Suspension upgrades on a 2009 Hyundai Accent. Hi Bhpians,
I have a 2008 model 1500cc Hyundai Accent Executive which is up for renewal in the coming month of October. Need your suggestions regarding a few issues with it.
Apart from this car at home, we have a 2018 Hyundai Creta which is mostly used by my father.
I am 25 years old and have been using the Accent lately. The engine is still a charm. It is powerful and peppy but I personally feel the suspensions of the car are it weakest point.
So, I have planned a few repairs and upgrades on the car once the renewal is done. Currently the car is completely stock with just a few scratches on the body panels.
The battery and tires have been changed recently. So, apart from a major service I have planned these repairs/changes: - Complete repaint of the car. (Also open to considering a wrap)
- Windshield change: Over the years, it has accumulated quite a few scratches.
- All oils changed
- Suspension upgrade.
I need some suggestions with the suspension upgrade. The suspension has already been changed once. But, I am not at all happy with the stock suspensions that we get from Hyundai.
So, would greatly appreciate any suggestions that I can get for a better suspension.
The car reaches speeds of 100-120kph quite comfortably. At these speeds, it feels as though the car has more juice in it. But, it starts vibrating even though the wheel balancing and alignment is done. This affects its overall performance.
Other than the suspension, any other suggestions regarding the overall maintenance of the car are also highly appreciated. Please let me know if you would suggest any other changes or upgrades in the car.
PS: My usage will be mostly on normal city roads and the highway.
Thank you all in advance!
Thanks and Regards,
Shreyas. |
