diff between super strut and strut - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #8138 6 posts Started by neoklis
hey guys. My ST206 has stickers on the real windshield that say super- strut suspension while my GT4 ST205 does not. As i checked out many other Celicas i was wondering whether its just a sticker issue or if really there are two suspension systems. If so, what are their differences?
There really are 2 different systems but I've never seen any detailed pics of the super strut system so that about all the info I can offer. I do know that a lot of the rally teams used to swap out the superstrut in favor of the lighter and more durable mcpherson struts. The superstrut however. might be better on tarmac.
I did a bit of searching around the web for you, but I am afraid I don't have a lot to show for it...

From a Toyota Club page:

I've spoken to Richard before and he told me that the McPherson strut setup is actually better than the SS setup. Apparently, the SS setup caused problems for rally teams that they reverted back to the McPhersons.

This is also part of the reason why I decided not to use the SS setup that came with my clip.
