94 celica base strut question

[eunichman]

Bought a 94 celica a while back. previous owner lowered the front end and did a sh*t job of it... the springs on the struts just flop around (looks like he cur them WAYYYY too short). Is there a cheap easy way to correct this, or barring that, what year(s) model(s) front strut assemblies (mount, brackets, springs and struts) are interchangeable with the 94? engine is a 1.8 l auto trans.

an update on this post... I measured and from the top of the spring to the bottom of the top strut mount, there is 3" of empty space with nothing but bare strut bar... is there an easy fast and cheap fix to this or am I looking at having to invest more than i paid for the car ($400) to get a decent ride quality out of it that doesn't sound like the whole car is falling apart every time I hit a small pothole?

You can probably buy springs for it and install them. Springs aren't that expensive.
