There are a few "off" brands that sell them online for the 4AFE in a celica. Everywhere else you look, you're going to find one for a Corolla. They'll fit, but you'll need to go to an exhaust shop to have them mate it to your exhaust. Of course, if you weld, you won't have to worry about that.

As far as the suspension goes, what type of setup are you looking for? Just for looks, moderate track use or full blown track?

Your setup could range from simply KYB GR-2s and either Tein, Eibach Prokit, intrax... etc all the way to some Koni Adjustable and some high spring rate Eibach springs.

There are a lot of other parts out there such as Polyurethane bushings, strut braces, underbody braces etc. Bulletproofautomotive.com has a good selection, however their prices are a bit high and it takes a while for them to get their stuff (it's almost all from Japan).

Good luck,

Haha, the 4AFE is the engine code for your car.

If I was going to go to the track, I would run Koni Adjustable (yellows). They're an insert, so you'll need to modify the rear struts. There's a writeup that I posted a couple days ago.

With that, I would use some Eibach Prokit springs. The Sportlines, while they give you a more agressive stance, tend to sag. If you wanted something that you could asjust, Ground-Control makes an adjustable coil over kit. There are basically two rings that you tighten/loosen, and thus gives you control over your ride height.

From there, you can get a feel for your car and figure out what else you would like to do.

From my personal experience, I would get used to the car as it is. Get full control over it, figure out what you want to correct, then go for it.
