Default celica suspension ??

Before the tC came out I read in a few magazines that its would share the same suspension set up as the 2000+ Well I have never check up on this. but now I'm wondering if it true and has anyone tested it out ?

i know it shares its base with the japanese Avenis and Caldina... im not so sure about the suspensions.. maybe brakes and what not, but why bother with the celica's suspension, i know ur just askin but its a pointless mod celica/tc susp mod..

i don't think it does since the celica is pretty much based on the corolla chasis, and the tc is based of the avensis chasis. and why does it matter? it isn't like there i a shortage of suspension choices for the tc. probably every company that makes suspension components for the celica makes them for the tc too.

I'm just asking because I want to know. that is way it matters to me. And also there are a few companies (out side the US) that make suspension parts for the celica that do nothing for the tC.

yes and no. car makers for years. have been using parts between more then once car in their line up. It helps on cutting cost. Why making 5 different sets off part Y of 5 different cars when you can make one set of part y that fits in 5 different cars.
