Since I just ordered my FMS springs, and struts, and also found an Aspire at the scrapper I'll be doing the suspension and brake swaps within the next month or so at school. I can give a good write up and post alot of pics if anyone is interested..

I would definitely be interested in taking a look at some pics of the whole process. I am in the planning stages of making the same swap, and don't really have a Real;l god idea of where I should start.

I got my first Festiva a week ago. I signed up here yesterday. From what I can tell this swap is the thing to do. YES I would be interested in the whole process. Yes I am new at this so I will try and learn as much as possible before I ask a repeated question.-BryantComment

It'll be over the next few weeks depending on when I can get my ccar on a lift at the school and leave it there a few days.. since I'm re-doing all the brake lines.Comment

Don, this would be great. The rest of us could then check your work and chime in with additional details & problemsolving ideas to make it a very comprehensive guide to the suspension/brake swap.
