i dont think so unless the gt4 uses superstruts. I would say maybe call up fensport and ask them if they have suspention for your car just to be safe about it.

I think the rear would be the same as the GT/ST cars available. But I'm certain it is not the same as the 4.
The GT4 has 4wd drive so the rear shocks are a bit shorter. -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

PM me the chassis no and I will check that for you on the EPC!
If it is a superstrut car then it should be the same as the GT4. |

If it is a superstrut car then it should be the same as the GT4. SS only says something about the front suspenion of the Celica. Since total weight of both cars are different both in the front (turbo and ancillaries) and back with the rear diff+overhang of the tank in the back, I dont think they are identical. -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

On my SSIII i used spirngs in the rear from a ST, spring from the GT4 are totaly the same exept the Spirng Ratio is different, GT4 has stifer spirngs. IMHO ST / GT / GT4 / SSIII have totaly the same shocks in the rear exept different spring ratio, and GT4 might have Stiffer shocks cuz of the added weight in the rear.

thank,s for all the replies. think the best thing i can do is giv them a call. the springs i have are fine so i dont know how much spring rate would matter. im lookin for the shock on its own. the shocks are green with black springs. got this number of them a while back 48231-sp000-06 cant get the vin number yet the cars still in the garage. if anyone ever sees them been sold seperatly any where else
