\"Increase<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Whether you want a lower center of gravity for better handling or you want to get rid of that ugly wheel well gap, lowering springs are a great buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From hitting the track on the weekend to a spirited drive through the countryside, CorkSport lowering springs<\/a> are the upgrade you\u2019ve been looking for. By adding our lowering springs, you\u2019re lowering the center of gravity. This allows the car to stay more planted to the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest things to note on the stock suspension is how far upward the suspension travels when hitting bump. It can make the car feel like it wants to lift off of the road, depending on how fast you\u2019re taking corners. Lowering springs help correct the car\u2019s suspension travel when you hit a bump in a turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lowering springs also have about 25% increased stiffness. For the Mazdaspeed platform<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding lowering springs also gives your baby amazing eye appeal and a much more aggressive look. Whether you drive a MS3<\/a>, MS6<\/a>, Mazda 3<\/a>, or MX-5<\/a>, lowering springs will get rid of that ugly wheel well gap. If your model wasn’t just mentioned, springs will still work for you too<\/a>! The result is a Mazda that carries a much cleaner look and gives you the ability to take it to the track if you want to.<\/p>\n\n\n

Some people want to drop their Mazda as much as possible, and some don\u2019t. CorkSport lowering springs<\/a> don\u2019t deliver a super aggressive drop. If you\u2019re 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\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
