CorkSport is proud to announce the new and improved Version 2.0 Lowering Springs for the 2007 \u2013 2013 Mazdaspeed 3<\/a>.  While the changes are subtle, it never hurts to go back and refine a product that is so well loved by the community<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When designing performance lowering springs<\/a> we want to find the right balance in performance, comfort, and style.\u00a0 When done right, performance springs can make a huge improvement in the vehicle\u2019s overall driving experience.\u00a0 That is our goal at CorkSport HQ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CorkSport's<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The CorkSport V2.0 springs are very similar to the V1.0 with a ride height drop of approximately 1.1\u201d front and 1.2\u201d rear.  This is a fairly aggressive drop, but does cooperate with the stock struts after a bit of bump stop trimming.  That is all clearly laid out step-by-step in the included installation instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now ride height isn\u2019t everything.\u00a0 While it looks great, it also needs to perform great.\u00a0 The CorkSport Suspension Springs<\/a> have specific spring rates so that they perform and feel great for the spirited and daily driven Mazdaspeed 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Designed<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Up front the spring rate is a linear 3.5K and the rear is a linear 4.5K.   We specifically design the springs with a higher rear spring rate to help the vehicle understeer vs oversteer characteristics and maintain a proper suspension frequency so your Speed feel solid and planted through the curves and over road imperfections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"2007-2009<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the car is going to feel more lively and connected to the road, giving you more feedback and control to enjoy your Mazdaspeed 3<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You probably also notice a new color!  Yes, our new V2.0 are now blue via a durable and corrosion resistant powder coat finish.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
