If you want the best of the best of the best, DMS is the final answer. They are the ONLY coilver set I'd ever buy for the accent. Of course, a set costs more than the blue book value of my car, but they'll make k-sports or hwarangs seem like coilovers made for pink Barbie toys.

If you want an excellent track handling, yet smooth daily driving setup that is way more capable and more adjustable than k-sports, building your own setup based on the koni inserts is the way to go. PM me if you want details on how to do this. Koni is the king when it comes to gripping the pavement, and ironically, their shocks are also the most street comfortable.

I guess. I had the K-Sports on my car for a little while, they were STIFFFF. Man i could feel whenever i ran over a ladybug with those things (yes i knew they were adjustable dont give me remarks) SOOO i softened them up, a bit more comfy but still hitting bumps hurt. I felt like the whole car would blow up or break from impact. STill they are nicly priced and get the job done. no need to pay 2k+ for coilovers on an Accent IMO....ok ok I just re-read what this guy said. Dude go spend your life saving getting those other coilovers all I can say now is Ive hit a curb going 65 on the freeway with my K-sports and they still worked like when i first got them for 3 months after it happening. (long story short i was going in to get my cars CV joint fixed when my wheel fell off, i had taken it to Sears a couple days before and it was because of them that the wheel fell off.)
