Back & Better Than Ever – The Mazdaspeed 6 Lowering Springs

CorkSport is proud to announce the Mazdaspeed 6 Lowering Springs are back and better than ever! We made some slight revisions to promote a more consistent ride and handling but kept the ride height drop about the same as our previous springs. If you’re looking to get rid of your 4×4 fitment and add some much-needed cornering ability to your MS6, read on for more details and check out our product listing HERE to purchase!

Focus On Design

We started off by focusing on the most important aspect of a set of lowering springs: handling. The CS springs lower your Speed’s center of gravity for less body roll and increased driver confidence. Stiffer than OEM spring rates further decrease body roll and provide a sportier ride for more feedback when on your favorite backroad. Final spring rates are approximately 5.1K front and 4.1K rear. Compared to OEM, this is a larger change in the rear than the front to promote more neutral handling and less understeer.

Springs That Work

Don’t worry though, spring rates were kept mild to keep the MS6 comfortable on the daily commute. It is a sportier feeling ride, but not too drastic of a change to ensure the CS springs still work well with OEM shocks & struts. Aftermarket units work even better as they have stiffer damping to match the stiffer springs. They are not required, however, we do recommend new OEM shocks and struts or aftermarket replacements if you’re still on the original (15+ year old) dampers.

The Right Height

Now let’s get to what most of you are looking for: ride height. The CorkSport Mazdaspeed 6 lowering springs are approximately 1.6” lower in the front and 1.25” lower in the rear than OEM. This height gives reduced wheel gap that is even front and rear without being too low and having to worry about scraping on every driveway and speedbump. This is right about the same as our old lowering springs with just a touch more rake for less squat when the car is loaded up with people or tools.

Finally, the new CS springs are finished in a new color! Blue powder-coated finish ensures a great look and long lasting corrosion resistance.

The New Turbo Inlet Pipe – Mazda SkyActiv-G 2.5L

The Design Logic

If you are a car enthusiast, own a new Mazda utilizing the awesome SkyActiv-G Turbo Engine, and have been searching the internet for performance parts then you probably know that CorkSport has been deep in development for this new Mazda platform. Specifically, CorkSport has been working on the last piece of the intake system puzzle, the Turbo Inlet Pipe.

This is the black plastic “tube/pipe” that connects the Short Ram Intake System to the turbocharger inlet. While the SRI System adds some great turbo noises and power gains to the Sky-Activ Turbo, there is still more opportunity for additional performance and sound improvements. This is where the new CorkSport Turbo Inlet Pipe steps in.
