What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[MerlintheMad]

Just installed red BMS braces.

Oh, really? No pic, it didn't happen. Hah. (JK, I believe you, but still ...)

Im pretty sure as you go thru modes suspension and steering feel change. I could be wrong.

I have an LSD according to the sticker MSRP page...

The gt trim doesn't have adaptive dampers. Everything else yes.

Why did the car feel the same when I was comparing the GT to the GT1 and both being RWD? Was it because both were in Sport mode?

The non adaptive dampers are stiffer than the adaptive in comfort but not as stiff as the sport setting. However , people who have driven them back to back said the non adaptive are closer to the sport setting than comfort so that would explain that.

My goodness! Is that actual real carbon fiber? It looks really good! Btw where did you get that steering wheel overlay sticker? I like it a lot...

 

[The Madhouse]

Got it on the forum store but I don't see the cf one on currently just the the black background with gt.

Apparently these ones from China are shit in terms of quality and fitting. I bought mine from Mat Metrics (Mat Metrics Custom Fit Car Floor Mats). They're located in Markham. Everything is made here in their warehouse. They offer a 3 year warranty. I provided them with the 3D scans of my car and was one of the first to have it in my car. It does look good with excellent coverage. I was sick of having all that salt built up on my carpeted areas after Winters. A bitch to clean....not anymore.

I can't tell the difference with the adjustable dampers from sport to custom (when custom is set to "comfort"). It's like a 5% difference or something, in my observation, if that.

Whiteline sways made a huge difference, and thankfully, I now have the ECS10 to adjust the handling much more significantly.

All that carbon fiber probably costs more than my first car. Hah. I think it looks great.

New tires! Yokohama Advan sport A/S +
Replacing General Tire Perf. All seasons

Hello DoctorStiches, let us know what you think of the Yokes after you run them some. I work at the Yokohama Tire plant in Salem, Virginia and am planning on putting a set of the Advans on my GT1 when the Michelins wear out.

About 600 miles on them. Went with 235/40 265/35 as my car is staggered type and wanted a little more sidewall and footprint. The fronts lost the strech look and filled about a half inch of wheel well air. The rears look a lil beefy-er and stuff...
So far the road feel is very improved
Dare i say it kinda feels as if the swaybar is stiffer but i know thats crazy talk.

Turn in feel more natural if you know what im saying. Hard to discribe in words but ill try, when entering a corner the apex is a safe place now where as (in a turn over 90 degrees) the car would begin to 'walk' outwards into the curve on stock 225 40 tires.

This is just a review of tire sizes sorry

Have not spun them yet so theres that.

They handled snow very well.

Road noise is better than the sport 4 that came on it.

I think thats all so far.
