The coilover gives you damper (shock) adjustment as well so you ride better, don't bottom out and handle better.

Well Tibi if your joining the big boy club your going to need adjustable links to properly utilize your bar at those ride heights (hardrace). You may or may not need a camber arm depending on your ride height, tire size and damping setting (rubbing or not under suspension movement). I don't recall; is your cx5 wrong wheel drive?
I'm in the considering phase now. I'm gathering info, if it's worth switching from springs to full adjustable coilovers or not. At this point, I'm not convinced that I will gain much, other then getting rid of the rake.
If I have to, I will replace the camber arms. I'm not sure, how much adjustment do I still have left, with my arms/rear toe adjustment.
I'm not planning to slam it to the ground, maybe something like yours, or slightly lower. As of right now, I'm scraping the bottom of the door, at many tall sidewalks.
But is so much fun driving with this setup, that I'm starting to think, that I should replace my seats with some sport seats. I'm concerned about the airbags though.
After some hard cornering, I find myself at one side of the seat. I can turn, like with a gokart.

He's in new zealand. You can get teins from japanparts, and I think Rodrigo Font said he can get teins. Or find the part number there may be a US seller. I haven't checked in over a yr.

Yes, the too two are both H&R, bottom BC. Top led crystal LED taillight,all clear, bottom (cheaper) taiwan version with red reflector. Yes they are plug and play, except for the increasing brightness when applying brakes. You have to wire tap into the 3rd brake light. There are at least 15 styles of led tails on ebay etc right now, and most seem to have gone down in price recently.
