- 2012 Mazda 5
Okay guys help me break this down. I want to install the H&R springs but I doubt very much that the stock shocks will hold up so to save me some time or labor money I'm opting to upgrade the shocks at the same time. The challenge is that I can't find any application for the 2012 from Koni or Bilstein. I have read that the Mazda 3's suspensions are identical so I did a quick search and here's what I found out:

Down to 2006 are the same. So by this it looks like the 2012 Mazda 5 is a different animal. The configuration with 3's may be the same but the parts are not identical. I may be wrong since I have read in some posts that the coilovers for the Mazda 3's can be used on some prior years of the Mazda 5's. Please I need some input. Thanks in advance.
