    vibration after lowering with eibachs under acceleration

They have a bunch of fixes but non apply to this vehicle. something to do with how the axle sits in the cup, wear spots ect. etc. the was a good thread on an evo forum about it. one...

    vibration after lowering with eibachs under acceleration

    After I completed my eibach install and drove the car, i have a prominent vibration about the car under load when crusing. If I stop and pull off hard its smooth, only while your moving and load up the car. Any ideas from anyone??

    Do you smell coolant around your car?/ warranty / bad mechanics ? DIY

    mine went well below low as well. I have topped it off since and have been doing eibach this week and the smell is still going strong. There is also a lot more trace evidence of coolant around the coolant banjo to the turbo, as well as spots all over the compresser housing.

    MoTeC Plugin ECU

    pretty steep..if you dropped the price 50% id bet your sales/profit over a 5 year span would triple if not quadruple, I also don't know how much you've put into r&d or what the cost is per unit on your end so my opinion might not be spot on.

    Do you smell coolant around your car?/ warranty / bad mechanics ? DIY

    Mine is the inlet lines to the turbo...looks like the crush washers seep out, you can tell because there will be a white crusty build up around the banjo bolt. I had kia confirm my suspicion after I argued with the mechanic who "already checked everywhere" to simply look...after he looked, there...

    Do you smell coolant around your car?/ warranty / bad mechanics ? DIY

    Since I bought my stinger, I smell coolant coming from the engine bay, especially when I park in the garage and get out. I've brought my car to two of my local dealers and every issue I have, that I try to get covered under warranty they can't recreate. I'm pretty sure I have found the source of...

    2020 SUPRA VS KIA STINGER AND MORE

    Very observant...it was actually the guys gf driving when I got a chance to line up, they were 11 and 10 second Supras all day. Only flash tune and exhust ran the 11, and the other one had a slightly bigger turbo doing the 10.9. 300 miles on the dash with a turbo upgrade..WTF.

    Kia Stinger sales numbers are lower this year compared to last year

    the fact there is a bunch of low mile used stingers rolling out doesn't help either, my brother is looking at one with 4000 miles for 28,000

    Kia Optima wheels on a Stinger GT?

    I agree. I also ordered a set of 5mm spacers to flush it up to the body. I'm going to make a video of the install of the spacers. I just want to add the AWD seems to adore this squared set up. There is a perfect amount of oversteer now. I think from the factory, it was set up for understeer.

    Kia Optima wheels on a Stinger GT?

    Thanks. It might be in my head, the car feels like it actually performs better also. The tpms light is on as well, but I know how much air is in the tires because I put it there. Eventually I will beef up the rubber slightly and fix it, but for now its not bad at all.

    Kia Optima wheels on a Stinger GT?

    I had a set of 20s on my Optima that I kept when I traded it in for this Stinger. I had them posted on Craigslist for 600$ for 5 months, and no one wanted them. :unsure: . I was bored yesterday so I decided to try them on. They are 20x8.5 +40, all the way around, not staggered. I also weighed...
