I did.. but now I dunno if it's possible..the suspenion of this car is REALLY REALLY soft. and it;s rear torsion beams, so can't stiffen it up.. putting the spare tire in the trunk drops the car 3/4"

Was going to do a wall with 3 DD9510's...gotta find something out for the suspension

I've owned 3 Festivas.. the festiva is really stiff compared to the renault. (I Had a BP swapped festiva with G25MR Trans) renault is torsion rods though... nothing to make it stiffer.

could weld in some steel...but im gonna take a wild geuss and say u probably wanna drive the thing...lol

you'll probably have to get into converting it to a small set of leafs or springs and use a rear axle out of something else and bastardize the car.

get some pics of underneath if u can, maybe it will strike up some ideas from someone
