''Sport package'' Suspention?, What is it? Options

[dudeofchaos]

I heard there was a sport suspention package for the Gt St204 model. What is the difference between the sport and regular setup?

^right. the GT-S is the sport suspension version of the GT in Canada. ABS is also a standard option and they came with larger bushings for the solid lateral arms in the rear. the bushings are about 1/4 of an inch larger in diameter. also, the rear sway bar, rear sway bar bushings and rear springs are all uprated. the suspension part numbers and prices (here) show that they're different from non-sport suspension versions.

And that's the rest of the information I didn't have. I find it funny that Toyota decided to badge them GT-S in Canada and just plain ole GT in the States.

Me too, and it mixes everybody up when it comes to ''what model is your celica''. lol

That's why I re-badged mine to GT-S when I realized it had the sealed struts. Got frustrating to try to explain the difference, so I just re-badged it and I got a lot more notice and interest. Apparently the early model 94's in GT-S don't exist much around here anymore lmao. I got offered 4K by a guy at the midnight showing of Fast 5 because he wanted to try a 4AGE swap on my GT-S chassis. This all because of a stupid badge that shows the cars true standing. It's probably more likely to get snatched now too haha.

Didn't the early model USDM ST204's with the sport suspension come with the front strut bar as well, or was that standard across the board for all ST204's?

I think all GT models no matter the uprated package or not came with that.
