    what you need

    probably a lathe, some aluminum round stock 6160, and helper springs and couplers.

    the main problem is most of theses coilovers come with flat top hats and you
    will need a spacer to mount the stock strut bearing in so the spring is supported by the bearing and not the strut mount itself. also festivas have skinny shock shafts compared to most cars so you will need a bushing of some type to keep the top hat from rattling around (most coilover setups are generic fit, although ground control will make you a custom set). helper springs will keep the springs compressed against the perches so they dont come unseated at full droop.

    I have some pics of modified top hats on my car domain (at the bottom of the page).
    Nothing says "triumph of enthusiasm over physics" like a Front Wheel Drive race car.

      those are ground controls they are the best when it comes to coilover sleeves. They should fit, with alittle modification, nothing major.
