Like it says. Iv been looking around and can't seem to find anything. What's out there what else will work. I know the tib, or lantra struts are close but are they close enough. Any help on this subject would be nice, I have my stock struts with tib coil over sleeves and springs now, I got a nice low ride hight, the ride could be better, maybe some helper springs, but my struts are about gone. Thanks

Good: KYB GR-2 struts. Handle some drop okay. A lot better than stock but not really a true performance strut.
Better: Koni yellow inserts. Cut the top of your strut off, install inside the body, enjoy. Expensive but good and adjustable.

IIRC yes for the 97-up, but would have to use 97-up strut housings on an earlier Accent. Either way measure the strut housings on an X3 before buying. Koni lists the correct diameter.

I use front X3 and rear RD struts because of how I did the rear disk swap.
I went to the site and they only had for the RD, is that one compatible with the X3?

Ok so I checked it out a bit, not really getting how to go about ordering the koni inserts. I would like to go with them but can't afford to order wrong. Does anyone have a part number? I think with my ground countral sleeves, and if I add some helper springs it should make for a nice ride.
