  • auto to manual aspire upgrades...

    I know the auto aspire's have bigger brakes than the manuals. Would this be a worth while upgrade? Also it seems like i've heard the sway bar is thicker? I'm looking at maybe doing some SCCA events this summer so every little bit will help.

    I measured some Raybestos PG rotors and the manuals are 3 pounds lighter than the auto rotors. That's 1.5 pounds difference per side.

    On a Festiva, I just doubt that you'd really need the extra thickness of Aspire ATX rotors.
