bigger brakes

Festy....are there any axle issues?

[FestYboy]

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 )

the capri calipers/knuckles bolt right in with the use of aspire control arms. You MUST use the aspire LCAs, festy arms are too short. you'll still have the stock bolt patern, just now with larger, vented rotors!!

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

and what year capri?

[FestYboy]

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

i thought it already was...

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.

that's why you use the aspire LCA's
