      what's the worst that can happen?? Go ahead, ask me how many times I've seen those BREAK THE SPRING!!! Then that corner collapses, cuts the tire, and the resulting blowout causes you to swerve into a ditch, or worse, oncomining traffic...

      Do yourself a BIG favor, and go get the rubber coil spacers instead. They're MUCH safer!

        Lol... The last thing we need is a dead Sasquatch!!

        I can understand taking those risks in Manitoba or Saskatchewan... The worst thing that'll happen here is you'll go into a ditch then into some farmer's field...

        But you'll fall off a bloody mountain!!

                rubber coil spring spacer. They'll do the same thing as those metal ones, but without causing focused stress points on the coils.

                          it was out of a first gen 323. a nice bit of info... if you take the emblem out and its all "foggy"/"dirty" like mine was, take some car polish to it.... i know it sounds stupid but it works great look at the diff in the pic when i was taking it out to the one when im holding it up next to the mazda one... i tried polishing it inbetween the pics and it turned out realy nice but i still went with the mazda one lol...

                            Oh wow I thought it was new. And no its not a ford, they just sold it for Mazda :tongue3:. I immediately de-ford my festivas when I get them and restore the car's dignity with the proper Mazda badging.

                              At a local car meet I was able to convince about 80% of the people there it was a imported mazda. It was all the same..."this is just a festiva thats been re badged, oh wait the steering wheel says mazda too. Its the real deal" lol.
