Last month I decided to lower my 2018 CX5 Grand Touring but I wasn't sure what fitment I wanted to go with. After watching this video, I bought the same Corksport springs, 245/45R20 Pirelli tires, with the 20" black rims I had on my old Mitsubishi Outlander and it looks so good! Plenty of clearance, no rubbing, the alignment is good and showed the camber is barely off, and I was told it should have no impact on the tire wear. Thank you so much for all the information! Everything else is stock on the car. It drives really nice, corners great like it's on rails, no more roll, ride is great on smooth streets, but can be jarring at times because many of these San Diego roads in my area are pitiful. I never noticed how bumpy the streets are in my area until now. Is there something I can do to help with this ride on these bumpy roads?
Thank you for this video and your last on putting on corksport lowering springs, it was kind of hard getting some insight into them but I definitely will get them now along with some bilstein for the durability
@@garagepursuits8158 oh yeah definitely ima have a professional handle it cause I'm not trying to hurt myself or take my car out the game lol but would these pair well with the bilstein b6 struts and shocks or would I have to aim for a different set?
When dropping it, did you replace any other parts like the end links or anything to it, asking because I just dropped my 2020 mazda cx5 and wanted to see if replacing the end links necessary
So with these lowering springs, does it help with that god awful wobble on the cx5? I had a rental and was impressed but the wobble over bumps scares the crap outta me and doesn't feel stable.
Hey I was wondering did you have to get a camber kit with the lowering of your cx5 or did you adjust the toe and is it still holding up well? Because I have the springs now but as far as the bilstein suspension the b6 doesn't seem like it'll match the springs like stock ones would
Hi, i didnt get the camber kit, my rear camber is out of spec by 1.0 evenly across the rear. My tires seem to be wearing evenly though. What do you mean doesn't match? Physically? Or dampening will be too strong?
@@garagepursuits8158 like I've been watching videos on the bilstein b6s and the common theme on them has been that they'll raise the ride's height, so pretty much just counterproductive to what the lowering springs are intending to do, im still trying to research further before I make a decision to get them or not tho, I wish the b8s were available for our kind of vehicle tho because those are geared towards lowering
wow corksport really found the perfect height. Even with this drop it has the ground clearance of a nissan altima and vw passat, still usable. might have to get these and a set of enkei xm-6 in the same size as your wheels for my carbon. Are you on stock shocks? Billsteins?
Enkei is a great wheel company ! I'm im using the stock shocks right now. I would recommend someone use aftermarket though for durability. Koni, bilstein, kyb
I am looking for a new set of wheels for my cx-5 probably 20, could you share the spects on this wheels ? so I know is 20 x 114.3 but what's the hub bore size or what else do I have to look for? I go to eBay and all the wheel that I like don't fit. any recommendations on stores that sale aftermarket wheels , please and thank you. unless you are ready to Sale yours.
WORK EMOTION M8R WHEEL (1pcs) 20 inch 8.5J 38 5H 114.3 Grants Silver (GZS) i dont know the hub size, seller on ebay is (apoyar) shipping from japan is like 500, i would sell mine for about 2300 with tires
Im not sure, you have to buy from a distributor. I dont know what country you are in. If usa, you can try evasive motorsports, ebay, fitment industries vivid racing.. I bought them from a seller in japan, so i have a color not sold for usa....
Hello, your setup is awesome! is there any rubbing issues if turning full and if there's passengers in the back? And you think 35 offset will be fine? really appreciate your videos
Most of the body roll was eliminated, ride feels about 25% more firm. I like the feeling. The roads are not that bad where I'm at. If you have terrible roads it might not feel great.
hey forgot to ask when u swap the springs did it affect the lane assist or anything ?? just had a shop tell it would i felt like he was bull shitting me
@@DouglasMcquaid187 no, just the camber i think will be out of spec. My car drives the same. All functions work. They have to tell you stuff like that because changing things on cars is a liability if you are going aftermarket
@@prixinc1 Not that I know of, I seen they do so much more in Japan with it but it’s most likely done at a shop. They have a much bigger CX-5 fan base over there…
@@arnaldoluna718 I just checked, it's due to the catalytic converter being welded on the mid pipe there is no catback for the CX-5. Axelback it is. I will probably go with the Racing Beat axelback.
The Mazda CX-5 is such a great looking car. I can’t believe it’s so overlooked.
You are right, very cool and reliable vehicle. Please subscribe if you haven't 👍
@@garagepursuits8158 I know this is old but how the driving experience? I have a 2020 I want to lower. Too stiff, rubbing, etc?
True!
That looks fantastic

