    Yes I have the same exact wheels, and with good rubber. $275 is a great deal! I paid $280 for my set, brand new, no tires. Make sure you get the hub rings that came with those wheels so they are centered to the hub when you go to install them.

    Festiva stock bolt pattern is 4x114.3. According to the ad, they are dual pattern and should fit. I believe there is at least one person on here with those wheels on their car. Maybe they will add their opinion to this.

    I quit finally being stupid about the steering issue, fixed it and drove the s### out of it.

I'll just order the Moog LCAs from rockauto once I see the Dormans getting bad. At least then I can just use the Dorman bushings on the MOOG LCAs since they haven't been on there long enough to need replacing.
    The good thing about AZ was I just drove down and swapped them out. Dude pulled on the ball joint to see how loose it was, and it came apart in his hand.
    :eeeeeek:

    Imma order in some Moogs soon to have on hand, my tie rod ends are already Moog.

    The kicker? I am hoping they are getting better! They have a lifetime warranty, and I am about to run them in now.

    I installed Dorman control arms from rockauto earlier this year. I will just have to be mindful of them now. But heck, the ones I pulled off the car were Dorman as well, and they were on the car for a while because they were the ones that were on the car when I bought it.

    I'll just be sure to put some quality ones on when these eventually fail.

    I just replaced both LCA's along with the sway bar to LCA bushings with Moog parts. I replaced all 4 struts with KYB's, new coil over springs, Energy Suspension bushings on the front of the sway bar.
