      • The Raceland really didn't need much work to fit in the back. A little grinding. It was about the same effort as the kyb agx from a mirage. Might have updates tomorrow.

            Here you go guys,the bottom mount is a no brain er. But you have to make a Hat for the top ( Or work with the Black Magic Conical Hats). Don't try running the short shocks until you lower the fronts at least 2" though.

            KYB 343191 was orig ride quality for 90-95 Corrado
            Ext L =25.04,Comp L= 16.65, 8" Stroke

            KG9130 was "Increased Performance" strut for
            90-95 Corrado curb weight 2,668–2,809 lb
            Ext L = 25,Comp L= 17.32, 7.83 stroke


            KYB 341007 Excel-G Strut was OEM 83 VW Rabbit @ Amazon $33
            This is what I have now and they are working ok with 120 lb Black Magic Springs on my Aspire. Once I lower the front another 3/4" I'll switch over to 170lb in the rear.
            Ext L = 21.1 Comp L = 13.39, 7.72 Stroke
            Monroe equiv = 71202

            KG9105 is what I had and they worked good,but expensive...
            Cant find any info that says they were oem on any car??? These are what Charlie recommended.
            Seemed like they had slight MORE dampening than KYB 341007.
            Ext L = 21.0 Comp L = 13.93 7.12 stroke
            Nitro-
            ps Dont even waste your time with the Monroe's OMG terrible-

            • These are holding up very well I haven't seen them as cheap as I got mine but these are only $10.00 more each. I'm going to try the RIO KYB's for the front now.

                • First picture is cable clutch bracket with mustang cable. Pictures of routing dual cables for the disc brakes swap. This is the first festiva with FULLY functional disc brakes with parking brake! We used all escort gt parking cables fit like it was oem! Had to add a hold down bracket in the car. The egt cable fit the handle with out mods.

                            • There is a threw bolt. I wanted to make a dog bone there but was advised that would be an area where the motor could flex and not give much support.

                              • Yes Rob not sure what to do with that hose it's going to be hot unless we relocate radiator inlet and snake line behind motor?
