Thanks gusys for all your help... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I've tried that suspension company here in Aus, looks like they have a 3 inch spring and shock system...looks promising but a bit pricey. At the same time I have contacted Everet to see if a upyourkia set up will work on what I currently have installed.
P.S. I will finally get around to posting those pics later this arvo, I will have one of my CB radio which I'm very proud of, basically looks like it came stock. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
Hi FORSKIA,
What was the damage and what was included in the complete kit? PM me if you like. I have been meaning to ring them for a while and I would like to find out if the 3 inch kit would fit a little bum.
Cheers, Chris
Hi Chris,
It's not so much a kit, basically just some longer springs (front and rear) 3" and some longer shocks for the rear from a brand that I've never heard of. They say that you can use the original front strut (as they don't have a larger one), but this will mean that you will extend the front strut very quickly with any sort of front wheel airtime and have very little articulation. Damage is $330 for the springs and $120 for the shocks. They are Dobinsons coils

Regards,
FOURSKIA

P.S. I posted this new subject because I wanted to see what was available to the guys living in Aus in terms of a medium lift without too many mods. I will post my results in the already established 'Lifting a kia...' section once I decide which way to go about it.
I read somewhere on this forum that Everett has an ajustable panhard rod, 2002 Sporty is trying a different backspacing on the wheels...my question is, does any of these things stop the rubbing?
