They might. As long as they're about the same length and have the same sized ends then they'll be fine.
i dunno, i would think no though
if what evil spped said is true, than just get the front ones and try using htem on the rear, as they are like $23 a piece and the rears ae like $53 a piece. ONLY diff i could tell is that htey were like a mm or so shorter

Geez, for that much money, call Ground Control and get some Heim jointed ones. They're not that much.
If you want, I can check with OEM replacement ones at work and see what the differences are.

Yeah, its just an internally threaded rod with rod ends (heim joints) on it. You'll have to get some hardware to attach it, but its not a big deal. You just need a couple long bolts, some spacers and washers and nuts. Measure the length of the stock ones from center to center. Call GC and tell them you need swaybar endlinks that are that length or close (they are adjustable, so they don't have to be exact), and tell them what size the bolts in the old links were (they're not really bolts, but you know what I mean, the threaded part that goes through the swaybar). They should be able to hook you up no problem. Don't bother looking for them online or in any catalog, you won't find them. Just pick up the phone and give em a call!
callin them now,
they said no go
they only do it for bmws
call and bother them and maybe we can get them to produce them for us

Nowhere you call is going to have links for a celica. You just need links that are the same length. Don't even mention what they're for. Just say 'swaybar end links'. Tell them the relevant dimensions and see what they have thats close. We run their links on our BMWs but both cars are in cali right now so I can't check them, but I'd be willing to be that they'll work on a celica.
i see
is it worth my time to get those? or just go ahead and pay $53 aside for oem replacements?

are you saying to use bmw sway bar links, cause i looked an there the same style, an i still have my bmw 525i, an e34, an im gunna try an pull them off an fit em on my celi, but thats when i get time.....
I was suggesting you get the heim jointed ones that GC makes for BMWs yes. I'll probably do that eventually. Its not as big of a deal on our cars as it is on some because the stock endlinks are not rubber mounted.
The stock ones are 10MM diameter bolts. I made my own last summer, had a devil of a time finding heim joints in stainless with metric threads and bushings, ended up being more than the stock ones,,,still on and still doing fine though. the front ones are so short, all you need are 2 joints, 1 with male thread and one with female thread, just screw the 2 together, (had to shave approx 1/4" off the end of both to get them short enough for the front and still have room for a lock nut.) the rears can be either an internal threaded shaft with 2 male threaded ends or 2 female threaded ends with a standard 10MM metric stud from any parts store between them. seems like the front were approx 60MM center-center and the rear were 100-105 MM.
Or you could use 3/8 SAE thread ends (much cheaper and easier to find) and use a shouldered bolt to fit the holes in the swaybar and the control arm tightly, I found some of these in a box of aircraft hardware I had around, so shouldn't be hard to come up with.
Since the originals are actually a steel ball-and-socket design, I decided it was not worth the time and trouble to pursue this any further, you could probably save some money using the 3/8 SAE ends with shouldered bolts. (but I wouldn't try to use straight 3/8 bolts in the swaybay or control arm, it is really too loose a fit)
