This is perfect timing! I've been putting off installing mine because I wasn't positive I could do it properly! Will follow this and finally go low!

[@ColtonRichter]

Good luck!

[@joelchapple1]

Sick camera work
My soul died a little when you installed the new springs on the blown shocks lol

[@ColtonRichter]

Didn't know, now we know haha

[@DrivingProduction]

Great tutorial! I thought you had bought a 2nd gen Skyactiv from the thumbnail, got excited for a new build haha Keep up the great videos!

[@ColtonRichter]

Haha, not mine but a very inspired Gen 2 from your videos!

[@pissgoat]

i'm about to install the same springs on my 09 hatch, can't wait to see your results

[@pasdenom01]

great video! for the rear link kit i just unbolt the swaybay is much more easy and faster

[@jerrygobbee6803]

Great content, love the steel to running shoes

[@chriscole9621]

Fyi this is the same for the mazda 5. Just got a 5 speed one and im probably gonna go with the meganracing ones for a 1.75 inch drop
Also on the mazda 5 the spring rates in the rear are higher in the 5 so make sure if anyones buying springs for a 5 you get springs made for the 5

Yesss a step by step tutorial! Thanks Colton 💪 you save me a penny from the mechanic shop.
Wait does this also apply to gen 1 Mazda 3?

[@osdhockey2388]

yes he said in the video

[@ColtonRichter]

Exactly the same for 1st Gen and Speeds.

[@_dondie_]

Aightt I'm just making sure haha coz we got 1.6 and none 2.3

[@FlipBoji]

Not sure why when I put my into “check fitment for vehicle” it says they don’t fit my exact model, which is scaring me from buying some coilovers. Any help would be greatly appreciated

[@Delta_P_]

Another good video.
Those H&R springs are a pretty good low. It's a shame there aren't any more aggressive drops with springs lower than 2 inches, you gotta get coilovers for that, it seems.
I was planning to do this but with Tein springs, its nice to see it's not that hard.
I see your dad has a Short Ram intake, he's gettin mad power with that on!

[@ColtonRichter]

I believe if anything went lower it would probably ride like ass, I think springs are good to retain comfort

[@rcisracecarsinsheds3342]

Colton, it looks like you've installed the MPS kit, reason i'm saying this is there is a white dot next to the part number on the front spring which means it's stiffer, rear spring has a yellow dot which means it's lower, this will be why it's sitting higher in the front. (Ex H&R distributor from New Zealand).

[@ColtonRichter]

Appreciate the insight, I double checked part numbers and everything and the box is labeled for this specific car, Speed has a different part number.

[@rcisracecarsinsheds3342]

@@ColtonRichter I reckon it's possibly a mixup as to what springs are in the box, comes down to the white dot next to the part number, non turbo doesn't have that in our listing over here MPS does due to heavier front axle weight, be worth asking the H&R guys over there, that aside, great video's :)

[@tannerhederson4067]

My front still sits higher then the back did u trim ur bump stops ?

[@ZoomingWrenches]

lol those sway bar links had to get hacksawed off on both sides for me because of the sheer rust

[@ColtonRichter]

😭😭😭

[@OGrendi]

what is the name of these lowering springs ?
also do you recommend lowering springs or coil-overs for daily driving ? i drive specifically a 2007 Mazda Axela Hatchback. (1st Gen)

[@ColtonRichter]

Tame, daily driving lowering springs are a great option. These are H&R's

[@khaidang27]

I want to install coilover for my 06 mazda 3. Do you recommend to install coilover or just lower ring?

[@ColtonRichter]

That's up to you and what you want them for

[@kayemigz6121]

Nice video. Did you end up changing out the front shocks and end links? They looked pretty bad

[@ColtonRichter]

Front shocks were completely blown and end links are ready for replacement.

[@idomazdas]

When should you use adjustable end links??

[@ColtonRichter]

Usually when you go lower

[@revostac4179]

Does 2 gen lowering spring fit on 1gen ?

[@ColtonRichter]

Yes but spring rates will most likely be different

[@noobERNS_it]

9:20 shocks very blown
Maybe order some new shocks 😂

[@ColtonRichter]

We installed Bilsteins!
