bilstein BTC purchase from Korea

[DRS]

Thanks for feedback all. I am a huge fan of the Big Bs... Used them on so many cars and trucks I have. I have non R-Spec TAU V8, 2012. They might help a bit. I experience more initial lean allowed with the Sachs. Especially with the base model 2012 I drove for a few months (rental from Hertz I fell in love with so, got the V8).

As a FYI... I really enjoy the forum. So many great folks in here. Especially compared with some of the other auto forums.

Thanks for the update peter 302...The prada grill has a front camera. Can you see images from the front camera on the NAV screen? If yes, do the images appear automatically? Do front camera images appear after pressing a certain button?

Yes, the front images could be display on the NAV depend the condition as below:

1. speed lower than 10KM/H
2. the button of the front camera is "ON"

but I'm not recommend this item because I can not judge the distance as clear as rear camera, and when the car is move, I feel vertigo when I see the LCD

Who makes the sways for the RSpec? Didn't think there were any.

First off- immediate fail. No way to take the front strut top mounts off even with a spring compressor. Balls!

Thought about doing the exhaust: front of car too low with the megans on to
mount the rhino ramps:

Plan B. have speed shop do it😁

Re the sway bars. I saw an eBay vendor selling Korean made tuner gear for Kia and Hyundai. Although they didn't list the genesis sedan I emailed them and they relied that indeed they had them. I asked three separate emails if they were for the sedan and NOT the coupe (which has plentiful aftermarket parts). They assured
Me they were for the sedan specifically

The brand is neotech. I've attached a photo of the eBay purchase info. You can find the vendor on eBay and inquire if you want. They were pricey but it's the only one I've ever seen

It was about $21-2200 with shipping. EMS express air took 4 days. I think. I had the struts within a week of sending payment to Peter with PayPal

Ps. Don't use PayPal. Fees were atrocious. Moneygram would have been much cheaper.

Did you ever get the NeoT sway bars on? If so, how do they ride?

I ordered them from Peter on this forum. He has the Korean parts connection as he is always tweaking his genny.

Haven't installed mine yet so can't answer. Search and read all peters posts and check his photos. He is the only one who can provide bilstein feedback

I read the thread and Peters english is very good but there are some parts I can't grasp so that is why I would like more review, things like initial compression, rebound, transitional movements etc...

I'll wait till you have yours done and see how you like it. If anything I would imagine this is close to a eibach and koni setup where you get most of the control from rebound of the shock.
