matt86sx Regular Location: Gold Coast, QLD Registered: April 2004	Re: Smashed_Wombat's ST162 SX - Gen 3 Swap In Progress Mon, 06 June 2005 05:34 The superstrut ST202's have twin piston calipers? Hmm, the half cut that my engine came from had superstrut front suspension (was a '99 model).......methinks I had better give them another call and see if those brakes are still there! I should have had a closer look when I was checking the cut out to begin with, but I was focusing on the engine at the time. Only worry would be the availability of pads for them.....might be hard to find some (or very expensive to get them in) if those brakes didn't come here on any Aus-delivered models. I think some later MR2's had twin pistons, might have to look into that, maybe they're the same. As far as I know the idea of the super strut suspension was to keep each front wheel perpendicular to the ground at all times throughout the suspension's travel. It was developed specifically for the ST205 GT4 (I suppose they figured it would be of benefit in rallying) and it filtered down to the 2WD Celicas later on. I read that the rally team found it to be more trouble than it was worth, (all the bearings/bushes in the extra linkages would wear out quickly to the detriment of handling) and it was only of any real benefit on asphalt rallies. No coincidence that the ST205's only WRC win was the '95 Rally of Corsica. Towards the end of the season they actually dropped it in favor of regular struts but that didn't last long before the team was famously banned for the illegal turbo restrictor in October '95. By the way Andy, did you use a new clutch when you did your swap? Let me know. -Matt [Report message to a moderator]
