Lowing Springs for 2017 CX-5?

Based on your experience with brand new h&r coilovers that you put on your cx5? or the non existence reviews on the brand new KF springs from other cx5 owners?

Lmao. Ive talked to many, many different owners who used lowering springs on many different cars. Unless Im missing something and mazdas strut design does not follow the norm, lowering springs are still, and always will be the cheapest and most s*** possible way to lower your car. :)
 
No, cutting/heating springs is the most s*** way(shady)... for a daily driver, with no performance goals, the HRs on stock shocks (as long as they last) are fine, with little ride difference to the average driver. It's not that much of a drop - 1/5"; now CS springs with 3" drop would likely be hard to live with. Yes, coil-overs are the best option, but not worth it for just a better look, IMO

I still think youre best off just spending the extra dough on some good coilovers instead. If $500 is all youre trying to spend, sway bars are a far more effective way to gain good cornering performance.

Yes a low car looks great , but its been said time and time again by many different people- if youre going to lower your car, do it right the first time or just dont do it at all.

Im still convinced that lowering springs are the shittiest way because at least cutting your stock springs doesnt cost you anything...
