This is with CS springs.

^ Looks great! Cant wait to do some tuning to it. Recently just got the KE. Wish more options for parts though. Is like a forgotten child

Has anyone tried the AutoExe springs for the CX-5?

 

[CX-5um]

Man CS springs are low.

 

[tibimakai]

I would like to lower the rear, even more.(whistle)

tibimakai,
Have you adjusted your headlights? I imagine they're pointing down quite a bit. Mine did a bit with the H&R springs. I tried adjusting the headlights with the screw on the back but it didn't seem to help much. Guess if there was a way to adjust that headlight lever on the rear suspension...

 

[tibimakai]

I did not adjust them. Why they would point down, I don't understand.

There's an adjuster on the rear suspension (2016 at least).. if the back end drops due to heavy load, the headlights aim downward to compensate. With lowering, it doesn't know the front is lowered too so the headlights point a bit downward; mine did a little with the H&Rs. Just enough to be a little bit bothersome on a dark highway going 70-80mph. There's a thread on it. Here's pick of the auto-adjuster. Was hoping someone found a way to adjust (and how much)

All CX5 have this, or only the automatic HID systems?
