OK heres the deal, i found a set of Nex coilovers on ebay. They say 97-05 Tiburon, but if they fit the 03 Tib, they fit the 02 Elantra. and the price is great! my problem is what kind of quality are these? i think Streetcreeper has them.... anyone else?
Nex coilovers go for $660 shipped on ebay.
DESCRIPTION
You are looking at one of the finest made coilover kits available. The NEX Type SS kit has all the features of a racing coilover without the harsh ride and cost. The NEX Type SS is designed to allow the vehicle to be lowered without affecting shock stroke or spring preload. This is done by seperating the spring preload adjustment from the ride height adjustment. As a result of this unique design, the ride quality is not affected by ride height! This is only found on a few kits! Adjustment range is from 1.5"-3.5".
WHAT YOU GET
4 Shocks
4 Springs
4 Upper mounts
4 Forged lower mounts
4 Dust boots
2 Spanner wrenches
Brakeline holder
1 YEAR WARRANTY
TECH SPECS
Spring rate : Front 8kg
Spring rate : Rear 6kg
so since my struts are shot is this worth it? i mean im looking at $500+ for eibach springs and KYB struts. might as well get coilovers and have the adjustability factor. i need to take care of this before i do the turbo, its getting bad.
what do you guys think?

from wha ti recall
one member here posted a pic of his NEX coilover and they didn't have the pillow mount top plates he had to reuse the stock rubber upper mounts
search a bit, he had detailled pics
edit here's a link
NEX link on RDT
btw from what i found here, height is adjustable, but dampening isn't.. might be better with K-sports?

dude are you serious? lol i thought you knew i had these already. any way they are good in my opinon, the only downfall is that you cand adjust the dampening, and you have to sorta add washers to make them work. if you have any other questions, call me im going to message you my number

Thanks for the link..... i see now that im probably better off with a set of KYB Tib struts and a set of springs, my only problem is finding a spring thats low enough for my liking. i like the drop i have now, and the one springtechs give, but i wanna be slightly higher. just not as high as H&R's. now im completely clueless. no way im spending $900 on Ksports, then i'll never finish my turbo project.
