alrighty, so i was looking to lower my santa fe cause im bored with it. nothing huge, i just always thought it looked kinda tacky due to the large amount of space between the tops of the tires and tops of the fenderwells. i was only looking at about a 1.2" lower, but i can only find companies like eibach and i dont feel like paying 250 plus shipping. anyone know any other fairly reputable companies that dont have such a high price tag for a similar size lowering kit?

This kinda comes with the territory of buying a SUV.

The older I get the more I appreciate having cars with a front seat that's about "butt height" for me. Having to climb up to get in a car or out of one just isn't as much fun as it used to be. :P

Eibach makes a kit and so does Intrax, although the Intrax springs are a 1.8" drop. Both of them are available on NOPI.com Agreed with Claff that $250-300 is a pretty fair price for the springs. Keep in mind that you own a vehicle that has a VERY limited aftermarket presence (and that is abusing an understatement), no matter where it was on your list. If you wanted something in the Hyundai range that has a wider range of upgrades, look at the tiburons, or Accents. JMO
