I am new to modifying anything on a car but I bought my 2021 K5 GT-Line AWD with the intent of modifying some things... how can someone NOT play around with mods on this car? I am sure Kia made this car knowing tens of thousands of us would be playing around with it. I may sound stupid but I feel asking this forum is less threatening than walking blindly into a car mod shop.
1. I want to get new wheels and tires. I have the 18 AWD Pirelli wheels and tires and would like to up my wheels to 19 or 20 inches. I am assuming I would need to get tires that can fit this new size.. sorry, probably a remedial question haha.
2. The fake exhaust makes me stay awake at night... I have seen on 25 seconds (!) video of someone on Youtube who changed the exhaust to that of the GT edition... has anyone else done this? Know how to do this?
3. I bought the performance chip for the K5 and wondering if anything else should be upgraded for this chip ie brake calipers. Or should the calipers be upgraded anyhow when I upgrade the tires/wheels?
4. Audio.. gimme some pointers on ripping out the stock audio and ballpark pricing on loading this girl up with primo sound.
5. Sport suspension bar... has anyone added this to their K5?
6. Lowering springs.. does this affect MPG and or AWD performance? Can I lower only the back? Or would that kill the car/performance?
I am sure I will get more questions but let's start with these 6. Thank you all! This forum is awesome.
