Geo metro springs ??

[canadianfestiva]

Does anyone know if geo metro springs will fit on festivas? geo metro, chevy sprint, suzuki swift?? Any of those fit the festiva?

I have a Metro, If i get a chance I'll measure the O.D.'s of the spring on the front and back to see if they are even close to the festiva.

Well i measured both last night, but then forgot my piece of paper I wrote them on this morning....
from memory: Festiva Front springs are about 4.25" overall diameter and compress to about 7". Rears are 4" and compress to about 8".
91 Geo Metro Fronts are 6" in Diameter and compress to 7" and rears are 4.25" and compress to 6.5"..... i think thats right, or close anyway...

So, the Geo metro Fronts are 6" in diameter, you'd have to do some welding/fabricating for this application to work...
also note, that the rear in the Geo have springs separate from the shocks.... not inside like all 4 of the festiva and the geo fronts.
hope this helps! Let us know if you end up doing the mod!

That's too bad. what about the diahatsu charade, and the dodge colt? Just trying to think of similar style cars that werent tanks. I wonder how much it costs to have a springset custom made, if you give the inside and outside diameter, and number of coils. Eibach is located in my town.

I can't vouch for the charade or colt..
for the money, i'd these lowering springs would be your best option... http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=17143
custom is going to rack up the $
