First off, there have been a LOT of questions with people wondering if Hyundai Veloster springs will work. Meh. THEY WILL FIT AND LOWER YOUR SOUL, but are not a perfect fit.

Start with the rear first! I can not stress how important that is. If you do not do the rear first and lower the front, your front bumper will hit the ground.
Remove this 10mm bolt on BOTH sides to give the brake lines some slack.

Once both bolts are removed, it's time to remove the lower bolt for the shocks. BE CAREFUL! The shocks are the only thing holding your wheels up/keeping tension on the springs.
Remove lower 17mm shock bolts from both sides (these were insanely tight)

Once the shocks are removed, jack up the rear "axle" (raising the rear of the car) much higher and adjust your jack stands accordingly.
SLOWLY lower the floor jack until the springs are loose and you can pull them out.

The stock rubber pieces for the bottom fits just fine. The top however, not so much but will work. I considered trying to get some for a veloster but wanted to keep the swap inexpensive just to make sure it all worked.
PUT BOTH SPRINGS IN TOGETHER. These springs are much shorter so you can raise the rear axle up some, just make sure the top boot stays where it needs to and that the spring hasn't shifted.
You can now put the shock bolts back in and reattach the brake line.

As you can see, it dropped the rear 2". The kit on a veloster would have done 1.3".
Like this, the car squats and looks really silly in person.

if you wanted to lower it I'm sure we could figure something out. The issue I've been running into is that almost everything needs to be custom made by you or someone you know. Been a pain but fun.
