I guess nobody needed any parts installed?!

At that last meet? No it was just a get together ie. too much alcohol...

@BertBert2019GT I'm thinking about going with the SXTH dual OCC if you want to do another round of those

Hey everyone! Sadly, I ended up selling my Stinger last month . I did make a pretty penny though!!

 

[Rev_Night]

Hey does anyone in NOVA know of a good shop to install mods for my Stinger? I am getting quotes for Springs/sways installs, and a local shop (GT Peace Auto) rates were rather exorbitant.

Install rates:

• Sways - $625
• Springs - $625
• 5.1 Fluid Flush - $199 (Includes $80 castrol SRF, worth $60ish on Amazon)
• SS Brake Lines - $250

Hey all! Also from N.VA (Centreville area). Bought my MY22 in December and I'm pretty much only interested in getting the sways done. Looking for shop recommendations. Even saw some on here saying dealerships were willing to install them for some people, which surprised me.

My previous car (2009 Scion xB manual) I did most of the maintenance myself, but not so sure I'm willing to do that with this car...at least not yet.

I'm in Fairfax corner. Happy to help if you want to do them yourself when the weather stays warm

I might have to take you up on that offer! I've always enjoyed working on my own vehicles. But where I live, I'm in a townhouse on a slight hill. Not exactly ideal

@BertBert2019GT did quite a few of my installs including my Eibach sways. My home (I am about 40 minutes away) is always open to Stinger installs. I have just about everything needed.

I use the top floor of my parking garage if its not too hot (sorry @Luminary — I still feel bad about that!). Next to uncle julio’s in fairfax corner. Doing it at @Luminary’s home is always a good time. Would have to be in next 8 weeks as i’m moving away after that. If anyone else has go-fast parts they want installed we could make a ‘spring parts-install bbq’ out of it

lol yeah it was stupid hot that day! I am always up to hosting a meet and install at my house.
BBQ sounds good too! The pool will be open (and heated) soon, so bonus there!

In 8 Weeks??!! Would love to see you two before you head out. <3

Northern va isn’t too far for me lol about a 45 min drive. I need my rear sway bar installed with endlinks as well as my snorkels. Not trying to invade you guys party but would love to link with other fellow stinger members and learn from you guys and gals .

 

[bfglitch]

Well damn guess that means I'll need to get the sways pretty soon. Was looking at the Eibach but it seems the rears have been on backorder for a while.

Whiteline front sway bar was on back order for me for about a month. Just confirmed it will ship April 3rd. My rear sway bar came pretty quick with endlinks

 

[bfglitch]

I've heard that pretty much going with any sways over stock is a huge improvement. Any special reason to get the end links with the whiteline as opposed to without the end links?

 

[bfglitch]

Alright, just ordered the Ark sway kit as they were in stock and guaranteed to ship today. If there's anything else I should get prior to install please let me know. I've seen/read of folks also putting a few wraps of the yellow teflon tape normally used for gas pipe installs which makes some sense as it's a bit better than the white stuff normally used for water plumbing. Anyways, looking forward to having better handling. Not entirely enthusiastic about the slightly squirrely rear. Then again the last time I drove a rear wheel drive vehicle was an 88 full size Bronco.

Was just out at Fair Oaks Mall. Parked in the middle of nowhere where Texas de Brazil is. Lo and behold I come back and there's a fellow Stinger parked next to me. Not sure if you frequent the site or not, but to whomever drives a Panthera Metal Stinger with a CF hood, tinted windows and aftermarket wheels and several other mods....Greetings! Wish I could have stuck around and had a chat but I had to get going.
