  • Festiva springs

    Does anyone make stiffer "stock" height springs for the Festiva? I would like a slightly stiffer ride. FMS spings i've seen listed lower the car.

    You can cut aspire springs to achieve that. They're stiffer since aspires are heavier.
    -93' L BP swap/e-series, coilovers, RIO front swap, redrilled festy drums, Miata 14" 7 spokes.

        The FMS springs do NOT stiffen up the ride. I bought two sets of them, and had to sell them because they were too "bouncy"
        90 Festiva with Brand new B3, 5spd
        92 B6 Festiva, 5spd
        94 Mustang DSS 331, Vortec S-Trim, 5 spd

          Doesnt have to be Festiva, diameter and length are what you care about. I got tired of bottoming out with even load groceries in back. Measured and looked on ebay. Found some front springs out of some old Triumph cheap that matched pretty close. Since they were intended to support an old cast iron engine, they are overkill for the rear of a Festiva, but I can put several 50 pound bags animal food in back and not bottom. Empty, its a rough ride on unpaved roads though.

              haha yeah i need some stiffer rear springs too. Anytime I accelerate the rear bumper seems like its going to drag on the ground.
