    See the link in post #6 above for one source. They're widely available. At least they were when I did the work on my car about 8-9 years ago.

    New Member Introduction (2013 CX-5 GT AWD)

    With H&R springs, you end up with an average (front to rear) 1.5" drop, so your 2" drop was a bit more severe. Either way, if you don't use front camber bolts you end up with marginally correct camber on the front end. Since I was doing the rear correctly by replacing the lower control arms, it...

    2023 CX-5 Headlight Hi / Lo aiming question

    Years ago I had a 2013 CX-5 that I wasn't happy with the way the lights were aimed at the factory. I compounded the problem by lowering/leveling the car, dropping the rear relative to the front, which raised the lights. I dicked around with them myself trying to get them sorted and finally took...
