  • Can aspire axles be used in a festiva (any combo)

    Reason: I have 4 axles, 1 of which is brand new. I don\t plan on getting another aspire (to drive anyway) Is my only alternative to sell them on the aspire site?

    Aspire axles are Very slightly longer. If I remember 1/4" or something like that. I used em in my festiva, but I was using aspire struts and spindles too. (with the aspire 5 speed)

      WHATTTTTTTTT? Perris? Another socal guy? Few and far between we are. I plan on using lots of aspire things, such as the 5 speed and full swap as well. How is it longer, more threads out of the hub, or is everything pushed out more? as long as it works with no binding then game on ill deal with it even if it looks funny. Wider wheels are the idea in the future as well.

        Everything would be pushed out more, not just longer threads on the axle; so they couldn't be used, since the LCA length and tie rod length determine the position of the knuckle.

          Hm so which is it? if i grab aspire control arms it works? New control arms cost less than more axles.

            You would still have the tie rod issue; so just pushing the knuckle out farther doesn't do it. Short answer, just use Festy axles, sell the Aspire ones.
