Since I see several topics looking for things for our GTs and non GTs. Ive decided to make a one stop topic for links and discussions for Mods and Performance Upgrades.

Looks sharp. Like to hear your thoughts on how it feels. Any noticeable change in performance? Is it overtly load or similar to stock? Did you get the dry filter?

Feels good, sounds good, I did not get the dry filter package.

I got the pro kit from eibach with their front and rear sway bars and lowering springs. (Sold for the Elantra GT). The springs lowered it about an inch in both the front and back. Driven it maybe 100-150 miles and it feels way better than the OEM ones. Really happy with them.

Here's a picture with it after lowering, the gap between the wheels and the wheel wells is pretty much gone. It doesn't look uneven or weird, looks like eibach did a good job making it swap and play. The only hard part of the install was that the front requires removing the steering column and control arms. Took about 5 hours to get everything done with help from a mechanic at a shop.

Do you have the part number for those lowering springs from eibach? I found that eibach doesn't list a spring for the 2020 elantra gt yet.

I ended up changing the fogs with these and they didn’t throw any codes.

This is what I bought, I think it's listed for the veloster, but it works for the forte and Elantra as well. Lift Kits, Lowering Springs, Race Springs, Shocks & Sway Bars

So the whole kit works for the forte? Or is it just the springs that work?

I'm a new owner of a 2020 Forte GT and stumbled on this 5$ BOV mod. I find it sketch that comments aren't allowed but found a similar video for the veloster and the poster didn't run into any problems. Any reason this would be a bad idea? @2:20

So, no one has any thoughts on this? Was hoping for a response before I do this but looks like I will try it out and let everyone know how it went.

Just go to lowes, home depot, or ACE hardware instead on ordering from them.

Added the go fast bits blow off valve (t9211), currently running in a 50/50 config. Sounds pretty sweet, wish the turbo didn't lag so much. Also added the mac bov solenoid. No cel or issues so far. Spaces are tight under the car, first time I've done such an installation too. Took about 2.5 hours total.
