    Default Best Springs for Lowering

    Hey Guys,

    I have a 2014 Mazda 3 GT Hatchback and wanted to purchase springs to lower my car. I was told my local shop can get Tein. Has anyone lowered their mazda 3 and if so, which springs? Also, anyone has pictures of their setup?

    Did you drop it on stock shocks? Did you just replace the springs on original shocks? or did you purchase new shocks and/or endlinks..etc

    In my case I installed the Eibach Pro-kits on oem shocks. My oem shocks and struts lasted to approx 240,000 kms before needing replacement. The Pro-kits are not a huge drop but good enough, and do actually make the car handle much better without causing a harsh ride in my experience.

    I went with the Corksport lowering springs...but actually found them on Kijiji for less than half the price.
    Of all the springs i looked at these dropped the most 2.25 inches front and 1.75 rear.

    I put Eibach pro kits on my car at about 20,000km and now my car has 308,000km no issues still have original struts on it but rear shocks have been replaced
