Hi guys,

I work for BC Racing UK and the factory has asked me to source a pair of original front legs so they can produce a true bolt on coilover kit for the Celica. At the moment I believe the only option for a coilover kit, including the BC Racing units, requires the reuse of the original lower superstrut.

BC Racing produce a kit for the Corrolla AE86 that include the lower part of the leg and spindle and they want to do the same for the ST205 and ST202 superstrut model.

Can anyone help with the parts we need?

Thankyou, Bren

Hi Bren,
I would HIGHLY recommend talking to James at JDModified [http://www.jdmodified.com/] (one of your distributors in the UK).
They have a spare supply of front superstrut suspension legs specifically for using with your coilovers.
I'm sure you can come to some arrangement with them.
HTH
Cheers,
Nige.

Any reason why you can't contact KYB to see if they will supply them to you?

As far as I know KYB make the OEM units for Toyota. They definitely make some of the aftermarket ones, for example my TRD 4-way adjustables came in KYB printed outer cardboard boxes with TRD boxes inside.

Ive passed the info and part numbers to the factory, they can source them themselves if they just need to buy KYBs. Your help is greatly appreciated, thankyou :)
