Here's my wheel gap.:evil:


Take a peek at how low my front end is.


I lowered my accent with a Eibach Prokit for a 98-99 accent, and I love it!

his front end is so long we cant get a hydraulic jack underneath.

The ride is good and feels really nice in turns.
Its not a brick, it sitll has some give whcih is good the road.

THey are progessive springs. the more you push them the hard they get.

Are you using stock shocks/struts ? I ask because i want to lower my 2002 accent gs and you are the first person since i joined to use eibach springs. I want a lower center of gravity but not a harsh ride. Living in ohio is a lesson in futility with crappy roads and weather that changes more often than i change underwear.

Yeah, i'm still on stock struts. The ride gets a tad bouncy on harsher pavement, but nothing a little extra speed doesnt fix, lol. I'm looking for replacements soon... KORE's supposed to be selling em soon enough.

Remember, i'm using eibach springs for the 98-99 accent, the 00+ eibach springs will not drop you as low.
