Those parts look better than what you can buy at the parts houses. That's a job very well done!

No Aspire is 4x100, Festiva is 4x114.3, the advantage is bigger brakes, front and back. And most of the time it is easier and cheaper to find 13" tires then it is to find 12".Originally posted by ShagFestiva View Post'90 LXComment

are these the only parts needed for a aspire swap? i dont know much about this stuff. if pictures could be provided of what i need it would help me get there. my brakes are starting to get bad, alot of vibrating when hard braking, pulling when braking etc. i dont want to replace the festy parts i want to do the swap.

^^Those, the Aspire rear beam and E-brake cable, and the Aspire outer tie rod ends, I believe.
For your reading enjoyment.
Fresh, those are so, so sexy. You definitely take your time and do it right. Nice work. :thumbright:

the sway bar is a choice, not necessary for the brake swapOriginally posted by sasquatch View Post
just for clarification for newer members

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

^ right, but if you can get one i would highly recomend it... if you own a 5 speed car it should fit no problem... if you have a "F" or "G" trans in your car your motor mount may be in the way... and if you have a auto trans in your car it may be a PITA to fit... i had trouble fitting one and just gave up...
