    Id just go with AGX's in the front and GR-2's in the rear. Those last two links, the front shocks don't look like they would fit a celica.

    both of those are sample pictures...

    but the fronts are cartridges. you take your old shocks, unbolt the huge nut holding the strut cartridge in, empty the guts, slide the those shocks on, put the huge nut back/use the new supplied one. i had to do this to the agx's i installed at the front because they don't make the agx as a direct fit, but rather use the old strut housing.

    Selling..

    Would love to be able to put money into this but as a uni student just cannot afford it.

    Add is here:
    - Will pass roadworthy if the Power steering pump is replaced

    http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/albi...tchback-st162-white-lightning-rare/1011611296


    Much of a regretful sale, but cannot afford two cars. I'd sell my other car but it is still used by my parents occasionally.

    Will consider all reasonable offers, so much work done to this car already.

    Hopefully I will get my hands on another 162/165 later down the track once I finish uni.

    Mass update, this car has still been giving me headaches, here's list so in the last 8-10months

    New radiator, shocks, lowered springs (sl) , timing belt, oil seals, oil pump, rocker cover gaskets, power steering pump and rack , gearbox, clutch , .. First it was leaking from behind the timing belt, fixed that, a week later rocker cover gasket was leaking oil, now my sump is leaking. it never ends. Has a bad splatter problem which is the afm.

    I would like the front to sit a little lower, maybe get myself some ultra lows

    But here is my white lightning, as it sits today

    After leaks and splatter is fixed, I'm looking at 15% tint all round, then a cat-back exhaust with a twin tip sports muffler, 2.25" most likely, then a nice set of black wheels
    like these. C-SPEC-FB-front.jpg
