Rented an '08 Hyundai Accent

I'm with Per. At 6'3" and most of my height up top I get crooked necked in most vehicles with a sunroof.

The primary reason I am pretty happy with the idea of running a Beetle is the headroom while wearing a helmet.

How hard would it be to get my hands on a set of the SE springs? I've been toying with the idea of a base 09 Accent hatch as my next daily driver.

I've been in the Kia version, seemed like a pretty slick little car.

If you do, let me know. I've been researching cheap suspension options for a little later down the road...

SE springs are available at any Hyundai dealer, or places online that sell Hyundai parts. They were like $200 list price when we bought our 2007 GS. When I negotiated, I had them include a set of SE springs at cost.

Do you happen to know the actual differences between standard and SE springs? It's nice to have numbers to compare to things such as lowering springs, or the potential results of trimming.

Nope, I never measured the differences between the GS and SE springs. I just swapped them out and called it good.

I have been enjoying mine, decent little car. and the factory steel wheels look, in there uber dorky way

My buddy has a 13 second turbo'd Rio wagon.
