Yes, shock and springs should be fine. As would be wheels, brakes, tires, anti rollbars etc.

The main adjoining things that are completely different are the front axle and the steering rack and pinion.

Yes slightly lower and stiffer. Anti roll bar it is better to just go with TRD or Ultraracing.

Yes, springs, shocks, anti-roll bars are all different. There is a chassis X-brace behind the rear seat to stiffen the rear quarter of the chassis. There is a Yamaha developed shock tower brace between the front two strut towers. The rear seat is also a fixed bench rather than a 60/40 split seat to reduce chassis flex.

Put all of this together and XRS is a lot more rigid, stable and responsive especially in high speed turns etc. The chassis rigidity makes a bigger difference than the suspension.

Also, the steering rack and pinion are different to provide a much quicker, direct steering turn-in. Also, the steering gives much more feedback than the numb 1ZZ steering.

The front axle and disk brakes are from the Celica GTS.
