wait till you hit a dip on the highway, or go up a nicely sloped drive way, ..



best thing you could of done was roll your fenders, and gotten coilovers... deff worth the money...


but deff post up when you lower it.. wanna see more pics
You got it...probably late next week depending on when the springs come. The side skirts won't be here probably until the week after next, as they had to make them for me. Thanks!

Nice pics, guys.

What would you guys think about putting my 19X8.5 iForged Retro's from my Sonata onto my FD?

I'd like to find some wider barrels for the rears, though, so that I can run a staggered fitment. Something like 19X10 with some 295/30/19's would be saweeeeeeeeet, yeah?

My Sonata w/ iForged Retro's:





My FD as it sits...with HP Racing Evo 18X8's and 235/40/18's... Bleh!

What do you think?

FD + 19X8.5 & (hopefully) 19X10 iForged Retros = win?

^ I think the question here is... why do you have Iforged wheels on a hyndai and knockoff HPs on the FD?

My FD is in Georgia. They are legit HP Racing Evo's btw. lol :P

My Sonata is here with me in San Diego.

Do you think if I found larger barrels to run a staggered fitment, that I should run the iForged on the FD instead?

I could much more easily find new rims for the Sonata, but there are pretty much NO rims that I like for the FD, other than maybe my iForged.

lol

I'd say fit them the way they are for now and get an idea if you'll like them or not. How much for new barrels?
