2017~2024 CX-5 H&R or Eibach lowering springs?

That is weird, though I have a 14' model, I'm lowered 3-1/4" and I don't have this issue. I have just installed Koni Yellows.
I'm curious if the 1st gen OEM shocks are shorter. The Koni's most likely have a shorter Body
If you don't mind, could you measure the shock body on the OEM ? And maybe the Koni aswell if you can?
 
@shox75 I just did my installed. First time working on it by myself. I got the front down but the rear, how to you take the bump stop out to cut? I can get the shock absorber out then how do I pull it apart?

The nut at the top, you loosen it. Impact gun helps with this. After you can pull off the top plate with bump stop.
 
Having a rear driver side knock/noise as shown in the video I’ve attached. Wondering if it’s the shock dust cover that’s knocking and making this noise. Lowered on corksport springs.

I think I can see the dust cover move. To isolate the issue, maybe wrap a towel around the shock body to prevent the cover from making contact.
 
Dang, this thread has been super informative and the definition of scope creep. I came here thinking I’d do the springs on my ‘20 GTR and now it seems I also have to do bump stops, alignment, rear camber arms, and maybe shocks? Well, the more you know... 😂
 
I ordered Koni Special Active struts for my 2015 CX-5 (GT AWD) and was looking into the Eibach Pro-Kits, can anyone let me know what the model number is that would fit this car? Thanks

Thanks for sharing. It looks like E10-55-014-02-22 for 2.5 AWD [136kW/185HP] is the one, I went ahead and ordered this one from the EU.

Does anyone who lowered their vehicles, notice any gas milage improvement?

Hypothetically it should improve. Curious how by much..?
