Default rd suspension questions

first off are the rd1 and 2 chassis and suspension the same just with a diff body?



Does anybody make rear lower tie bars for the rd 1 or 2?



im going to be dropping my rd2 1.5in in front and 1.25in in back and wondering if its going to change my camber much?



Thanks,

Chet

Rd1-Rd2 Suspention is identical.



No need for lowering tie bar, Im down about 3" up front, and 2" out back for the last 3 years and zero issues.



Any time the car is lifted or droped camber will change, with 1.5" of drop you will need to find a way to adjust the camber with at the minum of 1.5 degree's + to play with.

same chassis. some different body panels. the rear does not need camber adjustments because it is multi-link. i'm sure it will be off by a hair, but the Elantra is on B+G and the rear tires are good for at least 5 years of non-stop driving so nothing to worry about.



on a side note, a lot of the electronics and interior plastics were made a lot cheaper using more flimsy plastics than the original Hyundais.

you wont even need camber bolts, it will be off so minimal you wont notice it.
