Kona N, KW or Fortune Auto
Code: OS (in KW kit names)
Good to know: BC does not make a kit for this car. KW marks its kit OS; Fortune Auto's kit name reads "Includes Front Endlinks, Separate Style Rear".
Hyundai Tucson, Santa Fe and Kona Coilovers
Hyundai's SUVs are easy to mix up on an order. Tucson or Santa Fe, Kona or Kona N, front or all-wheel drive: each one can change which kit fits. We carry eleven sets of Hyundai Tucson, Santa Fe and Kona coilovers: eight from BC Racing, two for the Kona N from KW and Fortune Auto, and one from Ksport.

Coilovers for three SUVs and an N
Tucson, Santa Fe, Kona
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.
Kona N first, then by model
How to find the right kit for your Hyundai SUV
Three questions tell us which kit fits.
Kona N or regular Kona
The Kona N has its own kits from KW and Fortune Auto.
FWD or AWD
Most BC kits are made for one drive type; several AWD years have no kit.
Year
Tucson kits come in four year ranges between 2005 and 2023.
BC Racing coilovers, Hyundai SUVs
Eight BC kits, mostly BR
BC Racing coilovers for the Hyundai Tucson, Santa Fe and Kona come in two series: BR and RM. Free shipping on BC Racing kits in the continental US. RM comes on the two 2010 to 2015 Tucson kits.
What BR and RM mean on these SUVs
Here is how the two BC series differ.
BR
Each BR coilover has one 30-click damping knob. It comes on all eight kits.
RM
RM is an upside-down monotube for MacPherson strut cars. It comes on the second-generation Tucson only.
Kit name notes
"Swift Front Only" is on four Tucson kits, and "Torsion Beam" (a rear axle type) is on the Kona kit.

Before you buy: what Tucson, Santa Fe and Kona owners run into
Tucsons and Santa Fes are bought for space and comfort, and few are lowered. The Kona N is built to be driven hard, and it is the one model here where owners raised a clear issue. If you have a standard Tucson, Santa Fe or Kona, the kit choice above comes down to drive layout and years.
Kona N electronic suspension and coilovers
Kona N (OS), 2022 to 2023
CarExpert lists the Kona N with electronic responsive suspension and a suspension setting in its drive modes. A separate Kona N module is sold for cars fitted with aftermarket coilovers. Swapping the electronic dampers for passive coilovers can leave the car's electronics expecting dampers that are gone.
Before you install: Ask us what module or canceller your chosen Kona N kit needs before ordering, and plan the wiring on install day.
Kona history
When Hyundai's small SUV arrived

Questions on the Kona N, AWD years and the RM option
Does the Kona kit fit the Kona N?
Not as listed. BC's Kona kit name says "Torsion Beam" and does not name the N; the Kona N has its own kits from KW and Fortune Auto.
My Tucson is a 2019 AWD. Is there a kit?
Not that we carry. The 2016 to 2021 BC kit is FWD. Call us with the VIN.
Which Tucson years have an AWD kit?
BC has an AWD kit for 2010 to 2015 only. Ksport's 2005 to 2009 Tucson kit does not name a drive type, so call us to check it for an AWD car.
Can I buy BC coilovers for a Kona N?
No. Only KW and Fortune Auto make Kona N coilovers.
Which BC series can I get on these SUVs?
You can get BR on every BC kit here, and RM on the two 2010 to 2015 Tucson kits.
Is the Fortune Auto Kona N kit a full coilover set?
Its name says it "Includes Front Endlinks" and has a "Separate Style Rear". Ask us what comes in the box.
