I wonder if the 1986 or 1988 toyota celica (with the E153 tranny) axels would work for the swap?

i'm running zx2 s/r struts (i dont think this car came to aus) with ground control coilover sleeves 300 pound front spring, 200 pound rear spring. we never got the "levin" here, so i'm not sure what that would equate to as far as US models... the alltrac front axles are working fine though that i widened the stance a little with RX7 ball joints.
the car gained roughly 80-90 pounds with the trans swap. it was 2550 pounds with me in it, a half tank of gas, and all the passenger seats removed.Escort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft. Lbs. @ 23 PSI

from what i understand, the gearset itself is pretty much the same in the 4AGZE gearbox (we did get these, except in MR2's only). using the 3S/1MZ gearbox with the larger bellhousing worked just fine for me.Escort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft. Lbs. @ 23 PSI
