WYB: struts/shocks/springs from 2011/2012 Genny sedan

[NJTom]

Hello All, I have an early 2009 Genesis 3.8 and as you all know has a jittery suspension. I'm looking to upgrade the sway bar to the 2012's hollow bar which I'm assuming will have to be purchased through the dealer for about $125.

I'm also looking to upgrade to a newer 2011/2012 suspension that someone may not need anymore since they upgraded to a coilover system.

Please send me a PM or email to let me know what you have. Please include approximate mileage and condition. I would prefer someone local to NJ but not necessary. Also, how much you are asking for the four corners.

Thanks,
NJT

jalanjalan: I saw your posting. I'm curious if the R-spec suspension would overall be an improvement over the early 2009 suspension. I'm concerned the jittery-tightness would still be as uncomfortable.
Under the "suspension" section I asked that exact question if someone else has done this comparison.

The topic switched to the rear sway bar and I never really got an answer.

Can't say. Can guess : higher spring rate and stiffer dampening on rspec items seems likely

All, I'm bumping this request because I'm still in the market to anyone with a 2012/2013 Genny that upgraded their suspension with an aftermarket and want to sell me the old system.
I have a early 2009 and it is starting to get to me. I don't have the money to get a new system.
Thanks.

If you happen to get a bite I'll buy your 09 suspension I just need it for R&D

All. I'm still in the market to purchase someones 2012-2013 suspension if they switched to another system. Looking to upgrade from my 2009 which is really starting to annoy me. Thanks.

When I upgraded my 2009 to 2010/2011 specs, I purchased 4 springs, 4 shocks/struts, and rear stabilizer for about $1000 here:
www.newhyundaiparts.com
I got an independent suspension shop to install them for about $600.

If you can't afford that, I would go ahead with just the 2012 rear stabilizer first, as it might make enough of a difference to make it tolerable. Obviously, tires that rate high in "comfort" are a must also.

Mark: thanks. I recently switched to purecontact tires and that has helped some. I can't afford to pay $1000+ at this time. I'm hoping someone has changed out their suspension, with low mileage, and would want to sell it to me.

Still looking: If anyone has switched out their 2012-2014 Genesis suspension for an aftermarket coilover system (Megan, BC, HSD) and want to sell me their OEM setup, please send me a PM.

Please include the year, mileage, V6 or r-spec, where you live and how much you are asking.

Thanks in advance! Tom

Bump to top. Actively searching to upgrade my 2009 suspension. Thanks.
