Default Need New shocks

I just finished lowering my car and i came to find out all of my shocks are bad. Troubling thing is the only thing i can find is replacement. I want adjustable shocks. Are there any interchangable that i could use i just cannot settle for stock. It is such a rough ride at the time being

Koni is your only answer, and is the best of the best imho.

Unless you want to go really custom, then you can convert to a servicable strut. This is what I ended up doing: http://www.hyundaiperformance.com/forums/topic.php?t=54500

yes they do... sort of. They make inserts that can be used with your existing struts. You have to chop the top off, gut it, drill a hole in the bottom, put the koni in, bolt the insert in through the hole you drilled, and then reinstall.
Tougher to install, a pain in the ass, can be really messy, doesn't look great, but will handle better than anything else you can buy for the accent. Koni is the BEST.
