Celica Alltrac parts only swap over if you have a Camry Alltrac - which you probably don't.

FWD Celica parts can sometimes swap over (including full coilovers).

In neither case are they a direct swap though.

If you want to do a basic lowering, new struts and with B&G lowering springs will be easier and MUCH cheaper.

I want to say B&G springs are a 2" drop, maybe 1.5" or 1.75". Not a ton, but noticeable.
