First Stinger

[ruggerheist]

Just here to introduce my ‘22 Scorpion Edition. Just got it a few weeks ago. Had a Legacy GT years ago and went hard down the modding rabbit hole. I’m not trying to do that again but I am considering the aFe intakes and maybe rear sways and springs. Any insight would be appreciated. I’ll be around lurking in the shadows.

Welcome! I love that colour combo along with the black wheels. I think you're on the right track with the mods you're considering. In my opinion if you could only do one mod the front and rear sway bar combo from Eibach is it. Totally transforms the handling with a big improvment in both body roll and steering feel.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your new Stinger! What did the Stinger replace for you? You had something after the Subaru Legacy? I’m glad you found us.

After the legacy I had a 2015.5 Volvo V60 R-Design with Polestar. Then had to get into a Tacoma for work. Taco was a manual so that made it slightly more bearable.

First time into some twisties and the back end felt really loose. That’s why I only considered rear sways.

the rear bar will control that. but the front bar produces consistent steering feedback. the front bar has made me rather ballsy cornering, the steering feedback is that good.

Welcome to the forum @ruggerheist and congratulations on your Scorpion Edition!

The Stinger is a great platform to modify and you already listed some great parts to start with.

Sway bars are a must-have and we actually offer a combo kit with springs; (FOUND HERE)

I would recommend the Injen Intakes that we run on our shop car for the best sound & performance.

Let us know if you need help finding anything or if you’d like to order with a new member discount.

Welcome to the hive! Front and rear sway bars as mentioned are a great upgrade

Welcome! I have the same exact car and am absolutely in love with it (second Stinger, had an Aurora Black '19 GT). Enjoy the new ride!
