[Festiva GTX]

What's different lug bolts and studs? It make any better or just same?

[25Horseplay]

Instaed of bolts you use studs like almost very other car out there. You only put a nut on the stud. Keeps wheels lined up better.

I have finally installed upgrade with the aspire auto brake/drums swap on my festiva and it makes big different! I did ordered 6 spacer plates which was need on stock festiva brake but now I don't need them!

here what's different using with aspire braking/drums:

1. No spacers plate required for my new wheels and not even one!
2. It increase some stopping power but it can be done better if i swap bigger the brake booster.
3. handing on hard curve roads somewhat better now.
4. The emergency braking handle if I pull up little hard it will locking both rear wheel pretty fast (Probably my old festiva rear emergency braking worn out.)

Here pictures you can see... I know it need some lowering for better looking ... :?

I do have the wheel spacers on the back of my G'Tiva because the the 195/50/15's rud alittle on the spring perch. I have had them on for about 5000 miles since last summer and I did drive the car kindof ruff. They are the universal ones, but I used liquid nail on the hubs to keep them centered. I will have to keep an eye on them now.
