Hi bro, sorry this forum is kindda quite these days...

well not sure about 7Gen Celica Absorbers or timing belt, but as i rmbr a fren of mine bought TIEN (Hi/Low Soft/Hard)half cut condition for RM3K +, timing kit should be about RM1K+

hope our 7 Gen guys answer your questions ....

Happy motoring!

suspension is super strut or macpherson?
SSII is around RM1800/pair for front
Macpherson is around RM1000/pair for front and back is slightly cheaper.

I didnt know the silly got timing belt,i thought it runs on timing chain.
Timing chain i think needs to be tighten only.

~ for absorber I am thinking just go for original (maybe cheaper).
~hope is timing chain problem only , just to tighten it up only.. haha

You can try Sg Besi Trial Tuning Spirit just behind the old warta complex there is a work shop for repair and service celica.... saw a lot of celica service over there... and even mine too.... and that shop had a gen 7 celica track car also....

hmm... if ur car is super strut version i think u better stick with it since it helps for cornering (thought a bit oversteer)
yes u may convert to normal strut if you wish but which to me it is not worth it.

timing chain cant be tighten if not mistaken and timing chain can last for quite long time so i doubt the owner is mentioning the V-belt for aircon,power steering,alternator... which cost u bout 160-200.
