people out there on internet forums that regurgitate information, just cause they read it somewhere, regardless of whether its right or not, i always read what other say, and armed with that information go and find out for myself, anyway thx for the info.
