Macintosh Classic 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2009 Awesome! It'd be cool if you could somehow swap to the sc suspension. Do u have the front sump stuff as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bubba 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2009 Awesome! It'd be cool if you could somehow swap to the sc suspension. Do u have the front sump stuff as well? yeah. actually thats the plan. im going to try to swap over the whole front suspension from the sc to the x. (so i dont need custom 1u/x8 mounts=bigger brakes and so on) it really doesnt seem to be that hard... mostly cause i have a hacked up donor car. ha ha. the crossmember from the sc is less than half an inch off from the x... so. we'll see how that goes. ill keep the pictures coming for sure. oh yeah. and this is why i cut the car in half. for those of you who were wondering. i need more time and space to measure all the what nots on the front half. -bubba Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2009 jacob stop giving people bad ideas, dude. a half inch may as well be a mile. stick with what youve got on the cressida. theres a reason why so many of us have kept the strut/spindle combo. keep it simple, stupid. maybe swap the brakes over if its not requiring adaptors. otherwise just get the swap itself done first. then long time down the line when youve got the ITB stacks pointing out the hood....then you can think about getting this sc400 bullshit on.
