Howdy all,
I have damaged some parts of my suspension. I think it is only control arms. Are they the same ones on the normal Celica or are the gt4 ones different?
Thanks
Shane

Don't know for surem but in theory there shouldn't be that much difference. Between the two, one is 2WD and the other AWD and I'm pretty sure they've got different engines too. 
What have you done to the control arms? I know the driveshafts are way different between them, but not 100% on the control arms. Can anyone else offer a little more clarity?

At a guess the front end would be similar, the rear is totally different though 
No "definite"s - sorry

Ok thanks for that, gotta go the wreckers and match them up. The gt4 ones are not visually different are they? as in they are 20mm thicker or something?
i will go check out the wreckers today.
