Heya!

I was supposed to get my B-G springs... but they finally called my friend at his shop and told him... their not yet in production! (why are they announcing them then!)

Anyways, anyone have a pic of their drop ? Either Eibach or H&R 1.3's ?

Thank you !

Check out the garage, a bunchof us have them already. or just check my link below.

Boyfriend purchased Eibach and is very happy with his. I like the ride too, so when i go to lower my car, those are the springs i will eventually go with.

I thought Tein didn't make coilovers for the Accent. Which ones will fit, does anyone know?

It's only available through the Canada-Only Hyundai Performance Parts.

There are TEIN products available for our Accent (AKA Verna) in the Korea market.

All I saw was the Eibach lowering springs there.

Does anyone have a part number or link to these Tein coilovers for the Verna. I am very interested; AKA going to get them if I can find them and they are EDFC compatible.

that two-toned white and charcoal gray accent is nice! thats almost exactly what i want to do to mine except my base is charcoal gray...anyway, is there a way you can get another pic of that car from the side and closer to the wheel so i can see the gap between tire and fender?

KFXperformance.ca has a set of coilovers for our rides.

I've seen those. They're SMA not Tein. I will most likely get those if I absolutely have to, but I really want Tein.

Does nobody have hard evidence that Tein coilovers for the Accent exist and are purchasable? I don't mean that in a rude way at all, I just REALLY want them. :57:

Thnx Rondy, thats a much better view of the wheel gap. I might have to get a set of those vs. cutting the springs. I want it lower than that though...coilovers are the only way to get that though right? Oh and rondy, the thread i made about the two toned paint job...its almost the same as the one pictured above.

Well Ive heard bad things about cutting the springs, it would decrease your performance. I suggest getting the eibach. There was a site selling intrax springs for our cars and the drop was 1.8''. I looked for it today and they didnt have the springs listed :mellow:

Coilovers will give you more drop (they ar adjustable) and the best performance. About the 2 paint job I know thats the car you were talking about lol

im thinking, do they have an air ride system small enuff for our car? that would be way cool, air bag suspension on an accent! :grin: have it adjustable like a range rover.....

Thanks for the pics give a good idea ! :)

Go to Http://www.hyundaiperformance.ca click on gallery and then the > button and you'll see the coilovers.

More pictures of the SR-X as per the request:

This is as close as i got to it

The orange coilcovers look like K-Sport coilovers. K-Sports are orange. Tein coilovers are usually green. K-Sport has coilovers for the earlier Accents. I haven't seen the hyundai performance website update in awhile. I think it's time to visit the dealer and find out about product updates.

Do that! They will clearly tell you that they're TIEN :)

lowering the car is fine and all, but does anyone have lbs. ratings for any of the above mentioned springs?
It just wouldnt make any sense to match aftermarket springs with stock struts up front.
