          I am in the process of doing a write up for my entire car (will post soon) that will
          have all my mods with pics and info but for now.

          KYB AGX from Mitsu Mirage at all four corners.

          Coilovers with 250 LB fronts and 220 LB rear.

          Aero Wheels 13x6 with Sumitomo HTR 200s in 175/50.

          Front camber 1 degree neg with 1/8 total toe out, rear stock.

          Slotted Rotors with Autozone pads all around (no aspire swap here).

          Stock motor (intake, exhaust, timing adv 5 degrees, 93 octane), no idle control
          or emissions except stock cat.

          Gutted to the bone (1820 LBS with me and full tank)

          Ride height 4.5" front 5" Rear, balanced 50.1% cross weights.

          Custom hardware store bracing.

          Over all it is a very balanced package, Suspension, Engine, Brakes and Tires are
          all in good proportion performance wise. Not too much of any one thing just a
          few steps up in all areas. I tried to keep the basic idea of the Festiva intact,
          a peppy lightweight little car that was fun and easy to drive. Each system just
          needed a little enhancement to make it a true performer. - Chris
