Hello Friends, my name is George and I just joined this forum and am so happy I found it...! I love my 2013 Veloster Turbo and have had it for just over a year now with no issues, the car runs like a top, super fast and smooth. I would like to drop the car by about 1 inch or so and I have seen some that really look nice when they are lowered, I just need help as to which ones will fit on a 2013 Turbo. I want the car to sit level after lowering, not raked at all. Right now with everything stock the ride is a little stiff but I still love it, will you guys join in and help me please ? At this point in time I only want to replace the springs and can't really afford to replace the shocks & struts.
My local Les Schwab Tire place said they won't install customer supplied parts, and they are hooked up with EIBACH so they have to order the springs from them and then install them for me. I looked at the Eibach spring sets online and they are showing PRO-KIT PERFORMANCE SPRINGS with Part # 4247.140....it says in their description that these will fit Veloster 2012-2018.....but the problem is the description DOESN'T SAY TURBO...so what I need to know is will these fit on my 2013 Turbo...? Please give me some much need advice and help, thank you guys in advance, George in CA

130,000 miles, I got the car with 124,000 miles on it just under a year ago and the records do not show the shocks and struts getting replaced or at least I couldn't find the work order if it was done, the car came from Texas

If you're wanting to drop the car by just an inch or so then you'll need the H&R springs which will do just that.
The H&R springs are also OEM strut friendlier than the Eibachs too.

Eibach ProKit springs are great springs but will lower your car by 2 inches to 2-1/4 inches so keep that in mind.

Se e if that dealer has the H&R and good luck.

Woow what a coincidence ! Thank you so much, Les Schwab in fact did order H&R springs for my Velo and they told me exactly the same thing....that these springs will drop the car by 1 inch, which is perfect for me...thank you again, when they are on I will post a picture of it....very excited ! George
