Adjustable End Links…Anyone install these on their CX-5?

[AL Cx5]

The adjustable sway bar links fixed my ride quality. Night and day! The car now just rides a little firmer than stock. This needs to be on the list of required supporting mods with lowering springs.

Yep I believe I said that several months ago. Great find.

All these little tricks makes me appreciate tradesmen. If I hadn't done it myself, I would NEVER appreciate their knowledge and skills.

Had a '96 Mazda Miata, some years back. Had the thing for nearly six years and did almost everything myself. Wanted to learn, and the car's simple enough that it invites DIY efforts on most things. Learned probably a third of the little tricks, and learned to greatly appreciate skilled master techs for the hard-earned, experienced knowledge they've developed.

Rebuilt the suspension a half dozen times, until I found a combination I was happy with (incl bushings, coilovers, anti-sway bars). Installed a high-performance radiator, all new hoses in the engine bay, all the fluids, seals, gaskets; brakes, window tracks/regulator/parts, timing belt, tensioner, lighting; soft top, roll bar; and the little stuff like oil/filter, air filters, tire rotations, and a few other "engine bay" items I've long since forgotten. Had a shop do the exhaust, had another shop do the alignments. Never had to crack open the engine block, alternator was fine, and the clutch was fine. Well-maintained. Probably in better shape than when I purchased it with ~10Kmi on it.

For me, though, the CX-5's got a bit more complexity, more stuff stuffed into the engine bay, more stuff in the way. Probably not much harder, but I'm another 25+ years older.

If someone is looking for a cheaper option, these might work. I can't vouch for them, but the lengths and studs are correct. As it sits I have the Super Pros maxed out, so a little more length would be nice.

I would like this thread merged with the other. I'll post this here so it all stays in order when merged.

I plan on installing these tomorrow.

Hi there. I have a 2025 and looking to install CS lowering springs. I've read this whole thread and there was so much information, it was kind of overwhelming lol So if you would be so kind as to confirm, all I need is the lowering springs and these adjustable end links and I'll be good? I read elsewhere that I would need rear camber arms to get proper camber, did you do that?

You should absolutely not install lowering springs on your factory struts.

Yes. The arms from LYKT on eBay or Megan Racing will work.
