They are specific for each vehicle. But you still might get lucky, I'm not sure just how many versions of each shock there might be. Look up the part number for your 7, then compare it to the part number you've got...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it ain't gonna happen. If you don't know the difference between live axle and IRS, start reading up on suspension. Want to beat a 200 hp Supra you have 2 choices. Either challenge him in the twisties, (and learn performance driving), or go turbo.

Save the phone call to Tokico, they won't fit.
