  • quick brake swap question

    i'm goin to be getting the aspire brake swap and i'm not sure if there is a difference in master cylinders, i'm assuming that the fesiva master will work but i thought i'd check before getting all the new brakes on and relizing i need the master from the aspire

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

        Is it possible to use the aspire master cylinder or a master from another vehicle instead of the festiva one for even better braking?

          Most Mazda m/c's will fit but my aspire brakes are so powerful with the festiva m/c I never thought of trying.

              If I had wider tires on the blue car I bet I could get the rears off the ground.
