In this video I will be Installing the Eibach lowering spring on my 2022 2.5 Mazda 3! The install was honestly a roller coaster! The rear was pretty straight forward and not too difficult. The front, removing the struts was easy, removing the springs proved to be a challenge. Overall for someone that has never worked on suspension like myself. It is do able but I would recommend having a friend help! I tried my best to capture all the steps to installing the item. So be sure to watch till the very end to hear my initial first impressions of the product and how they preform on the vehicle!

I went for installing the CorkSport NotSoLow springs this weekend and just wanted to say thanks for this guide! I had the same struggles with the front strut's top nut. I was able to get it off (still super hard) using a bit of WD-40, go-thru socket set, allen key, and most importantly a wrench on the end of the allen key to get extra leverage

Hey man, you're hilarious. 😢 Thanks for mentioning CorkSport but a little disappointed it's not CS. Those brakes, huh!?!! 😄Car looks great though.

@StradysWorld Год назад

AYE!!! Appreciate the love! Don’t worry Corksport will be mentioned a lot more in the future! 😈

@camilleanddanarroyo6683 Год назад

Great video bro. I’m going to rent a pair of spring compressors for the fronts. I was debating on getting the Cork sport, but I think you just convinced me to get the Eibach.

@nintendad1166 Год назад

Got a M3 on order and will be lowering pronto. Thanks for the upload!

@StradysWorld Год назад

Congrats! It has definitely been one of the best cars I’ve ever owned.

@ryanjv Год назад

Get spring compressors for the future. It's tricky to get the nut off. You need to put a wrench on it then use vice grips to pinch the flat part of the threaded bit

@TheNathanVids Год назад

Looks gorgeous bro you gotta give a update in a while, I know these texas roads can pretty messed up sometimes that's what has been keeping me scared of getting some myself

@autofigure00 Год назад

MAN the back underside looks SO spacious to work in.

@davidsinde3820 Год назад

Knowing how compressed springs can be I had my dealer install my Eibach springs. I also had the corksport lowering springs prior to the Eibachs, but decided to do the switch after I got the OEM Aerokit installed. The kit makes the car stance look lower and since I park my car underground I needed to clear the up ramp when I drove out. It’s interesting a difference 1/2 inch makes.

@SharkForge29 Год назад

I've been considering getting that kit as well! Did you revert back to stock springs after getting the kit or did you settle on a less aggressive spring set? I'd love to hear what you did after getting the OEM aerokit installed!

@TheStranger52 Год назад

"the difference an inch makes" if I had a dollar 🤣 Great informative video, will be installing some on my car soon, just looks a little too high for me tbh Keep it up, subbed!

@TDJAnderson Год назад

There is absolutely no way! So ive owned a 2021 Cfrosstrek Sport for a year and a half now and i found you because of your videos on that car. THe wierd thing is is that i just test drove a Mazda 3 literally last week and i was really really considering it and then BOOM this video pops up on my home page. idk lol we must have a very similar taste in cars

@TDJAnderson Год назад

With that in mind, what do you think of the transition from your crosstrek to the mazda?

@StradysWorld Год назад

Haha great minds think alike! The transition great, this Mazda 3 is super luxurious compared the the very dated interior of the Crosstrek. It’s a great car and I’d recommend it to anyone. But I will say the Mazda community is very small compared to the vast Subaru community. Not as much aftermarket support but that would be my only down fall to this car. In conclusion one day I’ll probably return to Subaru!

Can you make a video about the Rattling sound in the dashboard?

@donavinphelps1875 8 месяцев назад

Did you get the torsion beam rear aligned using shims of was it in spec with the Eibach pro kit? :)

@plese051 Год назад

Are u still using original bump stops or u get new one with Eibach springs? Thanks

@MarkAtherton-bf4pq Месяц назад

Looks dope. but my 3 already feels pretty firm. I also fear sharp and deep drops. Are you scraping with the lowered profile?

