this is what the front and back suspension looks like. the front looks just like the corolla and the back is pretty much the same as far as the spring and shock set up. the only difference is it has an irs insted of sre. would we be able to use the same set up as the corolla for the celica? does anyone know. let me know what you guys know. thanks.

i don't think it's a straight forward swap.... i would just leave it sre. just rebuild the diff

i'm not talking about the rear end swap. i'm talking about like the coilovers they make for the corolla running them on this car. cause you have to cut the spindles off and weld them on to the coil overs. you know what i mean?

the front's can be easily converted and inspite of the IRS, the rear end can use the same setup that the corollas would use.

nacho had a GT-S as well. i wish i had did further research into it back then when he had it.

i performed a similar conversion for a 79 toyota corona & CBR_TOY's 86.
