  • Replacement coils for festiva... Help please

    I need help.... I have a soft coil (driver side) so she's got a nasty sag. I've replaced the struts a month ago along with basically the whole front end due to age & wear. I've searched the threads for replacement coils & still can't get the info i need. No longer doing the aspire/rio swap since I've invested in all new festy parts. I know aspire coils work but gotta cut to get stock height. Would front Rio coils work? If anyone could chime in & drop some deets on coil info. Thanks. I'm going to a junk yard tomorrow & I know they have a few Rios for pickings.

    Rio will be even taller . I'm sure someone here has a spare spring they would give you.

      Rio springs are gonna be overly stiff! And cutting off about one coil on these in order to achieve stock height is going to make the whole setup even more bone-jarring. Doesn't FourGreen out of Korea stock Festy/121/Pride springs for ridiculous low prices? Bravekozak is quite familiar with ordering from these guys.

        I'm running 175 pound springs on 2 of my cars on the front. Not sure if the Rio's would have a higher rate than those. Mine rides and handles great.

          Haven Ford shows 2 new. they are for 1988 so are probably less stiff than ones from a 1990 w/ ATX & AC. 620-465-2252. E8BZ5310A.