@@garagepursuits8158 I was meaning to ask as well is the ride quality still holding up well?
Did the CS lowering springs require a camber kit afterwards?
Is the alignment able to be adjusted within spec with the CS springs installed?
Good thing I drive a cx5
Subscribed. Beautiful cx-5!
I wish someone like corksport would offer a quality rear spoiler for the cx5 22 and up.
The mikstore has them bought one for my 2023 carbon edition cx5
Looks great. Did you end up getting any sort of camber arms/links for the rear or no? If no how’s the tire wear and driving experience?
Looks great man
How much is it lowered?
How’s the ride?
Any issues scraping the front or back undercarriage when parking where they have those cement slabs?
When dropping it, did you replace any other parts like the end links or anything to it, asking because I just dropped my 2020 mazda cx5 and wanted to see if replacing the end links necessary
So with these lowering springs, does it help with that god awful wobble on the cx5? I had a rental and was impressed but the wobble over bumps scares the crap outta me and doesn't feel stable.
Please review how to change coolant Mazda CX-5
I saw you put wheels as 20x8.5 but what it the offset? Sits perfect with the fender for a flush look
+38
So nice man 🤙🏽🤙🏽 ill do this on myazda bfor summer 🤙🏽❤️🤙🏽❤️
Aww cool 😎 it's a very easy car to lower. I have another video with the spring install. Thanks for subscribing and the kind words.
Is tha HR spring okay ? I couldn’t find a corksport .. im trying to buy one now
@@shotsbyzach975 you may have to go directly to corksport website. HR is a good brand, I don't know how much it will lower it though.

Be nice on air bag suspension
Any front or rear tire rubbing after its lowered? How are speed bumps?
No rubbing at all. This setup is not too aggressive. You have to slow down for speed bumps. Original suspension is much more cushioned.
Hey sir, do u know where i can get the exact wheels of your car. Please let me know thank u

Excellent video thank you. It really helps.
Very good looking!!
Where are the old springs? You selling them? Are you here in canada, British Columbia, lower Mainland?
Im in the usa, i can't sell them because i need to put it back to stock one day 😅
@@garagepursuits8158 ahh I see.
How much drop from stock?
At least 2 inches
@@garagepursuits8158 can you send me a link to what you use?
What colour are the wheels? Granz silver?
Yes, this is the grants silver color. Thanks for checking this out 👍
hello there,looks great how is the handling compared to stock?not to firm?
Most of the body roll was eliminated, ride feels about 25% more firm. I like the feeling. The roads are not that bad where I'm at. If you have terrible roads it might not feel great.
Very nice!! Are you planning to do any engine mods ??
no i wont
this is just the spring? not coilover?
this is just a simple spring swap. i don't have coilovers
Wow nice height
NICE
can i still use the factory rims after doing this?
Yeah, no problem. If you go to the corksport website you can see the cx5 lowered on factory 19inch wheels. Thanks for watching👍
Tire specs?
245/45r20
Your CX5 looks great! Do you think that 245/50/20s tires can fit on that lowered set up?
yes it will fit, but you will change the speedometer reading slightly !!!
how does it drive is it a bit stiff or still a smooth ride
Its a little stiff, i dont recommend if you live in a pkace with terrible roads. On smooth roads it feels great
sweet thanks just got my 2022 cx5 sunday and love it im happy i came across your video no one seems to make cx5 mod videos
hey forgot to ask when u swap the springs did it affect the lane assist or anything ?? just had a shop tell it would i felt like he was bull shitting me
@@DouglasMcquaid187 no, just the camber i think will be out of spec. My car drives the same. All functions work. They have to tell you stuff like that because changing things on cars is a liability if you are going aftermarket
How much did u lower it from stock ??
Over 2 inches, maybe more. Stock height is pretty tall on these cars
Time to upgrade that exhaust, ‘21 Carbon Edition Turbo here 🙋🏽♂️
Hahah, thanks for watching, I considered an exhaust before, but I'm not sure. Are you lowering your car?
@@garagepursuits8158 Yes, wish I could bring it to you. You work well, running a Borla S-Type exhaust gives it a little more character…
Is there a catback exhaust available for the cx-5? All I have seen are axelbacks.

What’s the offset on the wheels? Any issues with rubbing?
+38, they do not rub at all. 👍
How nice video!Do you interested in product review? How can I contact with you?
I’m sure it’s too stiff and the driving is too bumpy. I’ve done that before. It’s no worth it.
Just need new wheels and 315 wide tires lol
And a wide body 😂 that would be crazy 🤔
@@garagepursuits8158 never too late to try it out!!!
@@tacticalpause3767 i will leave that to you. 😂
