I already have leather, but i am seeing some wear and tear on it and would like to see whats my option out there? something beefier would be nice. Newer Mazda3? Mazdaspeed(gen1&2?)?, RX8? are they direct bolt on? steering control works? any successful swap out there?

so, whats your low beam set up? you are not driving with highbeam on all the time right?

OP, look for a thread here, Mazda Canada has no plans (at least this year) to discontinue the Mazda5. get it with the huge cash rebate now! (check unhaggle.com)

i think people complain it about mounting snowboard, skis and stuff. should have went with shark fin and stuff it somewhere

Heard good things on the Premier A/S as well, will probably try that next time what is the proper size for 215 wide 17" tires? i bought my 5 used with 215/45/17, i believe its slightly shorter than 205/55/16 anybody try 225/45/17?

thanks so much Silentnoise713, read that thread like 2-3 times. now, i am set on 2nd gen bars, with Moogs problem solver MS3 rear end link from Rockauto, and whatever Rear bushing rock auto sales. If i can find the Prothane bushing in Canada, i might give that a try too.

maybe take a pic of your rotors and the thickness of your pads and post it here? do you feel vibration as well?

thanks Silentnoise713 for the detail. what exactly is a collar in our RSB? i am not aware anything is removable except the bushing and bracket itself and the endlinks.

anybody try using stock brackets and bushing with MS3 bars? can't imagine 21mm OD vs 26mm OD being too much of a diff for a bushing. thanks!

sucks to be in that part of Canada, at least for car parts, i bet you something like that would cost your ~$100 to fix in Toronto

thanks for all the reply, so any MS3 RSB from 2006 to 2009 should fit mine no problem, correct? what exactly is the suspension difference from 2010 on wards? also, MS3 endlinks don't require me to do the 10mm to 12mm spacer right?

currently looking for a set of Rear sway bar for my 2008 Mazda 5 GT, considering the mazdaspeed3 stock RSB as i can find them easier in local dealership with discount (i am in Toronto) my questions are: 1. do i use 1st gen or 2nd gen RSB from mazdaspeed3? (i am new to mazda, sorry for this...

also a Canadian specific question, does Crutchfield carry the 05-10 mazda5 dash kit for 2 din units? I like the Eonon unit as well, but too bad they don't make one for the older mazda 5, they do however make a universal 2 din unit, but not sure if the steering control will work or do i need a...

I have used Tein Super Street on my other car, with the bump stop trimmed, and set 5 clicks from soft, they are such a smooth ride, i wonder how the lower end Tein will do on our mazda 5. those coilovers are not much more expensive than replacing a set of Koni FSD or Koni Yellow

i have just replace all 4 corners with Centric C-Tek & Stoptech street performance pads. Love that combo! the rotors are like $20/each for the front, and $16/each for the rear, i have use higher grade Centric/Stoptech rotors before on my other car, so far i am not able to tell the difference...
