You can try google.com and type in 2013 or 2012 (same) Hyundai Accent lowering springs or coilovers. Just a thought. I did it and came up with a BUNCH of results!

Keep in mind, the car is brand new so it will take some time before aftermarket parts will be available. There will be limited parts probably until later in the year. But since the 2012 springs fit 2013, that may be the way to go. Some sites may not list 2013 in the list of springs that fit since its so new. Good luck!

If you got some pennys to blow try these out:
custom coilovers
The prices aren't bad for a custom made set of coilovers and you can go as crazy as you want in the form and/or function department. If I could go back, I might have saved a little longer and gotten some 3ways with remote reservoirs made for the Tib.

It depends...springs are usually only good for between 1" up to around 2 or 2.25"
Coil overs will allow you to set just about any height you want all the way up to 3" or more giving you a slammed car.
Just depends on your budget, and how low you want to be. Since you live in the North East (Jersey I'm assuming), you probably dont have the best quality roads, with a lot of pot holes, like there is here in NY. So going super low may not be the best option. Springs will probably be ok but the ride quality will suffer some if you are using the factory struts and shocks. You'll want a good set of aftermarket shocks/struts to compensate for the lower ride springs.
Coil overs will give you the best ride quality, as you can dial in and set them to the proper ride quality when you lower the car. But they are more expensive than just plain springs.

i have a 2012 accent, and we are having problems with the rear suspension... has anyone heard anything about this issue happening? I have taken it back to the dealership 3 times now, and they cant "replicate" the sound. The sound is a very weird clunk noise if we hit a bump in the road... my car ends up sounding like an pick up truck. so weird.
