upgrades for a slow ST - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #74273 5 posts Started by colin928
A couple of months ago I got a 25th anniversary celica st, and although I absolutely love it, I have to say...its pretty slow. I've read around, and realized, sadly, that there aren't a whole lot of performance upgrades for an ST. I have a somewhat limited budget, and was wondering what I could modify on my car to get the most fun driving experience.
STs can be fun if theyre a manual. get some good tires, some suspension work and the car will out-handle nearly anything.
if u want power u can trbo, but dont expect more than 200 hp. or swap, but thats a whole nother story

x2 suspension is the way to go if you are on a budget
thanks for the suggestions! is there any specific brand that you guys would recommend for suspension upgrades?
