These made my car look AND feel amazing! They're still settling in, but I can get maybe a finger and a half in the rear wheel well as opposed to my whole fist. The road feel was enough to make me comfortable at high speeds again. I'd like to say it also reduced body roll by a pretty large margin, I would never take curves over 80 on stock suspension, but it held tight at 120. Thank you guys, I'll be back for more!

Wonderful springs, comfortable yet firm, low but usable. Glad I invested the money

I really love the lowering range these springs gives to my 2012 Mazda3 2.5 sedan. My front and rears are equally lowered. If I drive through a bump, or hole too fast my shocks will bottom out. Lastly, I hear clunking noises on the front when I turn my wheel even sitting still. My mechanic wants to charge me to install some rubber silencers to place on top and bottom of the front springs.
***CorkSport Reply: Joel give us a call, the sound is not normal and should be pretty easy to fix without the rubber silencers.

I've had my lowering springs on my 2013 mazda 3 for about a year now. In the beginning they were great, rode smooth, a nice functional drop. Only issue I'm having now is they're all making noises. Had my car up on a lift and the rear passenger spring is 'loose' feeling, can squeeze it easily. Not too sure what could be wrong, any ideas??

Great springs. Comfortable and big upgrades in the handling and ride department. Only downside is a creaking and buckling sound when I turn the steering wheel all the way left or right
**CorkSport Reply: Make sure the spring is seated against the lock on the strut or you will get the noises. ***

I have a 2010 Mazda 3 sport GS 2.5l, and Iam running a 17x8.5 rim with 45 offset and a 255 40r17 Good Year Eagle Sport tire. I had to roll the fenders in the back and the tire easily tucks under heavy load so I have no issues with the back. My question is for the front, my tire is almost to the outside edge of the fender but since there is not much suspension travel/ room into the wheel well on the front right now it's fine. will this spring cut down on suspension travel? and do the front tires on other cars with this spring tend to tuck in past the top the fender opening? Also I noticed the mazdaspeed lowering springs don't lower as much, would that spring work on a Mazda 3?

I have a 2011 Mazda 3 with 18x8 wheels with a 40mm offset and 215/40/18 tires. Will these fit on my car?

Great ride height and good handling but after installing I started hearing a rumbling noise when I would accelerate with low rpm and found out that it's coming from my axels...

These springs are great and easy to install. It took about 2 hours and the car was back on the ground and ready to go. When I read how much these springs dropped the car I was excited, but I was totally blown away when the car was put back on the ground. The springs completely closed the wheel cap to credit card fitment in the front, and I'm not running a crazy big wheel in the front. (18 x 9 with a 235/45 18) wasn't expecting that much of a drop. The rears on the other hand were disappointing after seeing how much they dropped the front. There is still a two finger gap in the rear. Wish corksport had the option to upload pictures, because I'd have some up for you guys.

Will these springs lower my 2007 Mazda 3 to much where I cant get over speed bumps or scrape everywhere?
I know rear camber can't be adjusted on our cars. After these springs lower the car, will rear adjustable camber arms be necessary or will camber stay within spec?
Also, what other parts do you recommend with lowering the car? Already going with Koni Orange and CS adjustable front end links.
Asked by Mark | 05/03/2020, 11:26 AM | 1 answer(s)
Only if you care about keeping the camber within factory spec. You can get toe back to spec without worrying about it. Toe is the main source of tire wear.
Purchased these springs along with new struts and mounts from a parts store. when installing the front springs, there was no need to compress the lowering spring to fit on the new struts. Went ahead and finished the install and all seems good but when the car is lifted off the ground, you can move the spring. please verify if this is normal!
Yes this is normal with some lowering springs.
You just want to make sure the spring is in the right location prior to dropping the car. It usually won't move though.
When I purchase this do I have to get a quantity of 2 or does 1 contain all 4 springs for the entire car? And it'll fit my 2013 mazda3 sedan right?
p.s. I just ordered the cat-back exhaust system and...
:DD couldn't be more excited. Waiting for it to arrive in the mail!
could someone help me ?
it is saying about 2.25" front, and 1.75" rear ? conversion to metric is 57mm front and 44,5mm rear right ?
I have install in 2009 (now time to change) kit blistein B4 and lower spring -30mm. it is already low with B4, but Corksport's spring is 57/44,5 ?
It is right conversion, please confirm me that.
thnak you

I have a 2012 Mazda 3 skyactive. I was wondering will these springs work okay with having a 225/45R18 set up with a 38mm offset. Will I need to roll the fenders, or will it cause issues to the tires from going over bumps?
Asked by Eric | 10/19/2016, 09:16 AM | 1 answer(s)
You should be okay running a wheel of that size with that high of an offset.
Hi,
I got a Mazda 3 2011 hatch and was planning to buy some springs. But after asking 2 or 3 question. I heard that the back look to much higher compare to the front. I that real? Is there anything i can do to get them at the same level?
I've got a 2006 3 but I have rx8 wheels and ½inch spacers so my tires stick out, will these still work with my car? Or will I have to roll my fenders?
I'm looking into purchasing 17x7.5 with a 35 offset for my 2012 3 hatchback with about 33,000 miles. Will I need to roll any fenders? And should I look into purchasing new shocks/structs? They are currently stock.
Asked by Christina R. | 10/22/2015, 01:47 PM | 1 answer(s)
That wheel setup should be fine with the correct tire size. As of this answer we have both the shocks and springs in stock.
It depends on the milage you have on your Mazda 3. If you are under 30k you are most likely ok. If you are over 30k installing new struts at the same time as the springs would be a good idea.
Do you need to install a camber kit with the lowering springs? It won't effect the tires if i don't install the kit right?
Asked by Alex | 08/10/2015, 09:40 AM | 1 answer(s)
You will need to align the car to correct the toe on the suspension. You do not need the camber arms but they are a good idea for making the rear camber even between both sides of your Mazda 3.
Great drop height but a small issue is that it's making a lot more noise then usual
Asked by Samuel He | 06/24/2015, 03:31 PM | 1 answer(s)
Make sure the rear springs are locked into place against the lower control arm. If they are not spun against it you can get noise from the suspension over bumps.
These springs just replace the old factory springs right? Or do I need to by any other additional items to lower my 2012 Mazda 3?
Asked by Kyle Day | 06/24/2015, 03:30 PM | 1 answer(s)
I would look at getting rear camber arms to install at the same time. The factory settings are pretty liberal in range and having the car set the same helps with tire wear.
Do you suggest getting sway bars to install after putting these in
Asked by Kyle | 06/24/2015, 03:29 PM | 1 answer(s)
Swaybars do a good job of limiting body roll so they would work well with or without lowering springs. To get the most out of the springs they would help.
