    I've wondered that myself. I think there's a good chance they may fit, but no one will know for sure until they measure and/or fit some 323 springs.

      I'll check the yard up the street tomarrow. maybe they won't be arses and at least let met use a caliper to take measurements.

        i can tell you mow...323/laser 80-86 front struts bolt on they are a tight fit at the top but with sum hammer bashing to the metal around the top mount they will easily clear...our ones were rubbing so we had to remove
        sum bolts that get in the way (minor earth strap bolt and fuse box bolts)
        they give u between 1/4 in -1/2 in extra ride height but there much stiffer and take out alot of body roll..

        rear springs off a honda prelude 96-98 fitted after taken one and a half turns of the bottom of the spring . again adding about the same height to the ride as the 323 assembly's did on the front...

        over all the festie has hardened up and holds the road much better

          Sounds like you could make older 323/Tracer front struts work, eh?

          I might be happy just to use the springs.

          I wonder if rear 323/Tracer springs fit within the Festiva/Aspire strut perches?

            any info someone has on springs, just drop here. I'm going to start compiling a list of what will work, and any moding to do so. So there will be a quick reference for everyone.
