    Smart City Brake Support

    So if your foot is on the brake pedal it won't work? I've almost hit the car in front of me before because I got distracted while in LA traffic jams. Thought I'd stopped by was creeping forward...

    Smart City Brake Support

    I can't imagine people "depending" on it (though having a padded wall in the garage....). Most everyone hopes to never use it.

    Who likes/drives in SPORT mode?

    I actually like it for decelerating. It downshifts quicker and slows the car down with engine... less braking. In town I'll put it in sport as I'm slowing down for a stop sign or red light

    How To Acquire Non-US Spec Head Restraints for a US-spec CX-5

    You know, I ended up leaving the JDMs up and it's easier to just push them down to lower the seats... not as awkward as removing headrests (shouldn't have to do that). I know it seems like a lot of money for that convenience but if you do it often your likely to just leave the stock headrests off.

    iPhone Car Mount Holder

    I got pro-clip for my kid's Volvo and they make it for the CX5... blocks some of the vent though (they have one for the A-pillar if you don't need power) http://www.proclipusa.com/dashboard-mounts/car-dash-mounts.aspx

    Exhaust Tips

    Love to have a 2door 510... As far as exhaust tips, Racing Beat has some that I think are 3.75in (94mm) outside diameter ... split the difference of the debate;) http://www.racingbeat.com/CX5/Exhaust-Universal-Parts.html

    AudioPilot vs Autmatic Level Control-Do they even work?

    I can see how that would be hard to tell when it's working as it's not just a volume control.

    Adjustable Camber Arm

    Looks to have a pretty big gusset... It's my daily driver that I'm just trying to lower a bit to look good. Not planning on any super aggressive driving. Price is right. We'll see

    Adjustable Camber Arm

    Just thought I'd update this as it looks like JPR just added adjustable camber arms for our vehicles... $230 I just ordered a set. http://www.jamesbaroneracing.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=43_307_363&products_id=930

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Chris, how long should it take to install those... trying to figure out how much it would cost

    spacers for stock 19in wheels - sizes

    If your not going to lower your CX than I don't think there'd be any harm with 255... except the sides of your car may get a lot dirtier in the wet;) I was kind of hoping someone had already done it but didn't get a response when I asked on another thread.

    spacers for stock 19in wheels - sizes

    I always get that + and - confused... think your right; use this site to make sure http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp good for tire widths too. I was going to max out the tire width with 255s but I think it would stick out to much with the spacers so next tires will probably be 245s in...

    Ride Quality - Lowered Springs

    Man, looking at the ride height I was hoping speed bumps and rough surfaces wouldn't be that much different with what seems a minor drop... I was driving an Infiniti Coupe with lowered springs (car was low when stock) and with the front overhang it was really getting to be a pain. Those...

    spacers for stock 19in wheels - sizes

    And some people are afraid of commercial flight because of all the ifs... it's all relative. I bet the sale of spacers to the rate of accidents due to them is similarly astronomical and mainly due to people improperly installing them.

    255/50/19 tires?

    Anyone using this size? How about Continental DWS? Says it'll fit 7 to 9in rims... that's a lot of tire for stock rims (7in). I know it'll hurt performance but this car is not my performance car. It's the grocery getting, around town & occasional trip car that I want to look good going down...

    spacers for stock 19in wheels - sizes

    The ones I bought were aluminum.. it's pretty much for looks. The rims and tires are stock. You won't notice anything in regards to acceleration, gas mileage etc... technically a wider track is better for cornering but I doubt anyone could tell the difference (would really have to be at the...
