      I beg to differ on that. The Festiva lower control arm should be used. It's the Aspire outer tie rod ends that are required. I believe the Aspire arms are longer than the Festiva's and would cause issues with the axles. I use Festiva arms on my Aspire swapped car.

        Good catch on the correction. You use the Aspire LCAs when you do the Capri front knuckle/brake swap.
