Heh... I've toyed around with this idea after doing some AE86 struts... but basically Toyota uses very similar inserts for their macphearson struts. That said, you can use MR2 AGX shocks (most readily avail) and drop them in... but I believe the Celica strut casing is slightly longer, so a spacer will be needed, or you simply shorten the casing. What punch did was shorten the casing, cut off the perch, and welded on coilovers. Pretty standard for DIY suspension...

Thats pretty much it in a nut shell the front was cut& shorten but still needed spacers on the front but no spacer for the back & the insert or for a mr2.

how is the ride quality compared to your cut springs? I'm sure its better, but is it very bumpy, do you ever rub with this setup too?
What do you use as spacers ?

Would these MR2 rear inserts would work for front and rear on our cars ?

I will return one day.
the pics are the front of the car...
I realize those are pictures of the front. My questions are, what did you use as spacers ?

And, do the MR2 rear inserts work on the front and rear of our cars ?

Thanks

How's the handling with the AGX shocks and Ground Controls? And what's your setup on the rear?
