Skunk 2 seems to make a good budget set of coilovers but what else will I need besides them?
They also make just lowering springs, should I go for the springs and save some cash or go for the coilovers?
Any info would be nice,

not sure if Skunk 2 has them for the Tiburon. But im rolling on Ground controls and they dont need anything else besides whateva that is included. I had to cut my strut perch cuase they restricted how much i could lower the car.
Its great to have the coilover sleves but then the ride is pretty stiff. If you know what drop you want, it might be better to go with springs with that kinda of drop.

I recently installed HKS springs and Eibach dampners, great looking drop, great ride. I posted all about it with pics.

I just check skunk 2 and apparently they dont make a kit! AHHH they had them advertised in a mag but I guess they dont makem"! Anyways I was thinking about ordering a setof rims come ready to bolt on but they also include a set of kein lowering springs?!?! I've heard of and seen soem of teins products but are they trust worthy? Is anyone here rolling with them?
umm not sure if ur saying tiens or not.. but if your talkins about tiens they are nice springs and have a nice drop. I had no clue they made it for Rd's... maybe u have a Gk. Most of my friends have them and they are smooth and you can hang turns pretty well with them.
How about filling some information about ur car and car year in ur profile so we know wassup.

I just dont know any more....lol.. anyways how much of a drop should i be looking for?...roads are bad here but a little more traction and good looking stance is my goal! Just for the record i have a 98 tib dont know code.. (rd1) i guess ...currently rolling on weak ass 15's but lookin towards a 16 or 17 inch wheel change. If i go for some springs what else should i be looking for?
from what i've heared Eibach Pro-Kit are the best lowering springs out there, but they only give a 1.2" drop. I just ordered some Sprint lowering springs and they drop it 1.75", Phorq has them already installed on his ride, u should pm him to ask him about the handeling and such.
