  • Buying a aspire brake swap?

    So there is a guy here around me that is parting out a aspire, I asked about buying the whole brake system and MC, he said $50 and its all mine. Good deal?

      No, it's not a good deal. It's a GREAT deal!!!

        Awesome! I didn't know if it was worth it, but I looked around and saw people paying 100+ so I'm gonna buy it!

          Go forth and multiply your braking system, my son, with crazy cheap Aspire parts!!

          (Ask about the Aspire wheels, too. May as well get them for a spare set if you need 'em.)

            I didnt even think about the wheels! Thanks, that would save me some time trying to find wheels. I think I will buy them with my next paycheck!

                Is there something better about the aspire front sway bar?

                  I believe they are more stiff, so better handling.

                    deal of a lifetime. rotors and rebuilt calipers alone cost way more and you aren't getting the spindles or bearings, or their labor. Need we go on?

                      You might want to get the handbrake cable, too. It is a slightly better fit on the Aspire rear axle and will be a tad newer.

                      If you think you'll need an extra fuel tank, the 2 door Aspire is a direct fit for EFI Festivas. (NOT the four door, though.)

                      If his front seats are in really good shape, you might consider swapping out your front seat covers as well.

                      Extra nuts, bolts, various other little doodads, etc. may also come in handy in the future. Get 'em from him while they're reasonably priced!

                      At any rate, good score!

                        For a car that was confirmed to be running recently I'd pay 250 for the whole aspire if you have room at home to have it there until its gutted.

                              Is there any other reason to have it besides the brake swap? I know about the fuel tank and springs, but I really don't need them
