Hi, guys -
The modding bug has struck again and I'm looking for some performance springs for my 2.0 petrol i30cw/estate (Elantra Touring here in the States).  I'm looking to stick with the stock struts for now since they only have 10K on them. Definitely don't want to compromise too much ride quality, and will be satisfied with a mild, but noticeable, drop.

H&R was my first attempt based on my research, however, the model 52015 for my vehicle is apparently still "in development" even though they are listed on several vendor sites.  I've started looking at some of the foreign brands listed for the i30cw/estate but I'm running into some issues.

First, I'm unfamiliar with brands like GMAX, Spax and Weitic versus the usuals like H&R and Eibach.  How do they compare in drop, overall quality and ride quality?  Which models will work with my particular vehicle?

Second, does anyone know of a vendor or person who is willing to ship these over seas to me?  I have Paypal.

Thanks in advance for your help, everyone!

Heh, actually just found these tonight by chance:  http://www.tunershop.com/Suspensions/Springs/Eibach/Eibach_springs_-_Pro_Kit_-_Hyundai_i30_CW_%28Kombi_-_Station_Wagon%29_%28FD%29_%28Hyundai_i30_CW_%28Kombi_-_Station_Wagon%29_%28FD%29%29_x200_230_234x_p237082_h16_m6833.html

Turns out Eibach makes a pro-kit for the i30cw 2.0 petrol.  Why it doesn't show up as compatible with the Touring on the USA sites is beyond me.  Got a great deal on them too, only 240 USD shipped.
