First Kia

What are the benefits of front/rear swsy bars. I couldn't be happier with the handling as it is. Does it make that big of an impact

I've driven both engines on oem sways, and the 3.3l on eibach sways front and rear. the lighter engine of the 2.0l makes a big difference in how the rear behaves because of the weight distribution. what else could it be?. the stock sway bars are just fine on the 2.0l trims and I presume the 2.5l gt-line as well since the weight is the same as the 2.0l. the 3.3l definitely benefits a ton with the stiffer aftermarket sways.

I miss the throaty roar of 460 hp v8! However I love the sound of sucking air and blow off. The comfort, style and every thing Kia offered for safety and driving ease more than makes up for anything I miss. Plus I'm convinced my stinger is quicker off the line.

1st off, Welcome!

2nd: The bold wouldn't surprise me. 0-60 numbers put your old Mustang GT at about 0.4 seconds faster than the 2022 Stinger AWD, but I really think you have to try very hard to prevent the Stinger AWD from hooking up quickly from a launch.

No matter how you slice it, The stinger is one fun car!

This is also my first Kia as well as my first performance vehicle and it's exactly what I was hoping it would be.

As for the front and rear sways, I highly recommend them. The rear helps a bit with the body roll and some of the rear end skip/hop in turns, the front makes the steering so much more responsive and predictable and also helps with the body roll. The two together makes cornering very fun and provides quite a bit more confidence in the car during cornering. I do have the RWD version so it'll probably feel a bit different than the AWD.

Welcome!!! I made the jump last year from a 4 cylinder Camry and never looked back.

I agree with the rest. The sways were the first mod I did and it was a huge difference on RWD. I waited about 3-4k miles and the difference is worth it.
