I would like to have some input, opinions, and reviews if you have these products or where i can find the same quality for cheaper or something better for a little more. I have a 99 Tib FX everything is stock. I have some money saved up to start putting some performance parts on it i figure the brakes are about done as it has 76,000 on it now and i think everything is pretty much stock so now would be the time to start upgrading. I figure start with brakes, suspension, rims and tires. After that who knows as ill probably put it in my carport for the winter cover it until next spring and just find me a junker to drive back and forth to work and school everyday.

Brake Rotors and Pads

Suspension
http://shop.hyundaiperformance.com/shop/it...?i=EBH_4210.680 does this drop it any or just pretty much increases handling, and driveablity?

Rims and tires I cant decide on what rims i want but i have narrowed it down to either a 16 or 17 inch rim in a silver color and i want to stick with the five spoke rims. I thought i saw something called Storm on a poll in the tire section are those available and if so where? For tires i have decided on Pirelli Nero Zero M+S tires. (yes the design was part of the reason but not the only one i have heard good things about these tires)

Thanks.

Get the Eibach suspension kit & some rims but I'd prolly leave out the brake upgrade for now: your stock brakes will cope just fine with a stock Tib.

I'd invest the rest of your spare cash (brake money) in a decent cat-back exhaust & an AEM-style cold air intake fing02.gif

Speak to Mad-Machine about those tyres as I think he has them & loves them.
