    H&R Lowering Spring Issue

    I got the bump stops trimmed by 50 mm in the end, it’s ok now. I still think it’s firm in the rear but it’s totally driveable now. I don’t know why H&R springs drop it so far in the back - bizarre. I feel that shock travel is compromised, and it looks stupid. At some point I may get custom rear...

    H&R Lowering Spring Issue

    Yes yes yes. The more I think about it, the more I am certain I am riding on the bump stops. H&R said they are only 25% stiffer, so it’s not the springs.

    H&R Lowering Spring Issue

    I recently had a shop put H&R lowering springs in my 2018 CX5 - the front rides fine but the back is super firm - like it has barely any suspension at all back there. I have lowered heaps of cars before and I know this doesn’t feel right - the balance front to rear is way off. Any ideas? My...

    Probably not now after this experience, however the big boy is a lot softer in the corners than the little car - it would probably go quite well.

    It’s ridiculous. Like crazy hard just in the back. All the reviews say they are fine, but these are not fine at all. The front rides ok - totally fine. But the back has no suspension at all. I am not sure what we’ve done wrong. There was apparently no bump stops back there to cut down…. I am...

    Put some H&R’s in my little car, looks ok - a little low in the rear. Unfortunately the spring rate is too much for this model - FWD 2.0 engine - so I’ll have to take them out. Sad!

    I do wonder if Pirellis wouldve been quieter than the Michellens I got. Ive had quiet Michellens before so thought they might all be quiet. Next time Ill definitely choose Pirelli or maybe just the cheap Atturo AZ850 which is apparently not too bad. I think a lot of the euros are designed for...

    Thanks yeah quite surprising with how factory it all looks in real life. Looks quite up to date - lots of audi's and other euro's seem to have factory black out now it seems.

    The grill was a real pain for the wrap guy. I know other people have resorted to painting it gloss black rather than wrapping it. My guy just spent hours and hours wrapping each little part of the grill. It is hard to know with tyres, I would've love to tried some 22's with 'quiet' tyres just...

    Here*s a pic of the car with the stock rims painted black - I guess there*s not much difference in photos, but in real life the new set up is a lot more aggressive. On the road it handles a whole heap better too - it used to really feel soft on the standard eco tyres! <a...

    This is our 2018 CX5 - it was quiet on the stock wheels but adding these 20*s with cheap low profile tyres did ruin it a bit - handles great and looks quite aggressive though. (I also had a 2017 CX3 but ended up hating it) We are also thinking about blacking this car out... <a...
