    That'd be a definite no.

        Arse end off an Aspire is a direct 'bolt on' fit. Anything and everything else is a lot of work.

          If it's white with black interior then it's a direct swap, but if it's white with dark grey interior then everything is completely different. I'm not certain on the other color combos, but I heard red is the fastest and green is organic. Just sayin'

              Aspire springs and shocks will lift the car not quite 2". The beam does nothing for ride height.
              Skoda Garde ('81-'84) rear suspension is a direct swap though, you just have to cut a small (3') hole in the trunk floor.

                Bunch of jokers! Aspire rear beam is almost identical to a Festy beam except for a built-in (and questionable improvement) torsion bar, larger brakes and desirable 4 x 100mm (instead of Festy 4 x 114.3) wheel bolt pattern. If you keep your Festy shocks and springs they'll bolt right on but the spring perches on the shocks will likely interfere with tires that are higher than OEM Festy. If you use the Aspire springs and shocks the back of the car will lift about 1 1/2-2 inches further off the ground. I have that exact arrangement on one of my cars at the moment (including uncut Aspire springs) so this is not hearsay advice.
