    Question about suspension upgrades

    End links arrive today. Can I zero the preload for one axle on ramps and the other on the ground or does the car need to be level on all 4 corners when zeroing out the preload?

    Question about suspension upgrades

    re: spring rates If these OE spring rates are correct - ratio: 0.71 (F/R) 4k front / 6k rear: - ratio: 0.67 (F/R) From the Corksport website - 2.1 inch front & rear drop - Corksport spring rates were increased 17% & 32% over OE, respectively. - front: 3.4k - rear: 5.4k - ratio: 0.63 (F/R)...

    Question about suspension upgrades

    @N7turbo @AL Cx5 agree and really appreciate all the research, experimentation, and willingness to share the knowledge because otherwise everyone would be on their own trying to figure this stuff out. Feels like I’m one step closer to having my GT-style build complete which like @AL Cx5...

    Question about suspension upgrades

    The MaXpeedingrods are Adjustable Adapter Lengths: 135-175mm, 205-245mm, 255-295mm So @N7turbo are you saying for a 2" Corksport drop: front links: want 342mm so MaXpeedingrods 255-295mm is 47mm too short? rear links: want 125mm so MaXpeedingrods 135-175mm is 10mm too long? If my drop is 1"...

    Question about suspension upgrades

    Agree on the front camber bolts. Took them with me for original alignment. Better to have them on hand and can easily return them after. re: Upper control arms, my wheels are 45mm and looking to have them stick out a tiny bit more. Sounds like the lower control arms bring the bottom of the...

    Question about suspension upgrades

    Dug through the various threads and really appreciate the deep dives from @AL Cx5 @CX_MCHNE @N7turbo and @sm1ke which really helped narrow things down for my 2019 CX-5 2.5T suspension refresh. Phase 1: - Swaybars: Hardrace 7028 & 7691 front install (2) - rear install - looks the same as Megan...

    Question about suspension upgrades

    @N7turbo Also interested in the coilovers you spec and your full suspension build. My 2019 2.5T is currently running eibach pro kit springs (mild drop) with factory dampers, raijin 18" wheels with crossclimate 2 tires. Planning a suspension upgrade / 40k refresh to tighten things up without...

    CorkSport 2.5T Turbo Inlet Pipe Released!

    Thanks for the writeup, plan to do the same later this summer along with a DV+. Both are sitting on the bench. With such a tight fit wonder if it’s better to trim a bit, as the engine can move around quite a bit from one video I saw floating around. This CX-30 person cut 10mm off the TIP...

    CX-9 2.5T Engine Coolant Leaking TSB

    Found this discussion that may be of use: Reddit - Dive into anything These seem to be stout engines apart from this issue. Plan to run the car for several years now that this is fixed.

    CX-9 2.5T Engine Coolant Leaking TSB

    It depends on which way the crack on the head goes. If crack runs to the interior the coolant could mix with oil and show up in an oil analysis, and in extreme cases turn your engine oil into a milkshake. I was doing blackstone labs every 3000 miles with the pump kit they offer but they always...

    Suspension sounds after lowering spring install (2023 CX-5)

    Tien spring silencers (two on each corner where contact) - lower spring coils on the rears where they’re more stacked had a good result - I have Eibach pro kit drop. Hitting all suspension joints (lower control arm etc) with silicon spray lube (not petroleum based) to combat stick/slip...

    CX-9 2.5T Engine Coolant Leaking TSB

    Here’s another picture (rotated 90 deg to the right) of the lower left exhaust stud just above location 2 on the TSB. You can see the dried coolant on the hose on the left which is just below TSB location 2.
