Hyundai Sonata, Tiburon and Accent Coilovers

For the Tiburon, KW makes separate kits by engine, so if you have a 2006 Tiburon GT, the first thing we ask is whether it has the V6. For the Sonata, the generation decides the kit; for the Accent, the year does. We carry fifteen sets of coilovers for the Hyundai Sonata, Tiburon and Accent, from BC Racing, KW and Ksport.

Call 1-800-460-9106 and tell us if your Tiburon has four or six cylinders.

Animated illustration. It shows where coilovers sit on a car, not your exact kit. Depending on the car and the kit, coilovers can lean forward or back or stand straight up, and some cars use a separate spring and shock in the rear. Your ride height depends on the kit and how it is set up.

What decides the kit for each model

It comes down to one thing per model.

Sonata: generation

Ksport names its kits by generation code (YF, LF). BC names them by years.

Tiburon: engine

KW has separate GK kits for the 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder.

Accent: years

There are two kits, one for 2000 to 2004 and one for 2012 to 2017.

Before you buy: what Sonata, Tiburon and Accent owners run into

Tiburon owners once had a busy tuning scene, but those forums are quiet now, and the Sonata and Accent were never common lowering projects. Verified suspension reports are scarce. What we can pass on with confidence is a Hyundai recall and warranty extension on Sonata front springs.

Front coil spring corrosion and fracture

Sonata YF, 2011 (recall) and 2014 (warranty extension)

Hyundai recall 15V629 covers 2011 Sonatas in salt belt states, where corroded front coil springs can crack near the base. Hyundai bulletin 19-SS-002H extends front spring warranty to 10 years or 120,000 miles on the 2014 Sonata. CarComplaints owners of 2011 cars report broken springs. A cracked spring can puncture the tire.

Before you install: Check NHTSA for recall 15V629 by VIN, and inspect the front strut mounts and tires for spring contact damage during the install.

Sonata history

Eight generations since 1985

A Hyundai heritage article dated September 25, 2025 explains where the line began: "In 1985, Hyundai introduced the first-generation SONATA, which was based on the premium trim of the STELLAR."

1985

First SonataThe same article says the car has since gone through "eight generations".

Questions on Tiburon engines, the W-05 note and missing years

My Tiburon is the V6 GT. Which KW kit fits?

KW's 2003 to 2009 Tiburon (GK) 6cyl. kit is the one for the V6. BC's and Ksport's 2003 to 2008 Tiburon kits do not name an engine. For a 2009 car, only KW's kits list that year.

The BC 2010 to 2014 Sonata kit says "May Need W-05". Should I worry?

BC's kit name also says "Please Contact Us", so call us before you order.

I just bought a 2024 Sonata. Do you have Hyundai Sonata coilovers for it?

Not that we list. Our newest Sonata kit stops at 2022, so call us.

Who covers an early-2000s Sonata?

Only Ksport, which has one kit for it.

Does the original Tiburon get DS from BC?

No, BR only. The second Tiburon adds DS and RM.

Is there an Accent kit for 2005 to 2011?

No kit here covers those years. Ksport's Accent kit ends at 2004 and BC's starts at 2012. Call us.
