  • Question or 2

    Is a manual Aspire front swaybar the same diameter as an auto Aspire swaybar?

    If you had a manual Aspire for parts, would you go ahead use the parts off of it to do the brake swap, even though auto car parts would be better?

    not sure about the first question but YES to the 2nd one. They are still a big improvement and the differance is not that great to say no to the manual parts if that is what you have.

      I'm sure you know the differences between the auto and manual aspire brakes, i would prefer the manual brakes for the simple reason that with the rotors being not as thick would mean less rotating mass, but the thicker auto ones would be more durable, it'd be more of a preference thing since either works awesome on a festiva

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

        I've been asking about the manual vs auto Aspire sway bar difference for the last two years. I have yet to measure them myself, but everything I've read says that there is no difference.
