cressidas are IRS, and it doesnt matter because solid axle SUCKS if you want to go fast around turns. theres no adjustment.

but you dont have any adjustment in the way of toe or camber. you can slide it well, but IRS will always perform better because of the versatility in that way you can adjust virtually everything. thats why you never see solid axles in professional motorsports.

solid axles are used in rock crawling for a number of reasons (one being that they are infinately simplier and as such more durable)

fully independant suspension is great, but it depends a WHOLE lot on the design. The supra's double A-arm design is considered the best as the camber angles don't change as drasticly, ect...

what is THE #1 reason independant suspension handles better than a live axle?

LOWER UNSPRUNG WEIGHT

odly enough, I see more MKIII's than I see cressidas on the road...

I'd run a cressida, it's a nasty sleeper


+1 there very pimp for the one whos likes that style (like myself) and there very good handling car and you could put powerful motor.

The bad-parts are hard to find and after market parts are even harder to find but knowing the right people web sites you could have a hot lil drift sedan

now for all you people that say there are no pro drifters that use cressidas well there are there are in none in formula drift that i know of but there are a few in D1 and there are a lot in mxc drifting.Over in heaven I mean japan they love drifting 4 doors the cressida being one of the most used.
