I'll go snap some pics for you, my car is slammed on Megan Coilovers. I haven't changed height at all, but I noticed when I took off my old coilovers, I was lower in the back, and higher in the front before. This is how the Megans sit right off the bat, and I can tell you, the front is lower than I've ever had this car.

^that is SICK!!
our elantra is on B+G. it's real low. it looks BADASS from the highway. i'd love to have those springs on the tiburon but the only problem is rear negative camber and alignment.
you confuse me with the other tibby01 haha. i saw him driving about 2 months ago. got the impression he's moved on.

I'm still 4x114.3 but I'm planning on re-drilling the hubs by spring time. my game plan is simple. buy a set of 5x114.3 spacers and use the bolt pattern as a template since I'm going to need them for the back anyways.
although I'm not do this myself because i don't have the tools to do this, but i can have one of the guys from the tool room where i work do this.
why i want to go 5 lugs people may ask... because there is a better selection of wheels in the width and offset i want and i can do a proper bbk.

Won work, hubs are much bigger then the tib spindles. I know cuz I put RD2 rear hubs on my LC Accent when I swapped to rear tib disc brakes. I got my hands on a 5 lug rear hub cuz I wanted a 5 lug conversion and found out it wouldnt fit.

The front GK 4cyl hubs do fit but it will give you +camber. The rear ones you need the GK FL2 hub assy and I believe Tucson rear control arms and they need to be shortened.
