Thanks Hydra, but my Kia can only handle an approx 1.5 inch... 3inch is way too much for her. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

But I'll keep that in mind if I can't find anything else, might be an option if I put back the original spring.

P.S. I have tried 'UPYOURKIA' about 2 weeks ago, but no response.


Cannot find an email from you...
What is the maximum amount of lift do you need as of now with all your changes? Do you need 1 or 1.5 or 2"?
Let me know and I'll see what I can come up with.

Hi Everet,

I had sent it through your website email from memory...but back then it was just a general inquiry into what parts you have availiable/are still making.
In terms of the exact hieght 1.6 inch or something very close to that would be what I require if you have some already made. if you are willing to make some from scratch then I would like to measure it exactly and get back to you on that. Also could you PM me the price(s).

Cheers, <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Just a quick update, Everet <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" /> has been very helpful and is fixing me up with some spacers. I've orginised the springs/shocks for the rear here in Aus. Looks like I'll get that extra inch after all. I will update with photos once everything arrives.
Got a new grill aswell so it should look a bit more <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" /> combined with the extra height.

Yeah, but I want to get this stuff in... then I might look at some body spacers (see what I can get away with here in Aus <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />)... then hopefully some 32's will be fitted. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> But all of this will take a while... hopefully over the next 3 months.

Well just another update a few more questions for you guys.
I'm waiting on some spacers from Everet but as I know these custom made items take time... and unfortunately I'm running out of time (I start my new job in another state at the end of next month) and I have already paid for the rear springs and shocks to be fitted. If Everet is unable to get the spacers to me soon I will have to ask the suspension shop to make me some front springs aswell so i don't lose my money (these things are made to order so no refunds <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> ). I'm worried if I do need to get the longer front springs ( i think I'll only end up with approx 1 inch of movement/articulation) the suspension shop doesn't recommend this... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
has anyone fitted longer springs to the original front strut or the same size KYB? If so any probs?

Secondly, once I get thsi shorted I'm looking to get some body spacers fitted in Melb... I see that Roger Brown (I think) sells these...anybody know if they fit on a longbody sporty? If so...how easy are they to install, i read the instrct and it says that you should replace the nuts on the rear then do the front...but wouldn't that bend the thread/bolts or worse break it as you lift the front? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

This guy http://www.4wheelnoffroad.com/04body.html didn't replace any of the nuts as he went along...I would og thought this to be the best way as to not break or bend the threads/bolts.

Anyway any feedback would be appreciated.
