    Just got an update.... http://www.tein.co.jp/e/products/edfc_active.html

    All prices in japanese yen.

    The edfc compatible model is kind of a guessing game as there isnt a specific model for festiva or aspire...

    The demio models I'm not even 100% about and there are a basic compact model that will fit theoretically (following the family line of cars).

    Edfc compatibility seems to go for higher end tein setups, unless there's something I've overlooked.

        The kit thats for the DW3W is bolt on you have to find out if the suspension changed after 2002 I'm sure it has.. The Basic kit is GSM06-H1SS2 (DISCONTINUED)

        Have been thinking about making a custom set with Koni Sport inserts (lifetime warranty).

              That's a strange setup. I'm sure you'd have to cut parts of it off...

                it honestly depends what your looking for if you just want it low or if you want handling regardless it'll get better but how low do you want to go? racelands and rokkors will drop you 4" and as far as the post i saw about the s13 coils you know how heavy an s13 is compared to a festy the suspension wont drop nearly as much as it would on the correct car. which is why a mk2 setup would be the more proper of the setups dues to the weight similarity. you have to consider that. even when i put a cup kit on my golf it was suppose to drop 60/40 but was made for the weight of a vr6 in the front and my golf was a 2.0 and when i measured it was more of a 55/40..... so all in all if your going to look for another setup to mod and put on your car look for lighter weight cars because an s13 on coilovers rides bouncy and stiff enought as is so i could just seee your little festy rattling to pieces
