    I am clueless!

    Ok I have original everything on my 93 festiva, and my " baby red" as I call her feels like she is gone tip over sometimes when we ate in the wind! I have been reading through threads about suspension and wheel upgrades but not understanding where to start?

    I'd look into replacing suspension parts... Coils, shocks, ect....

    If you plan on keeping your "baby red" id look into the aspire/rio wheel swap.

        If you are looking for a great street/track suspension that won't break the bank or you just want an upgrade to the stock suspension this is for you. I will go over each step in the order that i did them. I am sure you could do them in another order however this is just what i did. I will give as much detail as i can. I will

          It's a very light car. Heavy wind will blow you around. If your struts are worn, it will be even more squirrelly. Make sure you have the proper air pressure in your tires, too.

            Wheels and tires make the biggest difference for the least amount of effort. I recommend 14x6 wheels with around 36mm offset and 165/55-14 Achilles Economist tires. This setup can be purchased very inexpensively if you shop around online. These tires do wonders for the cars stability and roadholding ability.

            Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.
