Right, so after almost 5 years, I've finally found a company that sells ksport coilovers for the Santa fe. Now the decision is, get the coilovers or get the matte black paint job (done properly by a shop that has experience in it) as per the concept PS. I'm retired for this season from competing in shows, so that is not a concern. Opinions?

Hmm, I'm leaning towards the paint. Love the UAV but the color scheme of blue/silver was never my cup of tea...black is where its at wink1.gif

I'd have to see a pic of a matt black Santa fe to give my opinion. But without seeing it I would go with the coil overs

I would go with the paint job. This is just my opinion, but a set of coilovers on that is the most retarded thing I have ever heard.

Every since I saw this K-daddy creation in 04, i've always wanted to do some kind of drop. Especially since you can't lift it (freaking unibody).

That's actually quite interesting! Dropped like that it looks more like a wagon. In an odd kinda way, I think I like it.

Is there an option 3? I dunno, given the two I would chose paint. But there's nothing really wrong with the way it looks now. In fact it looks great! fing02.gif
