Not sure if they're in your price range, but get Koni Yellows! Otherwise, theres always the standard KYB's that alot of people generally get.

The KYB are in your price range, and are certainly comfortable and capable of handling the lowering.

FIRST question:
how low are you going?

if your goin with a mild drop (1.5-2 inch) kyb gr2s are decent

anything else your gonna have a hard time finding anything in that range

i recommend saving up your pennies some and getting some koni's or kyb agx struts its WELL worth it

On the Elantra I had AGX's up front and GR2's on the rear. I'd recommend AGX's or GR2's. Koni Yellow's are great (had them on my '96 Elantra), but they're not a simple bolt-on like KYB's. You need to have more than basic skills to install them.

Koni yellows are the best answer, but expensive and difficult to install. Not in the price range you stated.

KYB doesn't make the AGX struts for the Accent. They did just start making a "sport" version of the GR-2 struts that I installed on my friend's 03 Accent and they're significantly better than the original Accent GR-2's are.
