Are those 2 companies still active and big in the Hyundai world or have they gone stale over the past 10+ years? I know they still have websites and list stuff but are they actually still selling a lot Hyundai owners? Back in the day, they were the 2 main companies (and KORE) to go to when you needed something.

I never really bought anything from SR because of the feedback. Dan/KORE made a badass strutbar that I still have. I've bought from Seoulfulracing several times and have always had a good experience.

I've bought from SFR with no problems, also from KSPEC from their eBay store. The only downside is the long wait for the parts to come from Korea.

Sam (owner of SR) only does things in his spare time now. It's not his full time gig anymore like back in the day when there was a huge abundance of RD owners modding their cars.



I think the same goes for Bradley (owner of EF) since he has a family with kids now. When it was just Team SR, and only Hyundai items...he dedicated almost all of his time to it. He spread out and is offering things for all different types of cars now but I still dont think it's his main career.

Took about 3 weeks to get items from SFR. It's expected.

SFR still owes me $250 from 2003. Actually, it should be a couple of grand due to interest by now.

Haha, CNK! Didn't most people get their radiator? I think several got screwed though.





I can't thing of a single company that hasn't screwed the Hyundai community. That's just sad. MHP and HVE were pretty good until they went under.

W'oh....MHP...there's a name I forgot about. They were great, but they only had a handful of parts for RD owners. You're right though....just about every single company that offered stuff solely for Hyundai owners has screwed someone over in some way. I think it's because Hyundai owners were so quick to throw their money when something new came out, because the scene had very little to work with. So it was very exciting when a new company came to market that offered stuff for us. Or when an established company had something new.
