      Oh, no. I wish. I'm not sure who's it is. I found that pic a long time ago. I should probably get that changed.

      When I do get the coilovers I won't be able to test them. The engine is out of my car right now and I doubt I'll have the BP in and running by end of April. I'm a complete newb when it comes to mechanics.

          Would it be possible to offset the top hole that you have to drill to add positive camber? It doesn't look like there is enough metal there to drill outwards some more.

          I have too much negative camber.

            These are for Gen 2 Festiva's, but there is a possibility that they MIGHT FIT.

            try here, but you might think differently about the price, however, it does have damper adjustment with 32 positions (similar to tein, but not green and no EDFC)

              found this thread...being a vw guy you should go with racelands...rokkors are made to be more stiff and gauged for mostly vr6's so you take all that weight into consideration. theyre pretty much the same cost. and i believe raceland goes lower now. and aslong as you dont slamm it right away they last long. there is also tuning art and rsk coils which you can find on ebay will run you 360 shipped instead of 360 plus shipping for raclands just bought my second festy three days ago and throwing my coils on it in a week btw whats the bolt pattern on this 4x 100 or 108? good luck with your finds
