Default Tiburon Struts/Springs/Brakes on Spectra

I posted this question in the suspension section, then noticed that posts/responses are very infrequent there.

Question: Would Tib struts/ springs/ swaybars/ brakes all fit onto a spectra, and would they be upgrades?

We already know the RSB fits, and Elantra guys are using tib struts/springs (lowers the car too). Tib brakes might bolt right up. Used stuff from an 05-06 tib should be cheap at the local salvage yard.

Anyone try that setup yet, or interested in trying it?

I understand whyd you want the swaybar but there would be no benifit from stock tiburon brakes over what the spectra uses already. They are very adaquete.

it depends. are the tib brakes cross drilled or even a higher diameter rotor???

that would be the advantage. and for the money your going to spend on the struts and springs from the tib just buy the lowering kit

Netfirms Commerce Pro

they are only 210$ and correct for the application no doubt
