i guess that you all have not seen how the hondas do the same thing. i replaced more honda coil springs than i care to remember. but i have also seen this first hand since the festiva and the aspire are both mazda and kias mixed into one, my rear spring on my festiva broke one complete wrap off about a year ago. then the aspire shit only had 65k on it. (for those that dont know 91 festiva with 94 aspire drivetrain)
