Lowering Springs?

[darpien]

best bet is go overseas get them from the uk or japan if you can speak/read it or maybe germany it might be hard to do it that way to if you can't speak/read it although you might be able to find it on ebay germany.

Yeah, lets all do that. Let's all learn to speak Vietnamese and hop on the next plane to the other side of the world and buy springs for our Festivas and avoid getting them right here from FMS for $185.00. I'm sure it's going to save me so much money and make Darpien so happy if everyone did that.

It would be easier than trying to get them from FMS.

Does anyone know who supplies the springs to FMS?

[Guest]

ok guys.. take your beef to the arena..

[darpien]

at first i was told it was b-g but then i was told it wasn't so i am not sure but the link to the first site i supplied for the apex sport springs will work with our cars just make sure to get the Mazda 121 Type DA 88 - 91 ones the others won't work. the second link i believe it would be the first set of springs the ones that are a 40mm drop and titled "Mazda 121 1.1/ 1.3 88>02/91 (357) (CD Spring kit ref. 50-020)" i could be wrong though so e-mail them to be sure i did send them an e-mail to see if they have anything else not listed on their site.

You were told by who? The fact is you don't know. The FMS springs are made just for them, and to there specs so your unlikely to find them anywhere else. Do you think there is some sort of huge aftermarket, even in other countries, for a small economy car? Dream on, 99% of the time FMS either makes what they sell in house, or its made exclusively for them. They have been around for going on seven years so they are doing something right. Thanks to FMS there is actually some aftermarket support for these cars and there are more parts available for the Festiva and Aspire than there are for a lot of more popular cars.

You were told by who? The fact is you don't know.

And we're being told by who?
So where is FMS?

[darpien]

yeah ok travis i guess you don't know anything about our cars the festiva is a mazda 121 by design. mazda wanted to release it in the us but ford said no but they had kia produce them and imported them and put their name on it that is what a festiva is. It is a Mazda 121 or a Kia Pride or a Ford Festiva if you want to keep fighting me go for it but you are wrong if you say it won't fit because it will. All three cars share the same body which is the DA body code which means that all the parts are the same and this is why you can get Kia Pride front lights and grille or Mazda 121s as well as euro spec rear tails I mean they didn't produce "Ford Festivas" any where else except here. This is why I could troll ebay Germany and find parts for my car as long as I match up the right year. As long as you make sure that you match the correct years for the mazda 121 88-90 or the Kia Pride which from what i could tell from ebay Germany they made them well into 96 by looking at one of the cars for sale there thats a "Festiva".

a distinction between 30mm and 35mm lowering. what a joke...
Look, I am actually from Germany and lost count of companies that listed DA parts without actually carrying them.
I went from polish suppliers to UK manufacturers with poor results.
Be happy to have a festiva specific supplier and not to have restrictive institutions like TÜV.
