      I have no idea about any of those springs.

      Do you have Kia Avella or Kia Rio in Greece?

      The Avella is like our Ford Aspire. You could cut the front springs and use them for stiffer springs. Rear springs should be about the same, but newer.

      Kia Rio front springs may also work, but you need to cut them as well. 2001 and 2002 Rio front struts are bolt in and will work.

          You're welcome.

          Here's a link to my build thread, which has a lot of info and some links to more info if you want to learn about Rio front struts and cut Aspire springs:



          Note that I no longer recommend cutting rear Aspire springs if you want to carry heavy loads with larger tire diameters.
