lowering my 2014 cx9 gt

[olgus69]

Hi just new to the mazda world and forum. I recently purchased a 2014 cx9gt and want to lower it 30mm with king springs. Has anybody here done this? Thanks for any feedback.

There is a thread that someone posted just a few weeks ago about lowering theirs. Don't know what brand of springs, but a search will find it rather quickly.

headlight washers are not even available in US! Just noticed you have that ...

I think us U.S. users are looking at the cover below your headlight:

Does something like this, no? (off a BMW 3 series):

As far as lowering goes I found this:
Local to you I found these guy's "Pedders Suspension"

http://www.pedders.com.au/catalogue/mazda/cx-9/2007-2011-tb10a1-tb10a3-mod

Of note, the "2011-on" section mentioned nothing of springs for it, but the suspension didn't change at all after 2011, as far as I know. Could be worth a call or email to these guys to see if your CX-9 qualifies for the kit.

Edit: Additional searching found this guy who actually did it to his CX-9 with H&R springs for the Ford Edge (same platform underneath):

Pedders is an awesome company. They did a crap ton of suspension for the G8 when I had it.

I think they are activated when you use your windshield washer fluid (pull back on the stalk), but only if the headlights are on and only "at appropriate intervals"... I would take that to mean every 4 or so activation it may go on... Not sure though, as I can't test it out for ya (we don't have them in the United States)
