3.3TT Buyers Remorse?

[BrandonFYIA]

Which mods do you regret? What did you or do you wish you would have gotten instead?

Car is stock... looking at removing the "Kia" front bumper badge... also want to remove the "Stinger" and "GT" rear badges...

Only mods I am seriously considering are catback and tips... looking at either MBRP or Borla... hopefully someone can post here about those two and help me make a better decision...

(Based off the title I thought this post was originally about buyer's remorse for the purchase of the Stinger itself) lmfao

My last attempt at a post didn't do so well so I hoped the slightly more "clickbait-ish" title would help. I swapped my badges and it was too easy not to do. Elevated the look of the whole car instantly.

I had muffler deletes once. instant regret . Other than that, I've enjoyed all of my mods.

Vossen didn't sell the HF-1 in 20x10 in the color I wanted when I got them. I may have considered staying at 19s.

No regrets. I tend to research about something before I buy it.

Thats what im doing now, but sometimes something better comes out the day after you click buy or lots of other scenarios.

I think one thing I wish I did differently was get sway bars way sooner. Makes a HUGE difference when your driving aggressively in turns. the car stays so much more flat and composed. Feels like I have more grip and I can carry a lot more speed into a corner safely

How difficult were they to install and how much was the entire cost including parts, shipment, etc?

edit: any downside to installing sway-bars on our cars?

Front was pretty easy. Would have been easier to do with 2 people because trying to hold it up while getting the bolts in was a little challenging by myself. Rears were a bit of a pain because you have very little room to work on the driver side. you need an 18" ratchet with a 14mm socket. The more teeth in the ratchet, the better. I was moving the bolt probably 1/64 of a turn at a time with my cheap one. I have whiteline sways. I paid around $340 but they are pretty much out of stock everywhere. I got lucky when I found them. Eibach and ARK are around $450 I believe. Mine are currently for sale since I'm selling the car soon wink wink

Downsides: none. Doesn't negatively affect comfort or anything. Just makes turning better.

Sadly I fear that I will have to get it done at a mechanic shop. I park on the side of the road outside where I live and there is barely enough room to get in and out of the car let alone do any work...

Any downside you would say with installing sway-bars on our cars? They're the same as anti-roll bars correct?

Thanks friend!

I forgot to answer the downsides question so I edited above, but to reiterate, there are none. Its an awesome mod for stingers.

I'm gonna put some freaking meats for my next summer set lol. I love the wheels but just wish it filled the fenders a little more.

I think 19s look perfect. 20s just look too big to me and also make the brakes look small. I have the stock 18s and they are too small. 19 is what belongs on the stinger. Plus you have les chance of destroying a wheel on a pothole.

Lower it. It'll look so much better. trust me. Best mod I did to the car was H&R springs.

I have the car on eibachs now. It probably just needs some bigger tire
