I dont even have much in the trunk, but I think if it gets raised half an inch it will look perfect plus it would be a better alternative for me than buying spacers

$277 for all four.. After reading through that hyundai thread, this is what we need to get an even drop. People with the elantra sedans also do this because of the sagging when they use tib springs

This wouldn't lower the front. the only way you can lower the front is by cutting the springs. From what I understand these struts are day and night compared to stock, especially after lowering

Spacers are cheap. I bought mine fore $30 for both. If this works I think it should be offered. Naturally the price of springs will go up as well since it's an extra cost, but it'll sit right.

Got my spacers today and getting the car done as you are reading this. If the back sits too low I'll throw these in there. If this works then great! It's a 1" spacer from Precision Race Components (PRC)
