  • aspire/escort mix up (brake question)

    okay so ive got the aspire front spindles but Ive read that the escort calipers will work so here is my questions.

    1. what is the best caliper to use auto or manual?
    2. which rotor do you use with the escort calipers? (aspire, or escort)
    3. which pads would you use? (aspire, or escort)

    thanks in advance -dan

    This is my guess i by no means know the answers but i think you would need to use aspire rotors and escort pads.

    if you could use escort pads that would be awesome because then you could use hawk brake pads and have killer brakes in a festiva

      thats what i think also and the escort calipers are cheaper and accept bigger pads
