  • Springs

    What was the cheap and dirty I heard once upon a time.

    Put your Aspire front springs in the front on Festy and move the front Festy springs to the rear?

    I am doing the Aspire swap.

    Kartracer did it to Lucky, and I drove that car a few weeks ago. Drove like a DREAM!

      I always thought it would be a tight fit in the back with 4 1/8" dia springs. OEM at the back is 3 7/8. But if it works that's good news. The physics of springs is all black magic to me but I do know the FMS sport jobs I bought a couple of years ago are both too low and too stiff.

        It is tight, especially if you buy your struts at Advance Auto. I have one from there, and one from AZ. Each place had one in stock the day I did mine.

        So, the bottom perch on the one from Advance isn't flat, it "cups" and so the spring sits a little to one side. Works fine, though.

        I have front springs in the rear, but I have yet to do the Aspire swap, need a leetle more time! It did improve my handling though.
