i enquired about this a week or two ago, apparently the st141 one's won't bolt up because the spacing between the bolts at the bottom is 100mm instead of 90mm. you could change the steering arms as well but finding ones the right length would probably be a bit of a mission, easier to just find some xt130 struts.

The struts will not bolt in as such - they run a different and larger sized ball joint, but it can be done if you're prepared to work at it. The easier option of the two is still to go for the XT130 style struts. Diff will also be larger in track and I doubt bolt in, especially if it's IRS. Basically, as the later model stuff is designed on a different platform to the earlier model Celicas, nothing will bolt in easily, but will all need some form of modification.
