Less Wear and Maintenance

Add confident rear support to your Kia Forte when you load up with passengers, tools, or luggage. Our MAD helper springs and reinforced coil springs help keep the car level, improve stability and braking, and preserve day-to-day comfort — backed by TÜV / RDW approvals.

  • Reduce rear squat under payloads for safer, more composed handling.
  • Better stability in crosswinds and over undulating roads.
  • No compressors or airlines; low-maintenance, set-and-forget.
  • Most installs take about an hour.

Note: Suspension upgrades do not increase GVWR. Always stay within the manufacturer’s limits.

Kia Forte helper springs — quick answers

Will these make my Forte ride harsh?

No. Reinforced coils are tuned to engage progressively under load, preserving OE-like comfort when unladen.

Do these increase payload capacity?

No. They improve support and stability under load but do not change the vehicle’s GVWR. Always follow the OEM limits.

Does HV-493168 fit the GT (1.6T)?

No — GT is excluded. HV-493168 fits non-GT sedans (incl. GT-Line). If you have a GT, contact us for fitment guidance.

How do I choose the right kit?

If you carry constant rear weight (tools, equipment), reinforced coils are ideal. If loads vary, reach out and we’ll advise based on your use case.

🔧 Why Install Helper Springs on Your Kia Forte?

The factory suspension of the Kia Forte is tuned for comfort—but not necessarily for extra weight. Auxiliary springs activate only when needed, helping to:


  • 🧳 Prevent sagging under load
  • 🚗 Maintain proper ride height and handling stability
  • 🌉 Reduce bounce and sway on rough or uneven roads
  • 🛡 Extend the life of your OEM suspension


These bolt-on upgrades are perfect for commuters, delivery drivers, rideshare vehicles (Uber/Lyft), and anyone who frequently hauls cargo or passengers.
