Hello all. I am the proud owner of a celica st205 GTFour 1994. I am in the search to buy all the necessary bushings to change on my car.
I have visited superpro bushings, polybushes, gt4racing bushes from poland, superflex etc
The ones i have found in a complete kit was from polybushes so it makes it easier than just ordering each part alone.
Any personal experiences with any of the above brands in a 6 gen celica? How does it feel? Good for the money? or go with the stock ones?

Thanks.

I would also be interested.
I realize these don't fit the front arms but I've already done all the front arms and I'm now looking at the rear arms.

Ordered my LCA bushing from GT4 racing in poland.
Good experience and would do business with again.

It was the only option I had for LCA bushings as they were not meant to be replaced on my car.
They had great customer service with awesome communication, and fairly quick shipping considering it came from poland to canada.

As for the product, was really impressed with bushings I received and definately felt and imporvement in the handling.
If you need to replace the bushings anyways, I would go ahead and use poly bushings because they are pretty much the same price to replace ( in my case they were after factoring in shipping, exchange rates, etc, depending where you are and where you are ordering from)

The ride is stiffer, but not a whole lot stiffer, but im only on tien springs, twos r us rear endlinks, front LCA bushigns from Poland, and Energy suspension rear sway bar bushings in poly as well.

But overall I was satisfied, and would order from him again.
Hope this helps.

Not sure.
If the SS uses the same LCA's in the front as MAC, then yes, but I'm pretty sure they are different.
Check out that site and take a look, it should be in there.

EDIT: Doesn't look like theres much for Front bushings for an st205

I am determined to buy these:

http://www.polybush.co.uk/shop/view/682_To...Gen_6_ST205_GT4

I think thats a complete kit for our cars and i dont think you need anything else except a sway bar or something else. I think this kit generally covers all bushings.

Tell me guys what you think wink.gif

Damn that seems like a pretty good deal if its the whole set.
I think I paid half of that for only my LCA bushings.

For the sway bar bushings, depending where you are, you can get them from Energy Suspension for a couple bucks cheaper.
