Toyotas are more expensive to work with than Hondas. Those GT4 Racing bushings are the only ones I know of, but that's not to say that others don't exist. As 6th gen enthusiasts, the law of supply and demand hits us hard. There is very little demand for the Celica so the guys that do make parts have to charge more for them. I've got front LCA poly bushings and have had the privilege to drive a Celica with the poly bushings a around and they definitely make a big difference. They make the car a bit more responsive and help make it feel newer. I wasn't happy with the price of the bushings until I felt them, and now I agree that they are well worth the asking price.

And oh yea I do have have a comment for the post three up from this... I don't like Honda's was making a point.. you getting all emotional over something I'm sure a majority has felt on this site B4. I simply was stating it like many in the past  sheeeeeeshhh . lol and oh yea your comment is made on the hill of my statement, "parts come in affordable not only Honda's etc.. but also 5th and 7th gen Celica's. RARE for 6GC..." you don't fit the criteria with your AT-180 or ST-184 just trowing it out there.
