Sonata Suspension
 

I’m currently driving an NF Sonata with close to 70K on the odometer and not liking the suspension at all.

The car spends half it's time bouncing on the highways and the other half rolling in corners. Hence, I’m thinking of upgrading the suspension but the NF isn’t really at all popular when it comes to aftermarket parts.

After much research, I've only managed to find a very limited option. Koni Sport which is available fairly easily, OE dampers (Sachs, I think) which I feel is crappy and Tein which seems to have a damper only available in the Korean market - can't read Korean.

Springs wise, I found H&R, Pedders Sports Ryder and Eibach Pro.

I’m thinking of a setup compromising of Koni Sport Damper Kit and Eibach Pro Kit. What’s your opinion? How’s the factory suspension on your Sonata?

Anyone knows if there’re strut bars and roll bars for the Sonata?

Hey, thanks mate.

Took a look at the link you provided and found many interesting stuffs.

Nothing on suspension and roll bars, but the strut bars are really sweet.

RE: Sonata Suspension
 

Can I ask whatyou mean when you say "roll bars"?

When I hear "rollbar", I think of a structural bar that's usually installed in soft-top sports cars to protect the occupants in the event of a rollover. Do you mean, perhaps, swaybars?

Hmm...

I mean anti-roll bars other wise know as anti-sway bars or stabilizer bars.

Something like what's below, except that it's for a Tiburon.

I think those in convertibles are roll hoops?

Not aware of what year your vehicle is, however, I highly recommend you have the front sub frame checked for servere corrossion damage.

There is a Federal investigation going on regarding this issue, and it is dangerous, could be what is creating your concern.

The NF covers U.S. model years 2006 to present. Corrosion of the K-member has been an issue for early model EF types, 1999 through 2002. The NF submembers were redesigned to prevent this problem.
