Greetings to everyone here at the forum! I am a long time lurker since I bought my 2016 Mazda CX-5 back in Sept of 2015. My car has approximately 59,xxx miles on the odometer. I decided that I wanted to add a little more handling performance to my Mazda CX-5 since I like to drive a little spirited once in a while. Although the CX-5 has great handling dynamic caracterictics from the factory I felt there was still room for much improvement. So at 59,XXX miles I decided to change the struts/shocks despite them still being in useful conditions.
My initial review of the Konis Red Active Technology shocks/struts has to be one of the best bang for the buck modifications. This has changed the driving handling dynamics of the car for the better. The car squatting when accelerating and nose dive when braking are completely eliminated. The ride quality also improved. And when taking the twisty curves it flattens out with minimum sway inclination, way better than OEM struts/shocks. I wish I had done this modification on the first 1,000 km when I had the car brand new. I cannot praise enough these Konis shocks/struts. I have not read anyone here at the forum that has done Koni Shocks/Struts modification to their CX-5, so I decided to share my initial review of them on the first 100 miles of testing them. I highly recommend them for those still on the wall indecisive if they should put these on their ride. For me it was worth the money, and had I known before I would have swapped them a long time ago.
