Here is a 2003 Accent I put together for the showroom. It has Eibach springs from Tirerack for the 01 Accent (they fit perfect), 15x7 alloys, and 195/50/15 Yokohama AVS ES100 tires. We also put a leather shift knob on it from the 01 Tiburon. We also put the factory spoiler on it today. I might have a couple more pics tomorrow.

Handling was improved for two reasons, lowering springs and much better tire wheel package compared with stock.
I would say 1.2 drop is about right. I didn't measure however.

Stock struts will be fine. Eibach engineers the springs assuming stock struts are being used.
Warranty is up to the dealership you goto. At my dealership we don't consider Eibachs any problem for warranty.
