2nd Generation 4th gen celica parts swap on 2nd gen camry?

i was wondering if swaping oem struts/springs from 86-89 celica to 87-91 camry will lower the car ride and have the same ride comfort.

what about swaping out the camry manual 5pd out for a 4th gen gts celica 5spd tranny?

are these swapable and plug n play?

only the front struts will work rears won't fit.... i'm pretty sure the tranny is the same so unless it's got less miles or in better condition i wouldn't waste the time

since the fronts work... is the strut height same? how about spring rate?

so the 3sfe tranny is the same as a 3sge tranny? im thinking of the gts tranny, looking for shorter gearing.

the trannys are all the same, S51. struts wont be a worth while swap, expecially with just the fronts.

even the 3sge with a higher redline is geared the same as the 3sfe. not a good idea if so.
