Canuck Motorsports Springs - Long term?

[The Wolf]

Hey, is there anyone out there that has been running these for a while? I read somewhere on another forum about the rears sagging over time (on other cars).
Anyone with experience with these springs, could you offer some insight?

They have a lifetime warranty I think and they are a pretty good company.

phillie86 is currently running on these and he loves them. although he has only been lowered for a few months there is no sign of sagging. the ride comfort is very nice actually.

I've heard nothing but good things.

I ran these on one of my old Acura EL's and they were great springs.. zero complaints and a great drop.

[philipfreire]

Yeah they are pretty good. I do feel the ride more but I also upgraded to 18" rims which also increases every bump you feel. To be honest its the best drop. It's between sportlines and prokits (I find prokits too high and sportlines destroys all ride comfort)

They offer a great drop and ride comfort. If you like to take a spin in my setup on stock shocks, shoot me a PM and we can meet up.


Plus, they are cheaper than prokits and quality is at par!

I have an '07 hatch, so I think my drop will be a little lower than yours, Phillie. I'm a little worried about winter though since I live out in the country and need to drive it daily.

I think I'll probably wait till spring :(

I have them on mine, also bought used from another owner in BC. I haven't noticed any sagging, just consistent lowness :)

I've been running Canucks with 18"s since March and I'm happy with them. You feel every bump in the road but is still a comfortable ride. I'm also worried come winter time with snow as i have practically no wheel gap in the front!

[Roconne]

Just saw a set of these on a 2010 Hatchback and I'm really interested now. With all these positive reviews, I think I'll get these over a pro-kit when it comes time for a drop.

I sold mine to DJchinaman2007 He loves them

As long as you don't run your 18's in the winter you'll be good! I use 15" snow tires on my stock rims with the drop, no problems usually with build-up in the wheel wells. Watch out for roads with high snow build-up in the middle of the lanes, or other places you might high-center though lol.

Does anyone know if these springs require a camber kit? Specifically for the 2010 version..

I was not planning on going thru winter with my 18"s on. I'll be swapping my 16" steelies for the winter.

I got a camber kit installed with my drop. My alignment was out of whack.

Yes if you want to be within factory specs. No if you don't mind feathering tires.

Mind hooking me up with those pics? I'd like to see what they look like too.

This is the 2010 I saw with the CM Springs.

Don't think this guy got a camber kit. Seems like he might need one too though.

[philipfreire]

that looks sexy ^^

[Takumi616]

I agree.............

Any comparisons to Roadmagnet 1.75s? Are these progressive rate too?

I am contemplating whether to go this, or RM. And where does one find camber kits? Any recommended dealers?

Check the classifieds section. I know there's at least a few up there right now. One seller who is willing to ship as well.

Many members from BC (bcmazda3.com) are currently on CMS. Before switching to Eibach Sportlines, I had the CMS for 3+ years and had no issues. Minor inner camber wear but it was minimal.

Hi i am from Vancouver BC, i have these springs on my Mazda 5. Yes on the 5 the rear is much lower than the front:) With the stock 17 inch tire in the rear, i barely can get 1 finger in there. Remember this the Mazda 5 has more weight. Hope this help a bit. I also think the rear is 1 inch lower than the front on my Mazda 5:)

Do people like the ass-dragging look in BC?

Ha ha ha you are so funny, are u that dumb:flaming. No one like that sh%t dragging on the ground ,that's why i had to put 1 inch rubber block to bring the back up a little. One last thing buddy, these springs are intend for Mazda 3 , but it does work on the 5.

[The Wolf]

thanks,



buddy

[philipfreire]

I haven't had it for long term.. But check out the Mazda3 BC forums

Ask them over there. They are a good spring. I'm quite happy to be honest.

[The Wolf]

I installed pro-kits about a month ago. Got them new, second hand, for $200 and I couldn't pass them up. More drop would always look nice, but I like not having to worry about the quality of the eibachs. It's also nice to not have to worry about speed bumps and camber wear.

[Impressive]

I will be purchasing these in April or May so I'm hoping I can get some insight as well. From what I've seen they sit really nice on Phillie's right, I'm just wondering how they'll look with the same drop on snowflakes?

If you wait I'll sell you mine come march/april. I'll be going coils. I forgot how many KM but it hasnt even been a year and car is stored during winter (since october). So it will be basically brand new, no rust.
