What are your ground to fender measurements? With 225/55 r19's, CS springs and Bilstein Shocks mine is as follows. Front 29.375 Rear 30.25 As measured vertically aligned with the center caps of the wheels. Front Rear Visual Curious what others are at, even stock suspension.

Was just wondering if anyone has ever changed their front sway bar bushings on their first gen cx-9. How difficult is it to do..?

Did anyone installed the H&R lowering spring for 2017+? I heard they discontinued the eibach and there are many positive feedback on them. I might be able to find a set but I also see H&R is available at many places. Just wanted to know if there are any feedback from H&R. Thanks!

Hello guys, I have a pair of front 1.5" strut spacers installed and a pair of 1.5" rear spring spacers installed. However because of this set up, the rear shock absorber got stretched longer by 1.5" and as a result, it has a much shorter downward travel and a longer upward travel. The problem...

Hey guys, been a lurker here for while and decided it was time to finally do some posting. My fiance has a 2008 CX-9 Sport and its been a great vehicle since she got it. The issue I'm having is I live in MN and the salty winters are pretty hard on vehicles here. I just got tires put on and...

Has anyone ever lifted their gen 2 mazda CX-5? If so, what did you use to lift (spacers, the whole suspension, etc..)? How did you deal with the alignment (camber and toe)?

Hey guys, I joined the forum today so apologies in advance if my formatting sucks or I'm asking questions that've been asked before, but I couldn't find a real answer for this from searching other threads. I've been looking into lowered coil springs for my CX-5 mostly just for aesthetics. I've...

Hello, Im having a clunking sound coming from my right rear suspension and Im almost 99.9% sure that it is the strut mount that is to blame. I have a few questions because the car is so rusted. 1. How exactly can I check to see if it is strut mount that is at fault. 2. If I remove the strut...

First time posting here so grateful for any insight....there's a single click / tap sound from both the left or front wheels (not at the same time) when they are turned at low speeds - turning in and out of driveways, pulling out of side streets etc. The noises come and go though out the day...

So, Ive seen a lot of chatter about the new 2.5T engine and how nice the added power makes the car. I do feel like the base engine lags before you actually get a slight power jolt. I however havent seem much talk about the new 2019 G-vectoring system upgrade. Any thoughts or inputs about the new...

Just looking for a stock set of Mazdaspeed Protege springs to get the 3/4" drop and a little bit stiffer ride in my 1999 DX 1.6. MazdaSpeed Protege springs part #: 0000-8M-C13 Let me know what you got! Thanks.

Hello All, I'm quite new here. I just recently bought a 2002 Mazda Protege5. I was just wondering if anyone knows of what brands are good for Strut Assemblies. As the only major problem with the car is the struts. Coilovers are an option but I prefer OE at the moment. Anything helps.

I found a splatter of grease on my driver side wheel, when I took it off to see where it was coming from I came to find out it was from what looks to be a ball joint on the tie rod. I been trying to see if I could just replace the ball joint itself or if I will have to buy the entire tie rod...

SOLD I am selling a complete set of practically brand new Tokico Illumina struts (BB2223-2226) and Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs (5541.140) for a Protege5. The struts and springs are technically used, however, they have less than 200 miles on them! I was unfortunately rear ended less than a...

Hopefully these pics will show the amount of change after the springs were installed. Difference is subtle but very noticeable to me. Not that noticeable to most other people but that's okay. Overall the drop was just about what H&R claims...1.25" in front and about 1.75" in rear. We'll see how...

Time for new tires and I'm thinking of adding H&R lowering springs as well to drop the wheel well height a little. Is it as simple as having the springs installed or are there other suspension things that have to be done as well? Thx! Bill

Got my 2003.5 MSP and love it, but my BCR coils don't have adjustable caster and it pulls right. Short of machining a new top mounting plate, what are my options? BCRs are marketed to be modular but I asked some of the guys running the booth at GridLife South and they said adjustable...

I have a set of Tein S-Tech springs that I've had on my Protege5 since 2011 until a week ago for sale for $35. Just trying to get them gone so they don't sit around my garage taking up space and so I don't just trash them. I did cut 1 coil off back about a week after I initially installed...

Hi all, please forgive me if this has been answered in previous discussions. I have only recently bought a 2014 CX5 (right hand drive) and have noticed a metallic clang/rattle in the front passenger side suspension area (I believe). The rattle mainly occurs turning left or right and over uneven...
