What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

Took @Stinger GT SS advice and took The purple one for an exhaust inspection at a exhaust specialist. After a quick drive he agreed theres some bad vibration even though I dynamatted the boot area.

His solution change the cross pipe and add 2 more resonators. $1200 ouch. Top bloke though very informative. If I had my name again I would 100% have gone an EVC model.

How does it feels, now that they're on? Only rear or front and back?

Normal feel, less twitchy under pressure, soft setting front and back

I wonder what is the best upgrade, for cornering stability and agressiveness : Lower springs or front & rear sway bar? Anyone with either one of those mods or possibly both?

Not much change if you do both rather than sways alone. Except car is lower which means more kerb hits and a lower cenrte of gravity. Harder ride too with springs.

Very nice touch @FitR6 looks goooord. I'm having mine done tomorrow also in gloss black. Hopefully It turns out like yours.

What did i do to my Stinger today? Well i added my first curb rash to the passengers front left. Secondly I helped Kia sell a Stinger: on my round of quote visits for my spoiler fit and paint. A smash repair owner got the virtues of owning a stinger along with my sales pitch when he foolishly asked questions about the vehicle. Now people that know me know I like a chat, so an hour later and only at my first quote I left. Kia commision on a snow white pearl gt with red nappa leather please.

I put a dent in my alloy wheel too on Tuesday. You should have heard me when I got out to have a look ....I put the wharfies to shame with what words came out of my mouth! Lol. Was coming out of Penrith Plaza carpark and hit the bloody concrete step that separates the two lanes. I didn't even know it was there! I found out the hard way. Have contacted a mobile wheel repairer and they quoted $160 to repair it, but I think I might wait until after Christmas. If I jumped up and got things repaired every time there was a small chip or dent I would be a nervous wreck!

Welcome to the club!! I would leave it for the moment but get a fine nail file and carefully go over the sharp edges and it won't look so bad. A couple of months ago I stumbled across a wheel repairer when I was looking for something else and we chatted for over 30min. Almost half his work comes from dissatisfied customers who have used mobile repairers. Typically they just grind and polish the damaged area usually leaving a depression. Some will claim to "fill" the depression but the end result is far from perfect. He claims the only way to do a proper repair is on a lathe by taking a fine layer off the entire rim and then repainting the entire wheel. I saw some examples from mobile guys and the work was really crappy. His price is around $300-$350 per wheel.
