ok so I have had my accent for a bit now and its really high time i start putting some parts on it and working out my build. im going to be doing a NA 2.0 swap, and building it up with 10.1 pistons, cams, port flowing the head and so on. but right now im working on stance and i need to get this thing down. i am limited on funds and would much rather put the money into my motor, and brakes, so i just trying to find out more info for some coilover sleeves. before i got into the accent i had a 4g63t swapped colt that i had sitting on ground control coilover sleeves. it provided what i was looking for because there wasn’t a coilover option for that car. ground control makes a kit for the tib, so my question is on strut size. who knows if our struts very much in size compared to the tibs (01+ i think). i need to know length from perch to cap, and the diameter of the strut. please any help on this would be great. thanks oh and to all those that think the ride sucks, try and remember, any time you drop a car and stiffen up the suspension, your car is going to be a ruff ride, but it will handle much much better

 

There is a thread at http://www.hyundaiperformance.com/fo...ts-accent.html that I was asking similar questions on. From what I understand, Tiburons 2001 and earlier have the same srtrut mounting points but the struts are longer.

 

thanks that thread was very useful. i think im going to give it a try. ill post up pics if it works out. i may just pick up a cheap set from fleebay first befor i drop 300+ on the GCs. thanks again

 

I got some coilover perches and springs I'd sell to ya.

 

to late. all good though.as i said befor this is a test run. i just want to make sure the fit up ok befor i pick up the good ones.

 

did it end up working?

 

Ya, if I wasn't so busy trying to change my all wheel disk set up I would have already done a write up on it. Anyway, ya, it worked. Worked well. It doesn't fit perfect so there was some moding to the sleeves, but it gives the car a wonderfull ride hight, and its really nice when you drop your car and one corner isjust a lil off, well with this you can even all for corners. Anyway one thing I may end up doing if I can find some real nice struts and when I get the ground countral system, is grabbing a set of helper springs. That should take care of most the anoing bumny ride.

 

Im trying to slam My accent on some 97-01 tiburon ebay sleeves, because I dont have the funds for now for anything else....im just scared it will fail me. Are they safe to use?
