Hi, I drive an I30t, about a month old. The ride is way bumpier than the Luxury model I30, feels like the car's tires are over-inflated. Anyways, the stiffer suspension and 17" rims make the car look way better and make it more fun to drive. I'm thinking about getting some kinda strut action or maybe, MAYBE even lowering the car. Lemme know what options I have, and what ideas you might have. I'm looking to be thrifty, already spent a ton on car audio. Did it all myself, btw.

If there are any I30 forums out there, let me know!

The bars/braces you should get are front strut tower brace and rear sway bar. Stillen and Courtesy have the FSTB's, and Stillen and Addco have the RSB.

Eibachs are available for your drop, but the ride will be stiffer since no aftermarket struts are available (besides the ones mingo keeps mentioning).
