Hi all, i just bought my accent 1.6 DOHC and i want to lower th suspension. I am very confused because i see many diffrent settings and i want to know what advise all of you can give me so i can make a good fact based decision on what to put on my car.

Also, can you please give me links to part suppliers.

Thanks!



Sean

 

Here is a 2003 Accent I put together for the showroom. It has Eibach springs from Tirerack for the 01 Accent (they fit perfect), 15x7 alloys, and 195/50/15 Yokohama AVS ES100 tires. We also put a leather shift knob on it from the 01 Tiburon. We also put the factory spoiler on it today. I might have a couple more pics tomorrow.

Wow, nice pic! What about handling? Did you take it out for a spin?

I guess it should give a good performance upgrade! It lowers the car 1.2" right?

Thanks!

Sean

 

Handling was improved for two reasons, lowering springs and much better tire wheel package compared with stock.

I would say 1.2 drop is about right. I didn't measure however.

Well thanks! I will order mine this week. I have the Noble White GSI 1.6L DOHC model.

Did you need to change stock shocks?

Do those mods affect car warranty?

Sean

 

Stock struts will be fine. Eibach engineers the springs assuming stock struts are being used.

Warranty is up to the dealership you goto. At my dealership we don't consider Eibachs any problem for warranty.

 

Ok, that helps me out. Do you know if Hyundai is getting new addons to the car like rain window guards?

Anyways, i really appreciate your feedback.

Regards,

Sean

 

Here are acouple more pics of that car.

 

Wow, that looks pretty nice.
