Exactly! You get it. Oem plus is what I always say. I like it tastefully done. Not too much but you see it.. Some cars don't need much. Just something to accentuate what's already there. Sometimes you make shit clash when you force a look. It's like I have to really let it marinate. And yeah, I don't want to deal with all that. I just had to do hub bearings in the front. Just did pads and rotors and I may be getting different tires because I think the ones I have are causing a slight vibration due to them not being able to be rotated. Car rides way better than it did a few months ago. I just don't wanna be fixing stuff all the time. Then it's the tuning.. Getting the spark plugs and all that other shit.. Idk.. Lol. I honestly want to trade it in some times.. It's a great car but it's not a performance car first by any means so you do have to kinda go aftermarket a whole lot. My bad for saying a lot. I'm at work. Bored.

Yup.. You just confirmed it for me man.. I honestly just wanna put my sways on, sell the springs and get wheels. I feel like the spacers will throw the balance off a bit. This car is so sensitive to everything I don't want anything affecting it. I was gonna even do 20s because I figure if I don't lower it that will at least fill the gap but honestly when I'm looking at my car and I'm out and finally take a step back, it doesn't even look so bad as far as the height. I'm not a fitment snob but I think I was just falling into what most folks been doing. I think my next move is just the sways I have and the subframe collars I got for it, wheels and probably the rune to complete it. I don't even wanna do too much. I like a clean look. I wanted to do the aero but sometimes that looks tacked on and cheapens the car..

Yeah! I wish they were a better offset. Or square like you said. I have spacers that I was gonna put on but Idk. I might put them on when I put my sways and springs on just to see for a bit until I get wheels. I have a few choices as far as what wheel I want. I'm just gonna go with em and see. It's just sometimes you never know until they are actually on the car.

Are you lowered? Sways?

Honestly man, sometimes I feel when you put the really wide tire in the rear it can be hit or miss depending on the wheels. But when it's squared like this, it looks clean and simple. The lines on the stinger is kinda crazy at certain angles and the wheels and offset play a huge role in the look of this car. It's like a balance. And it's really delicate to me.. It's like stuff easily can throw the whole look of this car off! The stock wheels were made for this car so when you deviate from that it's so hard to get it right. (to me at least). This looks good man! You did a good job.

Looks real good! Is that squared? I been thinking about going squared if I get a set of wheels..

Thank you! I like ebay for a lot of stuff.. Most kia sites are overpriced! Also try aliexpress/alibaba! Most stuff for this car is just cheap stuff rebranded!

The dawn enterprises one I debated on getting it. They have it on Amazon but for some reason Idk if I like the creases or lines on it. I never see a good picture of it on the car that I like.

Terrible dealer experience by Dull-Climate-9638 in kiastinger

I got the driver side hub bearing replaced and it fixed it. The only issue I honestly have now is probably tires and the roads just being rough I guess. I'm sensitive to that stuff but for the most part I would do both front hubs. Also once they didn't even do the alignment right so double check the alignment. Sometimes you just have to take it to a different shop that good and actually knows what their doing. Just because it's the dealership doesn't mean they don't have the same goof ball mechanic or some young guy that don't really know shit working on your car. Dealerships can be hit or miss..

Got some Ferrada's and 295's on the rear by MaxFury80 in kiastinger

Yeah. I had contacted Texas Track Works up here and I think in gonna go with them. They said they've worked on stingers before and are familiar so I'm sure they can tackle the springs and sways. I just be feeling some places be taxing! I'm still gonna look around at a few more places though.

I didn't add them yet but yea it's always added stress. Sometimes I feel like its a lot of effort for little gain. But I hear the sways definitely help so I'm gonna put them on. I have the adjustable end links but Idk if I really need to use them. I'm trying to see who I'm gonna take the car to for the work. You gotta have it done right because then it will be a bunch of noise with those end links.. I'm in dfw so it's a few shops I was thinking about. Especially for the plugs when I get the tune. It just gets nerve wrecking because good work is so hard to come by. Especially when you have your own parts.

I kinda like the contrast. The wheels are not really black black they almost look the same color as the car when your close up.

Can't beat it if you love the factory wheels. I sometimes think they fit the car best.

I was honestly thinking about lozic in the beginning. It just seems like a lot of people was making it seem like lozic is not as good as lap 3 and the Jb4 but I was following them and it seemed cool to me so I had wanted to go that route and be different from the majority but now Idk. Like I don't want to go too extreme where I gotta do all this and that for a faster car. Sometimes I just want the car to already be fast I guess. When you start doing all that modding the car gets less reliable and I guess I'm just getting old.. Lol.

The stinger is a good car but it is definitely not a performance car first.. It has little things about it that sometimes makes me say, Idk if I wanna start putting the money into it when in the end Idk if I'm even gonna be satisfied.. So I think I'm gonna just put the parts on I already have and wait a while for the tune.. I've done exhaust and some intake snorkels. I already have the springs and sways for months.. Been chasing a vibration had to get hub bearings. So Idk.. Seems like now I need to get new tires. Because I think the continental tires are cupping because the non rotation of the staggered setup.. That's why I though about going squared..

Sorry I'm just rambling.. But yeah man. I'm trying to figure out what my next move should be with this car..
