Alternative
Solutions Coilover
Springs Coilovers
offer the choice of spring rate for your particular application, plus the
ability to lower and raise the vehicle as you see fit. There is no
"bolt on" application for these. Universal kits are
available which require you to do away with the perch that a normal spring
would sit on, and weld the mount (collar) for the new coilover kit.
From that point on the spring sits on a small perch that can go up and
down the collar with a special tool. 
Ground
Control offers this kit for $399 with your choice of spring
rate. There is no actual part number as the application varies from
person to person based on usage. 935 Motorsports carries these.

Model Year
If
you can get a hold of a pair of ST185 springs for your ST165, you will get
stronger springs for a lighter car, so in turn, you will have inexpensive
performance springs. You can see in the spring
FAQ the ST185
springs are quite a bit stronger than ST165. The ST185 rear springs fit fine, but the fronts are wider. If you can change over to ST185 strut housings, you can then use ST185 struts and springs.
Celica
GTS Springs
In many cases standard
Celica GTS springs will offer a lower ride height and nice ride for your
All Trac. That is, if the company who designed the springs made them
strong enough to put up with the weight of the All Trac. Some seem
to work, others make things worse. As long as your shocks are not
worn, you can get away with it. I'll offer the part numbers just for
your knowledge, but you are on your own.
