From what I'm seeing, their $350 1.5" lift kit for the cx-30 will still do the job for us. I haven't tested it yet but the plan is this lift, 17" +50mm offset steelies, 235/55 R17 wrangler tires, & a rooftop tent so if I get to try it out first I'll let you know!
I've been driving on dirt roads with BC Racing coilovers (a bit dicey but kinda fun lmao) but I'm considering trying a lift and going back to my stock suspension. Cool to see this exists
I've wanted to do this to save myself back pain getting in and out of my mazda 3 for about a year now. I didn't think there would be an off the shelf kit for it....
How is the CV axle angle after installing the kit? I lifted my last car, a 2003 CRV and didn't do the subframe drop and definitely regretted it. I want my Mazda 3 to have a little more ground clearance, but I just don't want to eat CV axles again.
This is fantastic. The streets and roads where I live are riddled with really bad potholes. Will this kit work with a 2024 FWD manual Mazda 3? Will it shorten the life of other suspension components with angles changing. Thanks for sharing this.
Looks like it's just using extensions and spacers. Not sure if the suspension changed between the 2010-13 models and the 2014 and up but id imagine it's the same. Shouldn't be an issue. Realistically you could just find spacers and longer bolts that are high grade and should work just fine.
Has anyone who lifted their Mazda had any issues? My dealer says they will install it, but if a suspension component fails and they can attribute it to the kit it wont be covered under warranty. But my 24 CX50 needs a lift...
I feel like mazdas and a lot of new cars, for that matter, have really bad ground clearance, and I am considering doing this mod just to clear the speed bump in town. Am I crazy for this ?
I hope this comes to other Mazda 3 generations, I’d be interested for my 4 gen 3

@@nothinglessthannumbers did you move forward with your lift? I want to do my 2023 3 as well but curious if the CX-30 kit fits.

I hope you pre-loaded the suspension before torquing down each bolt you undid

Will this kit work on a Mazda 5? Watching your video it looks like all the part locations match and both are built on the same platform?

Its why I'm here.
HEllo, do you make this kit for a 2023 Mazda 3 Premium Sedan?
Yes yiu can use the same kit, same frame and suspension
how thick is the metal?
I don't see this kit on your website. Which is it?
I believe it might be the cx-30 kit it looks like matching components to my 2010 3 but I’m just looking at their pictures
Here it is : hrgoffroad.com/product/1-5-inch-38mm-lift-kit-for-2014-2018-mazda-3/
