Default LC2 suspension setup

I just recently bought a new '05 Accent GT and wanted to get some input on suspension. The first thing I'm getting ready to do to my car is front and rear swaybars from PSC and SR front and rear strut bars. I thought I could try different combinations of the strut bars and settings on the rear sway bar to see which felt best to me. What I want from here is some input on coilovers or shock/spring combinations. I'm looking to lower ther car a bit and to improve handling as much as possible without mutilating ride quality. Any input is appreciated.

i have some coilovers for sale, nobody has claimed them yet. they retail for $1195 and have been used less than 2000 miles. the only reason i am selling them is because i wrecked my accent :cry:. they come with extra springs for a more comfortable ride. they came with 7kg front springs and 5kg rear springs, so i ordered 4kg springs (extra $100) to go on the rear and i put the 5kg's on the front. they are fully adjustable for height, camber, and dampening. with the softer springs the ride is VERY nice, i would suggest installing these first and if you feel you need swaybars after that, i have some for sale as well. people have claimed these but nobody will get back to me for payment but the swaybars are complete as well with bushings and endlinks.

here is my for sale post:

here is a link to the website for the coilovers:
http://www.ksportusa.com/products/kontrolpro.html

they vary slightly from the pictures, the coloring is more orange than yellow and the rear pillow mount has 3 studs not 2 but basically the same thing. the coilovers i will ship to your door WITH the extra set of springs (5kg and 4kg installed, 7kg will come seperately) for ONLY $875. let me know, these are off of the car and ready to go. you will not be disappointed with these by any means trust me, theyre just about brand new, totally adjustable and rebuildable in the future if you ever blow one. these are just about the best you can get for your car at a great discount, my loss is your gain.

I'm sorry to hear abour your car man, I went through that with my LC a few years ago and it sucked. I'm very interested in those coilovers and will be in touch with you. Thanks so much.
