Nice waiting for the rain break and spare time to install mine. This cx5 setup is very similar to my BMW e46, also remove the sway link bars.
Is too bad no one makes shocks yet. Waiting for koni sports.
So the ride is similar to stock? Does it feel stiffer? It would be nice if were stiffer
I found the CX-5's rear suspension to be similar to the E46 as well. I did a KW V3 install on my good friend's 330ci ZHP, and the non-coilover and control arms set up were similar. I did imagine the suspension work procedure to be the same, which is damn easy like you said.
I assume you've had all 4 corners realigned. Any issues? Did it require a camber kit?So far no complains, rides smooth and comfortable, handles well still. However only complaint is that I feel like I lost quite a bit of distance on my headlights. The headlights are auto-leveling so I dont think its the angle, but since they are electronic not sure if they can be adjusted.
Please keep us posted on how that goes.actually haven't done it yet. I gotta wait for my friends to get back to work so I can get it done for like 10 bucks instead of paying a shop 80 bucks.
maybe that is why they handle pretty well for a car this size. but since E90 BMW moved on to multilink like Audi's. I think a good shocks w/ H&R and a larger adj swaybar will make this car handle even better.
Your welcome
Any issues with the alignment?
No they didn't, but my concern is can you get it in spec without any additional mods/parts. I don't want to go to all the trouble of changing the springs out only to have an alignment shop tell me "We got it as close as we can. Keep an eye on tire wear."Alignment spec sheet should be supplied with the springs (did they mention anything about that?).
