Tried to fix a little detail that was bugging me from the previous owner. The lower grill was pushed in a little bit. Took the bumper off (easiest bumper R&I I’ve ever done) and found out it seems when backing up the bottom lip of the bumper caught something and pulled the cover, which broke some tabs unfortunately. I got the corners to snap back in but will need a new bumper if I want the bottom to snap in as it broke off the tabs that push the other tabs to snap and stay in place
Front sway bars went on today, along with whiteline endlinks. Rear is already on, and still waiting for rear whiteline endlinks on backorder. Springs hopefully go on in a week.

1.18" Front, .787" back or 30mm front and 20mm back
Here is a blurb on H&R's website:
Kia Stinger
Following the spectacular Stinger, we now also tackle the “normal” Kia Stinger. The lowering is approx. 30mm on the front axle and approx. 20mm on the rear axle.
Kia Stinger
Type CK (gasoline 4WD/AWD + Diesel 2WD/RWD) with adaptive suspension.
Specifically for the endlinks? No, though I did find that they're a half inch longer than stock at the shortest adjustment, I've got them set there for now. Technically I should adjust them under load to remove any preload, however, I can't get under there in my garage, the sway should be more or less parallel to the ground so that as the suspension compresses or decompresses its doing so from the middle of the range of motion.
Tip for installing the front sway though, endlinks onto the sway first, then attach the endlinks to the struts first, then rotate the sway up into place.
Super easy install, and major improvement over stock. Some people are reporting "harshness" after the install, I get zero harshness, but turn in is fantastic now.
Shout out to G4WERKZ! the front splitter turned out great! They normally stock CF but that didn't stop them from getting one to body shop next day and producing this high quality piece. Installation was a piece of cake with a lift!
Looking perfect as always, it seems your using a Tyre Shine, can you let me know which one your using, looking at the photo I posted yesterday looked good, but the finishing touch would of been the look you get from the tyre shine.

I guess I could have done that or been more careful but either way it is not reusable so the quick aggressive route is much more satisfying.
Edit: Also I am far to anal to have to look at an lazy ass overlay stick on job every time I get in my Stinger. My hands would like breakout into a rash being so close to craftsmanship.

There's no cleaner way of removing the steering 
craftsmanship.
