  • Front Coil Springs

    So two weeks ago I bought the parts to replace my cv axles, struts, and ball joints on the front of my 91 festiva. The struts did not come with new coils springs and I can not find any place to buy them anywhere I have looked on the internet, on top of that I can not find the specs for the festiva coil springs so I do not know the lb/in rate for my car. All that would have been moot if one of the springs had not cracked when we went to recompress them to place on the new struts. Now I need to find a replacement set, but I do not know which car brand might have equivalent coil springs. Any help would be much appreciated. Also, I am not looking to pimp out this ride, yet anyways, I just need something to get my girl back on the road again.

    Someone here will surely have a set. You could always try Ben @ the Festiva Store.

          People have substituted Kia Rio struts from junk yards. I think the springs are higher but can probably be cut down for your strut assemblies. Iinfo archived in this forum if you want do do a search and check it out.

              Springs

              My brother in law ordered a pair of struts for his car and thinks his coil springs might fit my car, so in a couple of weeks we will try that, if that does not work yeah, I would be willing to go to memphis it is only 90 mins away.

                Ok, i dont know of anyone in arkansas. But there is a map of festiva owners. Have a look and if you see someone close to you then you could pm them about springs to see if they have any. Heres the map

                Do you have a wrecker close to you with festivas or not?
