Superstrut and Macpherson on 6GC? - 6G Celicas Forums

ok, I'm looking through the coilovers (i'm organising a group buy on them) and I notice that some of the Celicas have Macphersons, where some have Superstruts. (as you can probably guess, the Superstruts are VERY expensive!)

How does one tell whether it's an M or S type suspension?

Thanks

I will post up info on the group buy if anyone is interested.

They look different... hehehe. You have superstruts on your GT4. All ST205's had SS suspension...

yes, I know that

I meant regular Celicas...

How can one tell if it's Macpherson or Superstrut? I need to be able to tell to organise this group buy, I don't want people buying the wrong coilovers!

What do you mean "regular celicas"?!?!?!
What're you trying to say, huh? lol

lol, don't mean to discriminate... I mean sillycars

I should change that to something that is politically correct and just say everything that is not an ST205. so ST202/204.

Are you asking on my behalf Tangcla?

Edit: but as far as I know.
The st204 has Independent MacPherson strut at the front and back,
but the back is a dual link.

maybe

lol
but it's good to know. I think the 7th gen has a different suspension setup between revisions as well.

some st202's came with superstrut suspension as an option but i think it was standard on the ss3 models. the springs for both systems are the same so i think coilovers should be the same for both systems.

nope... according to the TEIN site there are two models for the ST202, one is blardy expensive!

Here's a picture:

The ones circled red are the regular macphearsons and the ones circled yellow are Super struts. The red ones are rears... but on Macphearson celicas... they look basically the same.

I forget who this picture belongs to... but it's a member from here... so credit to them... =]
