omg this is an awesome find!! haha!BlueBooger- Blue 91 Festiva L, Black 06 Lancer Evolution IX SE
I dont care who you are, you'll have fun in a Festiva. -
It would be intresting to see how this set up compares with an average aspire swap plus KYBs and FMS springs.

I remember seeing that article some time ago... It was either on the FMS site or the old FF.com site when Rich owned it...Simon - pimptiva.comComment

They added a sway bar in rear; aspire adds a sway bar in rear.
They added aggressive shocks; we have KYBs
They added stiffer and shorter springs; FMSs are shorter, but I am not sure about how much stiffer.
I wonder If that car is still in motor trend's possession. Maybe we could convince them to lend it to the Fordfestiva.com group for some testing.
Their car handles better than my 99 integra ls. Strange, I never thought the handling of a festiva could be so good with such little mods.
