Tiburon Struts/Springs/Brakes on Spectra

born2pdl · 12-22-2006, 11:58 AM

I've read that some Elantra guys have installed tiburon struts and springs, but kept the Elantra strut plate (at top) for clearanxce reasons. They say it lowers the car but I didn't find how much. An obvious addition to this would be the front and rear Tib swaybars.

Are the Tib brakes larger diameter than Spectra brakes? Should be a direct bolt up if they are.

It would be interesting to try a Spectra with full Tibron struts/ springs/ swaybars/ brakes. Used parts from a ~2004-6 Tib should be relatively cheap from the local salvage yard or from car-parts.com. Maybe one of you scientists can try it out and report your results.

Then move this post to the Elantra 2004.5+ forum where there is some traffic.

Yes, mental typo. Elantra/Spectra, same thing so far as this topic goes.

Be a dear and move this to the spectra section, or delete it and I'll repost it there.
