  • Question about the brake lines

    Since I'm gonna do the Aspire brake swap should I buy the Stainless steel brake lines for the Festiva or the Aspire? Which one would be the easiest fitment?

    Thanx
    Is that a Festiva that just passed me?!?!?!

    Buy the Aspire Stainless Braided Line kit from FMS... Mine fit perfectly and is perfect for the Festiva to Aspire brake/hub swap... Very happy with the product.. -Kyle

      Kyle's right. Either kit will fit your hard lines at the body, but only the Aspire hoses will hook right up to your Aspire calipers. The banjo "prong extensions" are different from Festiva to Aspire.


      I'm not putting SS hoses on Lux this spring when I do the swap (my second one) simply because I already have new (stock) hoses and I'm saving "all out performance" stuff for my next Festiva.

      I hope to buy that one next spring or summer. A '93 5 speed in the best body condition I can find, preferably dark blue. That one will get the SS brake lines and other goodies.

      Not sure what I'll name it. Speedstiva or Dreamstiva? Don't know yet.

      It'll come to me. 8)

        Call it Speedstiva, that way it will be more "real" than just a dream!
