trd coilover set for gt4. fitment and insert questions. Options

[TannerEsser]

I found some Trd coilovers for a gt4. they need new inserts does anyone know what i would use? also i have a celica gt the front looks like they might fit, i found them for about 150 dollars so i might just sell the back set because i know they wouldnt fit. does any one know the fitment? let me know. thanks.

They won't fit.
GT four uses superstrut suspension, and hte USDM GT's use a macpherson strut suspension.
The rears should fit but the fronts are completely different.

replacing the inserts on the trd coilovers haha good luck. you'll be spending well over $800 for the fronts alone. you'll have to contact the trd headquarter in torrance, california. I last check in the beginning of 2011. So since they still make gt4 trd coilovers replacing cartridges should be available. The pic above is for ss-III trd inserts.

And no, you cannot take these to any other manufacture such as tein because tein rebuilds their shocks and basically every other coilover company. No other cartirdges will fit I spend a few days calling different comanies to see what they had. sorry your out of luck.

well then. that was a rather vicious reply. but thank you haha. its not like i bought them before checking. and its good i checked here because the place who has them said other inserts would fit just not as well as the trd ones. guess he lied. i definantly wont buy them

haha sorry I got the feeling you would say that. Its the only unfortunate thing with trd. IF only there was another company that had inserts for these. I know people would be more likely to buy them from nengun auctions or wherever else they might sell.

what other inserts is he talking about???!

if so you have this chart to compare the measurements. so you can just slap him in the face (* metaphorically) with this chart from trd website. TRD is unique as you can see.
