    that pic isn't for cressida that's for sure, the rates look fairly high but probably ok if you're just into drifting.

    Look for reviews all over the net. People seem to be very happy with them for what you pay for them.

    12kg front, 8kg rear is about where its at for the mx83/jzx81 coilovers. JIC use the same rates in their coilovers for the mx83

    just check with just jap whether the mx83 set comes with the stub axle or if you have to get yours cut and welded on... could be lookin at a bit more cost if you have to weld yours on.

    Penrith Wholesale Suspension will make a set up to your specs if you want them to. Everybody says you can't get coilovers for MX83 but they're out there, you can't get CHEAP coilovers for MX83. Not ones that aren't clapped out anyway.

    I want to go either slightly harder on the rear than 8, or drop the front springrate down a little, it doesnt feel as balanced as i think it should be

    but it would be interesting to see if they do make a bolt in cressida coilover, aside from the japanese variants that cost an arm and a leg and are difficult to find bits for.
