Truenotch Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Hi, I've moved this post into a more appropriate section for you. The Cressida and Crown are a very different platform to eachother. Cressida is a monocoque chassis and Crowns are a separate body and "ladder" chassis. We have quite a few members that will be able to help you - the crown chassis stayed practically the same for it's whole period of production... It's been covered before - do a search or click simon's link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 any after-market spring you use will lower it stuff all. Just get what ever springs you can afford or get cheap kings etc. In the front you can cut them until its sitting on the bumps and it will be captive, mine has about an inch of travel and is still captive. The rear will take abit more research as it will definitely not be captive. The top shock mount is abit gay (pull one out you will see), but there are other shocks with the same mount out there so look around, some may be shorter. Bumps will probably also need a trim, drive-shaft wont hit the floor or anything with severely chopped bumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 shocks on an gs126 or similar are different to a 60 series as in they dont have a cross pin. so recplacemnt shorter ones should be easy as for The rear. I just fitted shorter ones in my wagon easy. Also A good choice for springs that fit that you can cut are falcon springs like xf and all of those. Not so sure about the back though, but they fit in thr front for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 ^ oh yea forgot the later ones don't have the pin duh, so its easy then. Yea the falcon springs would be a good idea, the crown ones always seem notoriously soft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms123crownpimpmobile Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 shot for the info dudes.sweet il hit up takanini pick apart for coon springs for the front and figure something out for the rear.notorious soft crown springs for sure bro turning roundabouts e.t.c feels like i might roll it dont have to slow down at all all for speedbumps tho which is new for me my old jzz30 was a 1kph speed bump avoid at all costs scenario so thats abonus.got new wheels from chch coming next few days will put up some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 yeah, rear springs..... for some reason I think the top coil and bottom coil are different diameters. Could be wrong, but yeah just pull one out and go on a hunt. Will find part number of shock I have used in the wagon too if you want Mines captive at that hight, and doesn scrap on fuck all. So should be lower haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Yea the rear springs are different diameter top and bottom. You can still get kings and a few other brand springs for crowns, they will be firmer than factory. But the factory cut rears in mine are mint, even loaded up with 8 people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
