Seriously? Is this a real question? If it is, please go take a class on auto mechanics.

I was debating on whether to answer the question seriously or not. I think some cross-drilled brake lines might be in order...

I'm thinking the lowering kit would be sweeeeet!



BTW, i did finally try the B & M shifter in my Accent. For me, the increase in shift effort wasn't worth the reduced throw. I went back to the stock shifter and the B & M is on Ebay. Oh well... worth a shot...

Default B&M shifter

I bought the B&M shifter online and installed it shortly after I got my 08 Accent. I would definately recommend it! As you know, the standard shifter is sloppy and the reverse clunky. The new shifter replaces the standard plastic shift ball with a smooth machined aluminum ball and shift rod. Their is a 'box' above the shift ball, with a different type lockout tab for reverse. The result is you get more weighted, shorter shifts, and the reverse is closer and not clunky. You'll be real happy with the difference. I also bought the leather shift ****, much nicer than stock. It's an easy install, the only tricky part is you have to cut one push nut (which wasn't designed to be removed), with a dremmel tool. Cheers

I think I will pass on the shifter kit, I can live with the stock one as-is. If only they had a clutch kit, as that's the worst part of the car, everything else they got right.
