I wish I could answer your question, but I don't know for sure.Frankly, I usually worry more about upgrading the rear sway bar in any FWD car I have owned. That's what will help counteract the inherent understeer.In my Mazda3, for example, I have upgraded the rear bar from the OE 20mm bar twice while retaining the OE front bar. First to a 22mm adjustable bar set to full. And more recently to a 27mm Racing Beat solid bar. The car understeers so much less now and is more predictible.

The rear sway from the celica doesn't fit the AWD vibe or matrix (03-08)The front should be a direct bolt up.
