I have a 2014 Mazda 3 i touring that I use as my daily driver, long commutes on some really garbage highways and I also have to commute through the mountains, so lots of sharp turns and twists. I installed koni shocks/struts with 1” lowering springs that I may consider changing if someone has...

I just installed Koni special active red shocks and struts and 1” front and rear lowering springs. Install went fine and I haven’t felt or noticed any bad handling or performance issues but it almost seems as if one side is sagging a little lower. Not just one corner but one side entirely, any...

Does anybody know where I can find torque specs for the shocks/struts on a 2014 Mazda 3 i touring? I’ve looked through the owners manual and couldn’t find anything. I’m changing out front and rear shocks/struts and springs and want to make sure I torque everything down correctly. Or if anybody...

Hello Im looking for some insite on improving the suspension and handling on my 2022 mazda3 hatch. I understand it has a rear torsion beam suspension, and i dont know much about those. Can i still put on coilovers and imrpove the handleing and feel or does the torsion beam limit me. Looking...

We have a 2008 MS3 that we bought in Aug 2020. We bought the car already modded (used quality products to do the mod) with 120K and now has 144k. It is a solid fun car. In Sept, we replaced the 2 front tires. 2 weeks ago, we got a flat on one of the Sept tires, so we got it replaced (it...

Getting a squeaking sound from the front and rear suspension when going over speed bumps. Not sure if it's the springs or sway bar bushings (polyurethane upgrades for JBR FSB and Progress RSB). Any tips to start isolating the noise to figure out the cause and methods to get rid of it? Thought...

I just bought a mazda3 and I noticed that the read suspension components have surface rust. I live in the UK so the car has been exposed to some harsh winters and salt, but I wanted to check if this is a normal amount of rust for the age and if I should worry about it. This are the worst parts...

Wassup guys, so yesterday I installed some Megan Racing Camber arms on my 2007 mazda 3 sedan & the process was brutal (for the passenger rear at least lmao.) After I finished I took it for a spin and everything seemed good until later that night. Cruising speeds, the car sounds fine but when...

Hi all, I've learned that the rough ride of the Mazda3 is due to stiffer "sporty" suspension and that it's the price to pay for great handling. While I don't want to lose the feeling of being able to confidently make it around sharp turns without sliding, I'm also considering whether I should...

I recently replaced shocks/struts (front and back) on my 2011 Mz2 2.5GT (152k mileage). I chose not to replace the stock springs. Rear has a new Racing Beat sway bar and new end links... and the front has new end links. Everything has been checked over multiple times for tightness but I'm still...

Hi, I’ve recently put some 18x8 +45 on my 2012 sedan, and am about to order the eibach pro kit springs. I’m wondering if I will need to roll my fenders or replace camber arms to avoid rubbing? Or will they rub at all? Please let me know!

I bought my 2018 Mazda 3 Sport new to replace my 1996 Honda Civic coupe base model. I was the 1st & only owner of that Civic. I did replace the original Civic springs with lowered ones & kept driving with them for about 2 years before I put the original Civic springs back on. From then on, I...

I have a set of brand new, unopened H&R lowering springs I'm looking to part with. Never got around to installing them before I sold my car and have no use for them. Looking for $175 OBO, local pickup preferred and cash only. Thanks!

Afternoon guys n gals, Im rocking a 2.0 3 from 07, faceliiiiift 🤙. I was driving over to the local halfords to get some paint for the interior and noticed a knocking sound front right. Upon getting home i opened the bonnet and noticed one of my top strut mounts has completely sheared, must be...

Hey folks! My name is Andrew. I am new to the Mazda3 scene since I just purchased my car a few days ago (2014 white S GT 5-door). I am wanting to do suspension, exhaust and brakes. This car came from the north and I need to replace some of the rusty parts and I would like to kill 2 birds with...

Hi All, I’m looking to install my front sway bar as a part of the eibach kit I got last year. I guess i’m bored and just want something to tinker with on the weekends, but has anyone done a replacement on the front sway bars? How hard was it to drop the front sub frame and replace the bar? I...

Backstory- Just before Christmas, I replaced the shocks/struts on my 2011 Mazda 3 GT. (145k miles). Went with some Konis (orange). I did get new endlinks and stabilizer bushings but have not installed them yet, due to the messy winter weather. I'm planning on doing then in the spring. After the...

Does anyone on here have a first gen lowered on 1.8" springs? I bought some Eibach springs and would like to see how it looks on other setups. Also how does it ride?

2016 m3 2.0L 6spd. CS catback(I know I know), CS front strut bar, custom fitted spectre SRI and some flaps. Installed 2 weeks after signing my lease (the dealership hated me). Looking for a tune, not sure if I should wait for the CS turbo kit to come out I’ve read that it’s going to come with a...
