only if it involves using a kit to do the kitting of a kit replica style kit.
made for a different kit type car, and molded to fit the cressy.

The problem on the MX73 is the spring-off-shock rear suspension, much like the AE86 Corolla.
I never understood why the Corolla guys didn't just mpunt a coil over wher the shock is mounted. Is it a space issue? The Mustang guys have been doing it for years on the front and back. Someone just need to mount them and see what happens. Hey, CHris....

Perfect car by the way. I say leave it alone. The aero would just kill the sleeper effect IMHO

they do have rear coilovers for the corolla that attach to the rear shock mounting point, but its not very strong and usually needs to be reinforced

Actually there are alot of people running them without reinforcements, but in my opinion as a semi-educated engineer, I would say it would need to be reinforced. Even is the metal is not cracking, it is probaly flexing and creating internal stresses that will lead to fatigue down the road. It would probably be fixed by just adding a extra thickness of metal around the towers and a cross bar (can't really call its a strut bar since it does have struts in the rear) thrown in there for good measures.

As for the Cressida, it kicks all kinds off ass! the MX73 needs to be a wagon o' doom!
