I have a 1994 celica GT4, it is a fabulous car, i really enjoy it. I bought it to rallycross in. nothing fancy, just amateur level. My dilemma (well, the most recent one at least) is that the car is currently on the BC coilovers that modified the stock setup with welding the original suspension. It turns out this set up is not suited for rallycross; at all. Great in autocross however!

Now, here is where my questions come it, I have been hunting the internet trying to get information on what I need to do to get this thing back into a rally friendly format. I have come up with little; well, other then lowering them seems to be the only thing people want. I am hoping I can stumble upon a great set of coilovers that will meet my needs for a reasonable price. In lieu of nothing being out there fitting that bill, what do i need to return the car to stock? or what do i need to do to make the car able to handle more then a slight dimple in the dirt?

does this help me at all? http://www.sunrisejapanese.com/parts-acces...prings-gt4.html

thank you all for the valuable information you are about to provide!

I had the TRD suspension and yes it's pretty much bolt on replacement, nothing hard at all. I should have looked at the link really, the TRD "normal" suspension is fine, it's the coilovers that are a bit harsh. I used the normal adjustable suspension on my road car for years and it was great, not sure how well it would last in rally cross, I suspect not long and I think it would bottom out a lot and soon obliterate themselves. Might be worth asking BC about their coilovers, a quick google search brings up a few references to BC long travel coilovers, could be worth investigating.
