The chassis is the same for the ST and GT.

Brakes are drum in the back of the ST and the GT has disk. ST has a different engine, hence different mounting locations, but the holes for the GT mounts are still there / indents in the frame are there. Most ST's don't come with the front factory strut stabilizer bar. Sway bars can be different, but they're different throughout each model as well. I guess it depended on who was putting the car together that day.

1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles. Project car
1992 Toyota Celica GT 5S-FE 170k Miles. Daily driver/beater
1999 Toyota Camry LE 5S-FE 216K Miles. RIP You will be missed.

Great, thanks for the info. Picked up a 94 st for nothing, and trying to figure out if its worth getting a gt4 clip. Just want to understand what I'm in for with this project. Having a difficult time gathering factual information from many celica forums, I've been around the block and the hardcore info is scares.
