WTF lets just see if we can get a potentia shop manual.

To be honest, I'd be willing to become a dealer of these Korean parts. I will look into it in the next few days and see if I can set up a dealer account.

Let me know if there's anything you want me to do....I'm here for a few more days.

Haven't seen any Kia service centres yet tho. Over here the showroom is separate from the service/parts side. But be warned that things are expensive is Korea. I looked up those SMA coilovers and the retail is about US$1400. Might be able to get a couple of hundred off by shopping around tho.

If you are there and possibly have time to do extras then;

what are the chances of scoring a set of good used Potentia projector headlight assembly's ? and for roughly how much for the pair ?

Is the strut bar still availible and for how much ?

Is there any other parts availible worth mentioning ?

Is there any Kia Potentia car club websites ?

The coils overs as Dmeetro mentioned would be better off building a custom set so you can adjust the camber.

//// used projector headlight assembly's price = about USD 64$ ~ 100$

Is the strut bar still availible and for how much ?
//// still availible , about (front) USD 26$ ~ 30$ / (rear) USD 26$ ~ 30$

Is there any other parts availible worth mentioning ?
/// still availible : kia web part catalog site = http://mall.mobis.co.kr/mainindex.jsp

Is there any Kia Potentia car club websites ?
/// yes but MUST SPEAK KOREAN. http://cafe.daum.net/popotentia

The coils overs as Dmeetro mentioned would be better off building a custom set so you can adjust the camber.
/// can not adjust camber. but custom version can do
