Yes. There is no need to access anything from the interior for the rear suspension. See pages 24+ https://corksport.com/support/instructions/CX5-3-289-WEB.pdf

I know, a color mismatch would drive me nuts. Which is why I'm hesitant. That happened on my 5 (also white). Color was not even close. Some shops here in Honolulu are now making you sign a waver that you agree that you'll accept the color mismatch before they'll take the job. Basically...

Someone backed into my 6mo old 2024 CX-5 Turbo Premium while I was at work. They did not leave a note. I'm checking to see if it was caught on the lots cameras. There is a crease where the front plate mount contacts the bumper and the black chrome grill trim shifted a little. I'm...

Odula Link - ODULA_information Yup, that's the page. Stock rates are In the parens.

A while back Craftsman sold a set called Max Axess. I think it was picked up by GearWrench and is now called Pass-Thru. Perfect for this kind of stuff.

Did you by chance get a pic of the part number for the rears shocks? If so can you confirm it is WSB2159?

Here is the alignment... Used the Megan Toe Arms to set toe and the factory toe eccentrics to pull out camber. Sorry didn't get the before printout. They were able to pull camber back from about -2.4°. So for those that have a mild drop, the toe arms may be an alternative to camber arms. No...

Confirming that they do fit. Saw some Japan KF cars with them so took the chance.

Install new OEM bumpstops for the rears. Ended up grabbing from the local stealership. This is one of those time where I can't say, "Lucky we live Hawaii". Man was it expensive! Guess I could have ordered from mainland but still would have to pay shipping. Anyway.... No change in ride...

Thanks! I did read through that one before. However, Corksport says they increased the spring rate in the rear 32% to 7kg. That is double the rate of the Odula. Stands to reason the Corksport springs will feel stiffer. Especially with ~"1 less stroke on the Bilstein and the softer portion...

It is actually slightly stiffer than stock because it does ride on the bumpstops in the rear. Cornering feels flatter but that is also because it is on the bumpstops. Odula is probably using the bumpstops as an additional spring as they are very progressive in nature. The downside is they...

Can anyone confirm if the Toe Control Arm for the KE and KF are interchangeable? Godspeed lists 2 different part numbers for the KE/KF. SPC supposedly fits both. Megan only lists one for the KE. Asking because I prefer the Megan Racing design with rubber bushings over the spherical bearing...

Put the cut pieces of the bumpstops back in the rear. Pretty much confirms that it they were not supposed to be cut. I guess I’ll be ordering replacements so that’s proper. Then get it aligned.

Actually many cars may be riding on the bump stops. NASCAR apparently does... “Now we’re using these to control the wheel loads and aero platforms by actually setting the race car on the bump stops and riding on those rather than bouncing off of them. You can consider it a spring—it’s a very...

So it seems like I was NOT supposed to trim the bumpstops. The rear came down way more than 40mm. I’m going to try put back the piece I cut tomorrow and see how that changes things. The spring rate and length were probably calculated with the bumpstop. My previous 5 (think Premacy not CX-5)...

How low are you willing to go? Just got Odulas from Japan. Specs say softer rear spring than stock but approx 40mm down. Didn't install them yet so I can't comment on the ride. Posted the info here... Bilstein B6 will probably make it feel stiffer especially on the compression stroke...

Aloha CX-5 Peeps! I just recently picked up a '24 Turbo Premium and I've been following a lot of your projects and issues. There seems to an only a few spring choices here in the US. However, that is not the case in Japan. I wanted something to get rid of the fender gaps but still...

Check your mounting bracket after a few hundred miles. This is what mine looked like before upgrading to a billet ones...

Sorry no updates yet. Probably going to install this weekend.

Rotor were cut on a bench lathe and came off relatively easy. Couple or taps with a small rubber mallet. When I got them back the first time, initially replaced in the same position and used a on-car dial gauge to measure the runout. Even tried changing positions and each time it was ~0.01"...
