      NONE!!! it's awesome... i'm currently using the XR2 brakes and i've come across only 2 downsides: 1) you need 14" or larger rims (13" steelies won't work, i've tried... though they may work with the standard capri brakes), 2) they show you just how crappy your tires really are (i'd be willing to bet that with really sticky tires, i could get Scrappy to do an endo :p )
      Trees aren't kind to me...

      currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
      94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

        so you use the capri knuckle and brakes with the aspire control arms correct?

        and what year capri?

          any year capri will work. i recomend the XR2 if you can find them due to the larger swept area and greater mass (less chance of fading)

            i almost think we should sticky the info about protege/capri brakes working on the festiva as well as aspire swap

            1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
            1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
            2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

            1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

            If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                what about this.... Will this work if you have B6T from Capri with Capri Trans and capri brakes and suspension??? If you swap all that stuff but use control arm from aspire will everything work??? Only reason I am asking is when I attempted to use everything from Capri XR2, I ran into a problem where axle on passenger side would not fit because it was just a bit longer....if that makes any sense...

                Thanks.
