  1. Wheel, Tire, & Suspension
    Have a 2006 Tib and am wondering if the OEM struts would be good enough to save some money and just buy springs, or if I should save up more and buy coilovers. Don't have a high budget but willing to spend if it is really worth it.

    Noob here, I have a 03 Tiburon GT 2.7, when I try to buy rear struts I get asked if I have sport suspension or without, how do I figure which I have? Thank you
  3. Tiburon General Discussion
    I have a 2006 Tiburon 2.7 and plan on replacing all 4 struts next week. I have bought pre-assembled/‘loaded’ struts. Will I need to still compress the spring to remove or install pre-assembled struts or is it just plug & play (unbolt and replace)? I have never messed with suspension before...

    Hi all, newbie here so this question may be completely stupid. I bought a 2005 Tib a few months ago and after reading through these forums for weeks I've caught the Mod Bug. I was wondering if the lowering springs for the 91-96 Tiburon will work for my 2005 one. Only reason is due to a tight...

    I want to know where I can get some Koni struts/shocks from. Apparently they've been discontinued from Koni so I have to find another dealer. I would like to stay away from ebay unless there is nobody else out there. Also I live in Canada making it hard to buy things from US distributers that...

    I drive an 05 GT, which has the 17" wheels stock. I just ordered new wheels and tires. 18x7.5 on *215/30-18's, so the outer diameter hasnt changed from stock. The tire width is typical for my rim size, so there is no stretching (something i didnt think about when buying them considering i want...

    I am having a hard time grasping the concept of shocks and struts. I know they control how bumpy you ride is and how your car absorbs bounces. But do they both do that? And do all cars have both or one or the other? And what about tibs? I'm wanting to lower my car between 1"-1.5" the cheapest...

    Hey everyone, im a total noob when it comes to springs, shocks and struts, but i came across these And i was wondering, could they be combined with these:? If they can be, would this have the same result as having a set of coilovers? If they can or cannot work, i would really appreciate a...

    I'm looking to drop some raceland coilovers into my 07 GS, but i dont want this project to snowball on me and turn into a bunch of new parts down the road. Im also a little confused on what all comes with the raceland coilover kit. Do they come with adjustable dampers? Do they come with the...

    I've searched the forums but haven't found a definite answer for my situation. I currently have stock suspension and the 17" stock wheels. I would like to buy some spacers (just back? all four?) to give a more flush look. In the future I hope to replace my struts with kyb's or something like...

    My 2005 GT Automatic used to have about a 3 inch gap from tire to the top of wheel well when i got the car at 24,000 miles. It has 96,000 now and has about 1 inch on all 4 tires.... My guess is struts but I'm not sure.... Another thing that might help is my traction is no where near as good as...

    Ok ive been wanting to install new front struts for a while. The shop ordered the parts i need and now i finally went to take it in and they wont install them because i need the bushing for the strut mount( i believe its just that rubber thing in the center of the mount). I have new strut mounts...

    I'm kinda new to NT and I thought I'd ask about my suspension. I have a 2003 Tib gt with 125,000 miles on it. Currently it has OEM struts with Megan racing springs. I have the OEM springs in my garage also. I live in Richmond, and there are potholes everywhere and I feel every single little...

    As the title says, I may be selling my strut/spring combo soon. I am thinking about getting some coilovers. I don't have any pictures since they are still on the car. The springs have about 10k miles and the struts about 4k. I put the struts(brand new) on last November and the springs I...

    Hi guys, just bought my tiburon three days ago and I am really interested in having some fun with inexpensive mods. I want to lower my car and I do not have 2000 dollars to drop on a full coilover set. Are Tiens or Skunk2's the best lowering springs to buy, and if so can you direct me to the...

    So I've found myself an interesting 'opportunity' I guess one could say. GC Coilovers full set NIB $100.. I've read the tutorials and reviews on how to install springs/coils on this forum and MANY other places and to be quite honest with everyone it scares the ever living **** outta me. The most...