@alexmatos2441 Год назад

Bro tell me more about the confort, I'm trying to get some eibach springs but friends are telling me that the car will loss all comfort on driving, so I'm confused on making it or not?? If you has to rate from 1 to 10 the conform in comparison with the factory one being 10 how much will you rate the eibach?

@Dro-Ordanzo 11 месяцев назад

Hey bro I plan on getting some springs. Are the eibach actually daily friendly? I live in Chicago the streets aren’t that smooth lol

@Debizzle 2 месяца назад

Could you put the rubber spring boot on first and then wedge the spring in?

@vctrflrs3687 5 месяцев назад

Can u resize the rubber in the front shocks or what? I lm putting aftermarket front shocks for lowering springs and from what I’m seeing they don’t come with rubber on the metal

@Parallel_Vizual Год назад

Late to the party, but i've been looking at these for mine and was wondering if you had to cut the bump stops with the Eibach springs?

@StradysWorld Год назад

Nope no cutting required

@fariek007 Год назад

looks good do you scrape with the oem wheels. I got 19 inch wheels 225/40/19 and i don't want to scrape or rub on the wheels. how is the drive with the eibach wheels .

@StradysWorld Год назад

Nah with this set up you’re good! Now that they are all settled the ride is pretty good, they are softer so you can definitely feel every bump but ride quality is good!

@Grundoko Год назад

Bro my stock Mazda3 already scrapes when I pull into my driveway, I ain't lowering it any further.

I don’t know if lowering Mazda would be such a good idea. I’m currently cx5 and suspension is stiff already. I can’t imagine lowering mazda3

@StradysWorld Год назад

Been almost a year with the springs and no complaints from me 🤷🏽‍♂️

@matsudakodo 9 месяцев назад

What year CX-5? I've had 2014, 2017, 2020, and 2023. In my experience they have continued to soften it up at every turn. I don't like it. There's too much body roll now. I plan on getting the CS springs which give it the perfect height and reduce the body roll.

@ryanc2927 Год назад

This is actually the worse thing you can do - your tires will wear 3x quicker and the handling effect can be done w a sway bar. I made a mistake by lowering by 2021 3 turbo now back w rear sway bar - 110% better

@sadface4606 Год назад

Lowering the car actually makes it have lower center of gravity and lessening body roll while creating a more planted ride, this allows the car to carry higher speeds through corners, everything you have mentioned technology wise is actually related to the cars abs and traction systems for the most part, what this means is the computer will react based on how the wheels are spinning and if it determines a loss of traction; so with less body roll, a firmer, and lower center of gravity, these systems kick in far less as the car isn’t losing traction as often even with the torsion beam rear allowing the driver to be more in tune with the car itself

@SpringMtnHiker Год назад

@@sadface4606Installing lowering springs without changing the shocks will cause the internal piston of the shock to bottom out, causing premature wear and possible damage. That's why it is not a good idea.

@mtjarecki Год назад

Yeah, not even mentioning about voiding manufacturers warranty, but You know that OM states that is't kinda big no-no to change anything with suspension as the car, don't You? Mazda is designed with plenty of suport systems like line departure assistant, braking support, G-vectoring and so on (plenty of those). The car will likely behave abnormally when doing such mods as it is also noted in instructions. Accepting that yourself is one story, but advising others and giving hints how to do it like You is another. Stay safe and enjoy the zoom zoom anyway!

@unknown9654 Год назад

One thing I’ve learned about this Mazda community is they’re 2 subgroups that make up the community. You have the normal car people that are super helpful and supportive and love modding their cars. Then you have the elitist like this that try and lecture you about everything. STFU

@jimmythebeast8279 Год назад

Who said that? I had my springs installed on my mazda dealership, it doesn't void any warranty. Infact these Eibach springs are better and more firm than the OEM ones. What does G-vectoring, braking support etc have to do with 1,2 inches lower on the car it self? Unless you mess around with the car brain chip, nothing you said makes any sense. It seems like you just said something to simply say it.
