Mechanic just called me stating front struts dont fit. I already called KYB (even though I pouchased from Ebay) and they said I got correct part#s. My mechanic only took apart the fronts and said the bolt on the wheellock or something is totally a different shape then the strut. He said my front struts are sealed. My rears are rebuildables.

So, from ebay:
(2) 365092 front shocks, (2) 334125-334126 Rear STRUTS) KYB GR-2 shocks to fit 1994 to 1999 Toyota Celica all models excluding all trac 4WD. T

KYB confirmed these are correct part#s.

My mechanic said since my car is a convertible, sometimes they use different parts. Ad said fits all celicas 94-99 except Altrek.

Mine is a 95 Celica GT Convertible. I also bought Tein Springs already from ebay?

I dont think I can return them. What to do? Install springs without struts? Or just try to sell both of them back on ebay.

highperformanceoutlet - Teins Springs

Any advice would be great.

Rears are normal on verts. Just fronts you need to worry. Have mechanic take off wheels (or yourself) and find out what type of struts are on it now. See pics here. Then order accordingly.

My mistake was I ordered all 4 without checking first. But luckily they all fit.
