I just put some KYB GR-2/Excel-G shocks and struts on my 5. My 5 has 62K miles and the shocks and struts were pretty much blown about 10K miles ago. The front passenger was the only one leaking fluid but the entire ride was rough so I knew they all had to get swapped out. If you're looking for...

I'm looking for a 'how to' to change the rear pads on my 5. I know how to do brakes but I cant take the rear pads out. The pad next to the caliper piston is attached to the piston itself. It's weird. I've never seen that before. The back of the pads have this thin metal clip like thing... I...

Which M3, 4 door sedan or 5 door hatch, is our 5's more similar to in terms of suspension/ride height? I'm looking to get the Tein H-Tech's but only if our 5's have the stock ride height more similar to the sedan. Tein's website says the H-Tech's will lower the 4 door sedan 1 inch in front and...

I noticed some fluid under my car the other day. I looked underneath and everything was ok. I popped the hood and noticed some fluid under the upper-passenger motor mount. I'm like 'WTF is this?' It seems like that mount is filled with some sort of fluid. Maybe hydrolic fluid to help with...

Well ladies, I got my replacement ballast today :D I would of installed the kit and started this thread earlier but I promised my son I would take him to Chuck E. Cheese today. Anyway, I installed them after we got back... You know how hard it is to install bulbs when your hands are freezing...

... Here's my Auto, White Water Pearl 06 Mazda 5 Touring w/Navi... Have had it since Feb. of 06. I love this car. Enough room for me and my kids to go camping, to the beach, whatever... My only complaint is that I wish this thing had some sort of traction control. I am happy to report that...

I know there are a few people running Mazda 3 Lowering Spring on their Mazda 5. I'm not looking for a big drop. No more than an inch. That being said, the springs I am considering right now are the racing beat springs and the mazdaspeed 3 springs. So is anyone having problems using the 3...
