I am looking at building my celica into what I have always wanted, suspension is the first thing I have decided to undertake.
Below is a list of what I have already purchased, please let me know what else I should/could get to make it better:

Racing Beat Endlinks
ST front and rear sway bars
Tenabe Springs
KYB GR2's shocks and struts
KYB strut mounts
Strut dust covers
Bushing Kit Front and Rear (havent ordered yet)
Front and rear strut bar (havent ordered yet)

If there is anything else please let me know as I would like to get it all done at once and not have to worry about tearing it apart again for a while.

Thanks in advance, Lazurus

Yeah, take your time, there's no need to rush through it. Pay special close attention to detail especially in regards to saftey. Good luck bro.

Should have picked up some koni yellows and adjustable top mounts for the struts. Brakes would also be part of suspension.

I would get the two's r us front sway bar links while your at it another $80 or so and thicker than the stock ones. At the same time your front sway bar will be 24mm and rear 22mm so maybe the rear racing beat endlinks will even out the cars rigidity I don't know??

how much are kyb strut mounts? depending on the price of the kyb's and whether you're riding on expensive tires, you can just get cusco pillowball mounts that drop the car a little bit more (they're thinner than oem mounts) and also lets you adjust your camber. also get some camber bolts for the rear if that's the case. adjusting your camber after changing the ride height can save your tires from uneven wear in the long run.

Everything I have listed I already have waiting to be put on car unless otherwise noted (have the DF210 springs already)

3vz-fte swap is in the future so I am currently unsure of the whole axel/brake combo and how I am going to tie all that together.

*Already have the 3vz-fe* smile.gif

But I know I need to get rid of rear drums for sure!!!!!!
