Before drop:

After drop:










Eibach springs and struts! They're super. The 120k stock struts were all shot. Taking corners is a lot better, you don't feel the weight of the car threatening your turn anymore. It's as hard as stock but absorbs necessary impact as well. The tire is about a Centimeter under the fenderline. One thing is certain you can't take speed bumps anymore you have to start creeping up over them but it's ok I'm not a crazy driver so it's good. Sway bars arrive in october. I recommend these to anyone, the quality is superior.

I'm quite happy with the overall look of the car now. Other than that I'm thinking of painting the CF hood sometime next year when I get the car sprayed a sharper red. It's going to stay like this for a long time because I cannot afford to throw any more money into it anymore since I'm waiting for the 2009 Tiburon.

thanks! it's standard 1.2 inch front and rear. you can't see the gap due to darkness i should have chosen a sunny day for pictures. i'll put up a before pic so you can see the difference better.

believe it or not the car is freshly & intensely waxed but there's a light drizzle out. you can't even see the weaves on the flyryde hood mad.gif

thanks buddy. apparently shox.com has the struts now. i bought sway bars from them and they're very nice however the swaybars won't be shipped until october 15th. i'd suggest ebay seller qualifiedjapaneseparts. as for pricing from them, it's a fair enough price.

thanks hey selina!!! i was thining of bilstien struts but i heard they were too hard although they look exactly like the eibachs. i got the pro kit. believe it or not our stock springs can take quite a beating. when i took them out they were like new with a very minimal trace of rust from touching the strut pad.

it rides really well now. i really want to drive it down to florida this winter... the suspension is really awesome though. i love it so much i think it was definitely one of the best things i have done to the car. definitely the exact setup i dreamed of.

peter to answer your question, those are stock fogs that fit OEM into the F2 bumper. the lights on them are Uneek's HID's and they are very very good quality.
