    Ok well basically I already know that there are alot of LCA's available off of other toyotas to suit 86/70/71, but I was wondering if anybody knew if these arms would fit onto a mx73 cressida in the same way or if there are longer replacement rods available.

    FYI, I have searched but found zilch on cressida's

    Cheers y'all

    MX73 arms will be alot longer than any of the longer arms that are used for the ae86.

    Go to a pick-a-part wrecker with a tape measure, you'll find something.

    Maybe MX83?
    You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?

    yeah mx73 arms are pretty long id dare say if you put anything thats any upgrade on a 70/86 would be shorter

    My guess would be that the point where it mounts on the crossmemeber is also thicker

    you guys have it wrong (no offence)

    mx73, mz10 & ma61 are all excatly the same and rather short arms, probley some of the shortest ones you can get for a large toyota.

    they measure 280mm long from what i measures compaird to ke70 which is... 310mm?

    ill confirm that mx83 ones are longer by 20mm i think (will check with the ones i got at home) you just need to redrill the castor rod and swaybar holes and your away, it runs a similar ball joint to the s13 and x73 so you should be right to run the same BJ. and the bush is a little different but slots in no worries (from what ive been told, i need to install mine )

    i did alot of searching when i was looking into my s13 gear, can be found here.

    Cheers for the help people, just realised I posted this in tech articles instead on tech questions lol
    A 20mm increase sounds decent enough, trying to think what the difference was with the s13 ones on my 31. The car is going to be a daily so nothing to extreme :2thumbs:
