I was wondering....

... If these rotors would fit on my Festiva? It has those solid stock rotors on there now.

I wouldn't think so because I think Festiva rotors are pressed in. Some one smarter than me is going to confirm or deny this.

Yes ! They will fit but you have to break the bearings down !

TOO MUCH WORK. do an aspire upgrade and youll be set or ask about a capri brake swap. much more support here for that kind of thing

I will be doing the Aspire swap but not now. Too much time and money is needed. I will need a clutch and some re-wiring done also.

I was just wondering about those one rotors.

Questions to ask: what motor are you running and what kind of stopping power do you need? The aspire swap I have on my BP car will shut that thing down when I need it too. Another question is: what size are those rotors? I looked at the ebay add and couldn't figure how big are those rotors? I know the add says its for a Festiva but its ebay and ebay is hard to trust. If you have stock 12s or even 13s there are not too many aftermarket places that support rotors that small. Most stock rotors are bigger than our wheels now. I could be wrong about all this stuff I'm saying so maybe someone else more knowledgeable should step in from here. I still consider myself a noob here

Also it would really help if you put a location. Help could be a phone call away and God love you if your lucky enough to be by dem Florida boyz because youll have a BP or a b6t in your car before you can blink. God bless dem FLboyz

The pictured rotors are of the 'floating' and vented type (ie for more modern cars (even including Aspires and Rios)) and not like the archaic Festy 'integral with the hub' solids. "Floaters" are held by 2 screws (which are not even essential) whereas the Festy jobs require releasing the driveaxles and pulling the bearing-filled hubs off in order in order to get at the backside rotor bolts.

Thanks for all of the advice ..... it helps!
I'm near the Cincinnati Ohio area.
Sounds like I need to get to know those FLboyZ
