    I'm in Hawaii. I appreciate your offer but the Pacific is a substantial obstacle. I'm sure there will be a closer member who is close enough to get the parts and is in need, Thanks.

      From what I have gathered, the escort calipers work with auto Aspire rotors. Are there any escort calipers that work with manual Aspire rotors?

      Are any other compatible calipers that are low priced? The main reason that I want to run escort calipers is to save a few bucks. Being budget friendly is a big part of the appeal with Festivas for me.

        The auto rotors are 235mm diameter.
        Manual ones are 225mm

        Both are already a big upgrade from the standard.
        I wouldn't bother with the 10" rotors or escort calipers unless you're interested in pulling endos. ;p

        Seriously. You will notice a huge difference as is.
        Try and aim for the auto set up. May as well get the better set.

        I'm sure they won't get cheaper than aspire brakes. I don't know about Hawaii. But over here (Australia) nobody wants them. Practically giving them away.

          How plentiful are '00-'02 Kia Rios (open the hood, look at the strut bolts; should only be two bolts, not three)?

            I've been looking for 00-02 Rios but haven't been successful although I've only been searching for a month. I've seen several of the newer ones for sale as parts cars though.
