    Bad luck continues with my 5-month old 2016.5 CX-5

    I'd fight for a new door and there must have been something someone thought was worth getting in car. Sun shades and window not only are helpful in heat but also make it much harder for those who feel the need to do such things to see anything. Keep us updated.

    Centric Posi Quiet Pads: Special Note: CX5 pads are all the same for the front but the rears are different for the 2016+ model that use the electronic ebrake. The new pads are a good bit bigger than previous models. Rotors are the same for all models in US. I cannot speak for other countries...

    Brakenetic Rotor Initial Review: The next step for the CX5 was the brakes. Working at dealers and a performance shop over the years I've got to install a lot of brakes from OEM to Big Brake Kits. Brakenetic is a company out of California and one I had not used prior. They were very helpful...

    Extended Warranty for Used 2014 CX-5 - Do I need it?

    Having worked for dealers for 12 years I give some insight to the extended warranties. This is just a general rule of thumb and are some exclusions; If it's an extended warranty offered by the manufacturer or the dealer itself it can be worth it. (If you service it regularly there and...

    GT 19" wheel - ride quality

    I know when I drove a 16 Touring and Grand Touring back to back I actually thought the 19s were better overall. It should be noted that the tires on the 17 vs 19 are different which can at a substantial role. I do not know if this is the same with the 17 models. The Accord will most likely have...

    BFG Sport Comp 2 Wet Review: After some more time in with these tires, namely the wet, I thought it would be good to add insight to the Comp 2. Living in Florida it rains and usually when it rains it pours. So this leaves me with a good experience and testing ability. I even did some...

    SoulArmored CX-5 Build

    BFG Sport Comp 2 Review: I want to first say this isn't going to be a review on the performance aspects per say on these tires. Several tests online and on YouTube if want to see the capability of these tires. I've been able to put over 1k miles on them so far and I'm happy with them...

    Hood struts

    Most kits out there could be made to work and can be had fairly inexpensive. The trick is finding the right shock pressure so it doesn't fall nor shoot up. I've installed kits on a handful of different cars with little to no modification but not on a CX5.

    How much to widen the stance with new rims?

    I have pictures on my build thread. SoulArmored CX5 Build in this forum. Here is the setup I was talking about and it does list it as 35 not 45 so I stand corrected but mine are 45 but .5" wider rims. Username: thejeans

    How much to widen the stance with new rims?

    Really depends on the look your going for but I would do the 45 offset. I have 8.5" et45 and it is just about flush. Another forum member on here has those same tire size (falken wildpeak at I believe) with 17x8 45 offset and think it looks awesome.
