Will celica springs fit a tc?
I was on the sciontcclub forum and i read that Celica springs / coilovers will fit a tc, is that true and if so how much modification has to be done for them to fit right

There's a post from a guy with 19s and the Skunk2 Celica springs on a tC in the Photo Booth.
Apparently they "kind of" fit. I wouldn't do it, nor do I recommend any body try it unless they realize they're risking their own safety as well as risking damage to the car.

while i believe it is true that they pulled the suspension out of the GTS for the tC, i don't think the parts would be a direct fit and i wouldn't recommend it. you've got 2 different cars that sit, handle, ride, weigh etc... different. they might be the similar factory parts but each is going to be adjusted differently. so don't try it, unless it's proven to be ok.

actually by what you said you just proved several of us on here right. they do share similarities or possibly even parts, and hence should not be slapped into another car without proper research. and isn't it quite possible that the Avensis has a celica suspension? spdlmtNA thanks for the post, it's been a while since training so it might in fact just be the double wishbone rear suspension that came from the celica.
