The kit depends on whether you have a first-generation Veloster, a second-generation car or the N. We carry five sets of Hyundai Veloster coilovers for all three, from BC Racing, Fortune Auto and Ksport.
Not sure if you need an N kit? Call 1-800-460-9106.
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.
Check these three things first.
BC's non-N kit for 2019 to 2022 says "Excl. N Model." The N has its own BC and Fortune Auto kits.
Kits for the first-generation car come from BC (from 2012) and Ksport (from 2011).
Hyundai fitted the N with electronically controlled suspension. The N kit names do not mention it, so ask us.
BC Racing coilovers for the Hyundai Veloster and Veloster N come in three series: BR, DS and RM. Free shipping on BC Racing kits in the continental US. All three BC kits come in each of those series.
Here is what each BC series does.
BR has one knob with thirty clicks that sets compression and rebound together.
DS has the same knob as BR plus a digressive piston.
RM is an upside-down monotube made for strut-type cars.
These are the other two brands we carry for the Veloster. Call 1-800-460-9106 with questions on either.
Fortune Auto makes Veloster N coilovers that come with front end links and a separate-style rear.
Ksport makes a kit for the first-generation (FS) car, from 2011.
The N comes first, then the second and first cars. Each card shows the kit name from our store.
| Group | Years | What decides the kit | BC Racing series |
|---|---|---|---|
| Veloster N | 2019 to 2022 | BC or Fortune Auto | BR, DS, RM |
| Second Veloster, not N | 2019 to 2022 | BC only, not for the N | BR, DS, RM |
| First Veloster | 2011 to 2017 | BC or Ksport | BR, DS, RM |
Here is what Veloster owners report most often in forums, recalls and service bulletins, and what each one means for your coilovers.
Hyundai's launch release says the Veloster N uses a multi-mode electronically controlled suspension. A parts seller says removing the factory electronic dampers often brings error codes or suspension service lights, and sells a canceller for it. A passive coilover kit unplugs the factory dampers, so plan for the warning before install day.
Before you install: Ask us whether your Veloster N kit needs a canceller, and order it with the kit so the drive modes keep working.
Hyundai bulletin 17-ST-001 covers a click or thud when turning the wheel, from wear in the power steering's rubber coupling, and says it is not a safety issue. Many 2012 Veloster complaints on CarComplaints describe this click, often traced to the coupler. A click after the install may be this coupler.
Before you install: Turn the wheel at a stop before the install and note any click, so a later noise can be traced to the right part.
Hyundai says it "first introduced Veloster N to media as the first of its U.S. N models at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show."
No. BC's non-N kit says "Excl. N Model." Use a kit made for the Veloster N.
Two kits: BC's Veloster N FWD kit and Fortune Auto's N kit with front end links.
Neither N kit name mentions it. Call us before ordering so we can check your car.
All three BC kits come in BR, DS or RM.
Ksport's kit starts at 2011. BC's first-generation kit starts at 2012.
BC Racing North America currently lists a two-year limited warranty on full kit orders, subject to its warranty terms. Fortune Auto and Ksport set their own.
We answer the phone weekdays, 9 AM to 5 PM Eastern.
