Default H&R Lowering Springs for my 2016 CX-5...

Good day,

Does anyone have any reviews on the H&R Lowering Springs for the Mazda CX-5?
Looking to purchase them for my CX-5 and wanted to get an idea if there are pros and cons...

Thanks,
onebklyn

Hi,

I have no feedback on the springs but just interested in knowing why you'd like to lower the vehicle?

Hey Brissy,
To answer your question... I just want a more sportier look! I don't like how my CX-5 sits up so high in the back.

Thanks for the reply.

Take care, onebklyn

Pro's:
Lowers the vehicles to give it a better stance. This purely subjective to each individual's perspective.
Improves slightly on supporting the other suspension components for stability in corners.
"MAY" reduce braking distance.

CONS:
The ride comfort will be reduced.
"MAY" change the steering geometry which cannot be corrected with simple alignment
"MAY" cause poor handling characteristic in hard aggressive cornering because they are a progressive spring.
"MAY" effect the auto manufactures warranty coverage if you have suspension issues.
"MAY" need a full 4-wheel alignment after installation
"MAY" need to have headlights readjusted
"MAY" have reduced ground clearance that makes it less desirable for traveling on some roads
"MAY" reduce the total safe maximum load capacity because of reduced ride height
"MAY" increase road noise because of a higher spring rate

I went hiking again yesterday, I don't understand why it's so dirty again? It's almost like its a mud magnet.
