99 Kia sturts??

[photoeye0]

So a guy I work with has a 99 Sephia and it needs struts BAD!!! And the catalog at work doesn't list much. But alot of the specs look similar to the BG's. It looks like we might have to change the strut mounts, the newer Kia's top plate baring I.D. looks way to big. He's also looking at getting into some autoxin, so I automatically thought about trying to fit up some ZX-2 strut and H&R's. Does anybody have the siltiest idea if they'd fit?


I just told him I'd ask.
Thanks for lookin'

No, but you can try taking one side off and taking it to the auto parts store and comparing it with one for the ZX2 or other model.

I was just going to fit up one side with my ZX-2 and H&R's. I just wanted to see if anyone knew if they fit for sure, before I went through all the work.

if i had to guess i'd say no, because the BG based sephia ended in 97. from 98+ they were 100% kia... but you might get lucky who knows.

I was thinking the same thing but the stock pictures in the computer look damn close. I know it's not the best way to compare parts. I also looked at some of the engine internals and few other random part, I found a ton of the same part #'s they even list the motor as a BP. I'm just going to have to bit the bullet and jack the cars up and swap parts, ain't I?
