some 202's had superstrut some didnt, alot of imports had it but not the same as the st205 i believe, not really looked at the 202.

however mcpherson is a totally different setup to a superstrut, you will need the whole subframe assembly and then swap the whole lot over to convert to the normal setup.

I have a SS11 on super struts, when I had the figure 8's replaced they said the GT4 running gear was the same. but I never bothered to look into it more, I was going to get the GT4 coilovers but kept it on super struts.

the front superstrut is the same yes, the spring rates will be alot different as the st205 weighs alot more than a 202, i knwo toyotas own part numbers for the dampers are different too, although KYB supply a universal strut for both.

the arms are the same though

The rear of your import st202 will be the same as the uk model, the gtfour has different rear shocks.

Like i said mate, people have changed the gtfour to a mcpherson setup and it was alot of work
