    aspire LCAs and i might need a little longer cv axles eventually and escort gt tie rod ends because the festy tie rod ends felt like they are out to the max and the cv axles would work fine but mine were bad already and they sound worse now but the stock cv axles would work. I mean right now i am running aspire LCAs and festy tie rod ends and festy cv axles and i have been driving for a few weeks now with no issues.but if you have festy LCAs you can see the camber is to far off the adjust with a bolt ( \ / ) and the aspire LCAs pretty much make it really close to perfect.

        I like the idea of widening the front track, but I don't like the idea of running Aspire control arms with Festiva axles. I'd worry about certain circumstances pulling them out from the transaxle.

        If I were you Rhode, I'd go with Aspire axles to see how they do.

          Only using Rio struts, that is it. Sorry about not making that clear. I will do the rest of the Rio swap in the future.
