Welcome to the Gen3 Mazda 3 Suspension Package

Mazda 3

Want to upgrade your suspension system on your Gen3 Mazda3, but don’t want to deal with the headaches that come with lowering springs or coilovers?

Introducing the CorkSport Adjustable Shock/Strut Assembled Package for 2014+ Mazda 3. This truly is a complete package that includes CorkSport lowering springs, CorkSport adjustable shocks/struts, and CorkSport camber plates all assembled and ready to install.

 

 

We’ve discussed before how the CorkSport adjustable shocks and struts are a great compliment to the CorkSport lowering springs. Now we have included them together in a package with our camber plates to give a huge handling and adjustability upgrade to any Gen3.

In addition, this package comes assembled with new OE dust boots, pivot bearings, and bump stops that are even cut to proper length to match the lower ride height. Since this package comes assembled with new parts, installing it is a snap. No spring compressors needed at any point. Check out the image below to see exactly what you get in every box.

 

 

Whether you are looking to replace some worn out OE components and get a style bonus, or are looking for some and handling and adjustability for your racecar, the CorkSport Adjustable Shock/Strut Assembled Package can help you reach your goal.

Why Lowering Springs?

Whether you want the better handling that comes with the lowered center of gravity, or you want to rid yourself of the wheel gap eyesore.  Lowering springs will give you want you’re looking for.

For running the track, or a spirited drive through the countryside, CorkSport lowering springs are the upgrade you’ve been looking for. By adding lowering springs and lowering the center of gravity of your Mazda allows the car to stay more planted to the road.

One of the biggest things to note on stock suspension is how far upward the suspension travels when hitting a bump. It can make the car feel like it wants to lift off of the road; depending on how fast you’re taking corners. Lowering springs help to correct the car’s suspension travel when you hit a bump in a turn.

Lowering springs also have about 25% increased stiffness. For the Mazdaspeed platform, increased stiffness in the rear is a must. Mazdaspeeds like to squat pretty hard when hitting full boost, so any way you can manage to stiffen up the rear is a great modification for your car.

Adding lowering springs also gives your baby amazing eye appeal and a much more aggressive look. Whether you drive a Mazdaspeed3Mazdaspeed6Mazda 3, Mazda 6, CX-5, CX-3 or MX-5, lowering springs will get rid of that ugly wheel well gap. The result is a Mazda that carries a much cleaner and more aggressive look and gives you the ability to take it to the track if you want to.

Drop your Mazda for an aggressive look and better handling with the CorkSport lowering springs.

Some people want to drop their Mazda as much as possible, and some don’t. CorkSport lowering springs don’t deliver a super aggressive drop. If you’re not interested in scraping your front bumper on every road bump, the CorkSport lowering springs have the right drop for you, and provide the increased handling capabilities you’re looking for.

My CorkSport Mods: Andrew’s Mazda 3 i Touring

Back in March 2015, I bought my Mazda3 i Touring brand-new from the dealership with intentions of keeping it stock. Clearly, that didn’t last long. The challenge was how to make an already fun car more fun. That’s when I turned to CorkSport.

Having purchased my third Mazda, and having numerous friends who shop through the company, it was a no-brainer to start here first. The first week having the car, I purchased the license plate relocation kit because, let’s face it, the factory mount looks atrocious smack-dab in the middle of the grille.
