beta swappers...i know brakes work...but what about suspensions

[ONLY1DB]

is there any other suspension that you guys have tried...like the rd tib or the older elantras?? do they swap in and out??

how do you guys deal with the extra weight??

[ONLY1DB]

NOBODY has done any suspension modifications to their accent??? WTF? how do you guys deal with the weight??

[ryanolson]

what are you talking about?

[ONLY1DB]

the weight from the beta motor on the stock accent suspension...it would make the care handle like ***...

just curious if anybody has tried swapping and rd tib suspension onto the x3??? for the added spring rate

[Juanramasca]

i dont think its posible on the front suspension of the X3 but when we put the rd's rear disk brakes on the accent we also put in shock absorbers and sping from the rd...

[ONLY1DB]

so you can actually do a full four disc conversion on an x3???

yeah i guess i will have to expeirment with the time comes...just figured i would throw it out there.

but still if anybody had done it before...please post up!!

WTF? how do you deal with the extra weight? wtf? get new springs or buy a new suspension system and have them rate it accordingly at the shop you buy it from. WTF? CALM DOWN!!! WTF?!!!!!!!!

ps. the weight differences aren't that big. no different than buying groceries.

[ryanolson]

besides that. the extra weight thing is a freakin myth. the beta weighs a whoppin ~50lbs more than the alpha. that is like you all of a sudden getting fat. its not gonna make your car handle like ****.

[ONLY1DB]

thats it???

i have read that people were having issues with the added weight...i havent done it yet so i dont know...

hence why i'm asking questions...

in4...i sense hostility...i am calm...but its fustrating because thus far...my questions have gone unawnswered....these boards used to be filled with people who posted all the time...i've been a member for years now...but i guess it has just slowed down...

thank you...
