  • feeling low

    i just ordered a new set of AC DELCO shocks for the front and rear for my 92 festi and was wondering is there a way i can lower the car, not much only about 1 inch, its still running a set of stock 13" wheels

    FMS has the Festiva lowering springs which are supposed to lower it about 35mm.

    You should check around your own country to see if anyone still offers lowering springs for your car.

    If not, get some later model Festiva (Aspire) springs from the junkyard and cut them down about 1.5 to maybe 2 coils. I cut mine either 1 or 1.5 coils and got stock ride height in my '89L.

    You'll get some nice firm springs doing that, too.
