I will call Koni and find out what is available for my front end. I would like to try them if one is available. I see the posts that others Aspire owners post about Koni's, but have not see a post about the 2013 year (unless I missed it).

Mark, I'm not sure if the 13 and 16 have the same shocks. If not it may be because of a change in front axle load weight change in 2016. My 2016 I-beam axle has this shock. BTW, you'll never find it on line as Koni never had a cross to our Aspire Bilsteins until I got Spartan and Koni talking last year.
Front , Bilstein PN 24-187015,= Spartan PN 0546-SS5-001,= Koni PN 8805-1018.
You can verify this by crawling under the front and if you have a Bilstein shock then look at the lower portion of the shock for a black labeled # of 187015. It may be dirty and will wipe off if not careful when you try to clean it. Also, EC support should be able to tell you the shock type and PN on your 13. Spartan assigns their own PN and can tell you that. You need the VIN #.
If you have the same Bilstein # or the same Spartan # then your good for the above Koni #
Be careful when talking with Spartan parts as they will likely not be able to cross any numbers and will say they can't help you. I've been there. Here is a good contact and the E-mail sent to me from Spartan. Talk to David as he did the research with Koni to come up with the Koni #. Also the price included free shipping.
Good luck and let me know if your 13 is the same as the 16. Hope this helps.
Pat
