It&#8217;s been further bolstered by BFGoodrich\u00ae All-Terrain T\/A K02 tires and 18-inch Method Rally Series wheels, along with a highly modified suspension that has been purpose-built to endure the rigorous 8-day challenge. The front suspension uses a KW Motorsports inverted-shaft long-travel McPherson strut system, providing 2-inches of increased travel, while the rear incorporates KW Motorsports long travel inverted coil overs, adding 1.5-inches of increased travel when compared to stock. KING 2 bump stops complete the upgraded suspension setup.<\/p>\n<p>The Telluride X-Pro&#8217;s wrap was created in partnership with the renowned ArtCenter College of Design in <span class=\"xn-location\">Pasadena, CA.<\/span> Kia challenged a select group of graphic design students to develop a unique livery for rally vehicle, with senior student <span class=\"xn-person\">Jaiwon Lee&#8217;s<\/span> topographic map design selected as the winner.
