    Finishing up yesterday, I replaced all 4 struts with kyb excel-g's, installed new Festiva Store lowering springs, tie rod ends, control arms, sway bar to control arm bushings(right side had failed causing serious torque steer to left on acceleration, right on deceleration and the inspiration for starting all this), and brake pads and had front end alignment done. The photos show the lowering between 2 92 Festivas with the same Metro wheels and Kumho tires, so that any difference in stance may be attributed to the springs.[ATTACH=CONFIG]18352[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]18353[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]18354[/ATTACH]
    Kumho tires?? where did you pick them up at?

    I replaced the driver rear metal brake line, and a new set of tires. Also installed my escort maplight.
    The escort map light may just be the best "unnoticed" mod to a Festy.

    Installed the Gorilla Automotive Parts wheel studs & lug nuts on the front .
    I had bought Empi studs but broke 2 when tightening the lug nuts, will not every trust Empi again , they were hollow.
    Gorillas are lifetime garunteed.

    Nice! REAL Festiva swoopies!

    SWRT ... Those are original 1990 LX swoopies (as they are called) Only found on that year/model. BUT! You can get nearly the same swoopies off early 90's Protege's, The base it straight along the window side, the Festy base is curved to match the window curve, Both can be used on a Festy

    Everything references off the centerline with the windshield washer tubing hole serving as true position.

    Took a pic with a polarizing filter.
    Wow, simply gorgeous.
