So I just bought a 1994 Celica ST AT200 as my very first car, and since it is basically completely stock, i'd like to make it more personal. One of the first things I did was swap out the old 7A-FE (which had 150k+ miles) to a newer one which had 54k. I also checked over multiple parts for basic wear and tear and most of the suspension parts had just recently been replaced. One of the things I've noticed from driving is how much the car flexes, so I decided to look around for some strut bars to see if that will stiffen it up. After looking for multiple hours I didn't find anything for an AT200, but I did find ones that fit on an ST202 and others that fit on an ST204. As my car only has the 1.8L I was concerned as to whether the strut bars would fit properly. (engine clearance, bolt positions) I would appreciate any help with my situation. Thanks.
 Also if you guys know of any good sites to find parts please let me know. |

Welcome!
Yup the ST20X strut bars fit onto the AT200. In addition or even prior I'd also consider some good springs/struts or coil-overs along with some sway bars. Between all that and some nice summer tires it'll handle like it's on rails, heck mine only had Tein springs and KYB struts with crappy all seasons and it still handled great. If you're into handling, aerodynamics, and all that jazz you should check out Tigawoods' project thread linked in his signature.
