I prefer these spacers from Superior Solutions
My spacers are not that thick but they have a number of other advantages that are lacking in the H&R Trak spacers.
I will be reviewing "Air Spacers(tm)" from Superior Solutions. They are made out of a high quality, proprietary material that is not only very strong but also lightweight (the lightest on the market). It's also highly resistant to corrosion which is nice if you drive on treated roads in the winter and since this is unsprung weight the weight advantage is worth considering. Their build quality is exceptional and all surfaces are machined true to within 0.0002" (or better). There are no visible machining marks or other blemishes and they have an unconditional lifetime guarantee. These spacers have been tested under ISO 9001 Quality Assurance standards, and meet the rigid safety criteria of the German TV so you can drive them with the utmost confidence. Furthermore, you can be assured that the unique design of these spacers is guaranteed to not reduce the effective spring rate of the struts (unlike all other competitors spacers). This saves considerable money because all other wheel spacers currently on the market require new strut springs be installed on all four struts in order to maintain the OEM ride firmness which is important to driving enthusiasts. The cost of a spring upgrade (including labor) is substantial and must be factored into the cost of competitors wheel spacers if the excellent stock driving dynamics are to be maintained. Mazda equipped the CX-5 with springs designed to offer superior driving dynamics with some of the lowest body roll in it's class. Lengthening the lever arm of the 4 wheel strut suspension (as all competing spacers do) entails installing strut springs with a higher spring rate to maintain the sporty driving dynamics. Also, these spacers will not impact the proper functioning of the wheel speed sensors or related functions like ABS, TCS, DSC and TPMS and are guaranteed to not affect warranty coverage in any event nor will they increase the liklihood of A arm damage or alignment issues due to pot hole or curb impacts while parking. Competing solutions increase the wheels leverage on the A arm when a curb or pot hole is struck.
The only downside to Air Spacers(tm) is they are only available in a thickness of 0.00" (however this is easily mitigated by their very low cost). In fact, until further notice, Air Spacers are being offered at no cost to CX-5 owners and this offer includes free installation! This solution is fully endorsed by the entire team of automotive chassis engineers who designed the award winning CX-5 (unlike solutions from competitors products). This is one offer CX-5 owners will not want to pass up.
I've been running Air Spacers on my CX-5 for over 2000 miles and they have been performing flawlessly. They definitely feel like they offer more control and a firmer ride than thicker spacers (unless the struts are simultaneously upgraded to compensate for the longer lever arm). I'm definitely very pleased with this solution compared with the high cost of properly implementing competitors solutions.
