Best mods to purchase before a tune?

[cLaw]

Pretty much the title but, what are the best mods to buy before going for an ecu/tcu tune? Im asking this in a way of preserving the health of the car/engine and safety. Just want to have everything in order to avoid things like misfires, limp mode, and whatever else may come with increasing the power of your vehicle. Not sure if this is a weird question or if the answer is simply just spark plugs but I am still pretty new lol. Thank you!

Spark plugs for sure, nothing else is really necessary. That said, if you order an ECU from Lozic the order form asks about a couple different modifications, so you may want to get revisions if you modify it more later and that will cost a little bit of time and money.
Also, sway bars.

Just spark plugs. If you want more, intake/exhaust/intercooler.

Spark plugs. The right spark plugs, don't cheap out. Next I would look at tires, no point in extra power if you're still spinning.

Hi cLaw

Welcome to the Stinger Forum and congrats on your new Kia!

I'd highly recommend changing out your stock plugs to the HKS Spark Plugs before installing a ecu/tcu tune.

We'd also recommend installing an Oil Catch Can, you can view our Catch Can Collection HERE .

You can view all of our available aftermarket or OEM products on our website at www.K8StingerStore.com!

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if you would like a discount on your order!

Enjoy your new ride!
