Nooooooooo, don't do this. fits 1997-2005 tiburon 4 & 6 cyl, I don't get it, how it can be?

I think you should go for a known brand for such a modification, eibach or h&r (I just put h&r a month ago and the car feels great, no rough ride etc.)[/size]

If you're on ebay looking for cheaper springs, also watch out for Sprint Springs... they're cheap, and they do work, but the back springs don't fit perfectly into the perches... The springs are literally 1/8" too wide in diameter.

Bah, f*** that doode.

If you are looking into a spring drop I would go with one of these three: Eibach Prokit (1.2" drop), H&R sport springs (1.5-1.6" drop), or Intrax lowering springs (1.75" drop)

You can also go with B&G which lowers the same amount as Intrax. But I heard the Intrax is of better quality.

Personally I'm lowering my car with Intrax because of the way they look/perform on our Tibs. The only problem with dropping it 1.75" is that your tire may rub against your fender wall if you pick up some speed and make a right turn going uphill.

one member of the quebec forums got a set for his car nand brought them to me for the instalaltion..
piece of crap..
the rear one were too short,when the suspension was fully extended the coil was "loose"
the front one weren't cut in the right location,meaning that they didn't sit right on the top plates

he got another set for free and they were the same
edit..
the brand name was canuck motorsport... but i'm quite sure it had spring tech on the box also,spring were red colored

Intrax gives it a nice drop, but yeah, you're gonna rub especially if you have 17's, cuz they settle to like 2" to 2 1/4"


I have the Eibach Pro Kit Springs myself and I have NO complaints!
Stick with a trusted name, Eibach, B&G or H&R
