strut mount question

[FestYboy]

which front strut mounts should i buy, i seem to remember reading something about the KYB units not fitting correctly, is this true? where's the best place to get them?

thanks,
Arty

KYB GR2's and they fit fine. Check with http://www.festivamotorsport.com/

I have kyb gr2 in my car and they fit almost no problem (one side it was a little tight to for the hub mounts). Cant tell you how they are yet though. :roll:

GR2s aren't even really a performance strut (when compared to other performance struts), just something that is slightly better then stock.

PS Festyboy is talking about the front upper strut mount, and KYB apparently makes a strut mount for the Festiva.

[FestYboy]

yup, that's what I'm getting at, the mounts themselves.

I'm also wondering what to do about the worn out spring perches on my festy, i can't seem to find replacements anywhere. any ideas?

FMS has a high durometer replacement.. I have replaced sets on both my red and black Festivas..

[Silv3rBull3t]

Any difference??

[Guest]

didn't really have anything to compare them to since both sets were pretty much in need of replacement.

[Silv3rBull3t]

Well mine are about due for replacement, would I notice a difference if I replaced them? -Kyle

LOL.. kind of hard to tell how well they helped since I put them on at the same time as my KYB GR-2s and FMS springs.

[Silv3rBull3t]

Oh, ok... Well maybe if I get 'em I can tell you guys if there is a difference... -Kyle

Pillow ball mounts = no rubber.

Thanks :wink:

This is something I made last year... I was just fooling around at first, but then I went and used actual dimensions... so these should fit the Festiva (and BF 323s) perfectly if I had them produced.

They will work only problem is your going to lift the car like 2 inches if you make them flat like that.

Thanks :wink:

I would be interested in a set if you have them produced!
