Welcome to the site! As stated above, the Aspire rear axle beam has a small round rod added to it, tucked up inside the "taco" shaped torque beam. It acts in the same manner as a rear sway bar. The Festy axle doesn't have this feature (but it could be added).
Also, the Aspire front hubs are constructed differently than a Festy. They are more like modern FWD applications in that the brake rotor can be easily removed and/or replaced without complete disassembly. The Festiva has the brake rotor attached to the hub assembly. You have to remove the entire hub and disassemble it (using a press) to replace or turn the brake rotors. So........better handling, better brakes, easier maintenance & better wheel availability.Brian

Welcome to fordfestiva.com JR.
Haven't done an Aspire suspension swap so I can't help you there, but I've never been without at least one Festiva since 1990, so I know a little about how things wear out and the little thing that go wrong with them.

Yes they do. However, if you see one rocking, you might want to wait until it stops, and the windows de-fog, before you invite them to the site!:sex:Originally posted by jrwitten View PostIn love with a MadScientist!:thumbright:

We are sorry you are a dork. At least you fixed the stuttering. Having a Festiva will not improve other people's opinion of you tho. Except for us, but we are dorks too.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

You can also use your Festy as a kind of Litmus test....to weed out the truely good people from the rest of society. If they make fun of you for owning one they are either closed-minded, ignorant, foolish or a combination of all three.Brian
