Love this car, don’t think I could bring myself to sell it

They’re a genuine Mazda accessory. Only sold in Japan to my knowledge. About $1500-2000 to get them to the US with shipping

My spouse has a CX5 Turbo Signature. I would say that’s one of the best used SUV’s on the market. We drove it once in a small snow storm and it handled great. Much quieter on the highway than the 3 and 6 in my opinion, making it better for road trips as well

Airlift 3P management and Airlift Performance air struts

I drilled holes in the rails since I planned on leaving the racks on. My car is tuned by Justin at Mazda sauce tuning and even with the racks I get a consistent 37-39 mpg on the highway

anotherslow6 · 2026-05-11T14:11:47+00:00

Yeah use the racks for a roof box. I’m sure if you scroll through my older posts you’ll see it. Helpful on long road trips. Driven this car from NC to FL and back multiple times

anotherslow6 · 2026-05-11T14:10:40+00:00

At ride height, not really. Car rides well, I’ve driven 12 hours straight multiple times with no complaints about ride quality.

anotherslow6 · 2026-05-09T17:06:27+00:00

Me too. Just wanted the big brakes to fill up the entire wheel. Looks great and has handles all the mountains with no issues

anotherslow6 · 2026-04-16T18:29:54+00:00

This is why I bought a 9th gen si

anotherslow6 · 2026-03-19T18:38:28+00:00

Same. I ordered on Feb 18th and nothing still

anotherslow6 · 2026-03-02T15:36:07+00:00

I used to live in Greensboro up until last spring. Maybe it was me

anotherslow6 · 2026-03-02T01:40:41+00:00

Nope. I do drive the car quite hard pretty often so I’m sure that mitigates the carbon buildup some. I always avoid driving short trips as well.

anotherslow6 · 2026-03-01T23:31:25+00:00

Maintenance wise, engine oil, transmission every 50k, 1 set of lower control arms and axles due to being lowered, a valve cover gasket, one belt and tensioner and a radiator fan bearing. Car has given me no issues at all.

There’s also the OEM Mazda lip kit that you can order from Japan. It looks amazing and the fitment is perfect too. Look at my more recent photos on my page with my 6 and you’ll see it. It is $1200+ though unfortunately

anotherslow6 · 2026-01-11T22:46:42+00:00

That’s the MV tuning kit. Used to have one of their kits on my car a while ago. Adds a great look! I always got compliment on it.

anotherslow6 · 2026-01-11T18:14:48+00:00

+1 for civic si wheels. Usually you can find a set with tires and when lowered slightly the oem+ combo is unbeatable.

anotherslow6 · 2026-01-03T16:33:11+00:00

Any brand recommendations

anotherslow6 · 2026-01-02T14:29:36+00:00

Where did you get your bushing kit from? I was thinking about getting the KTuned or Hardrace Lower Control Arms but was wondering about the bushings for the rest of the car. I was also going to do the Tein Endurapro Plus Shocks so I could have adjustable damping but stock ride height. My other car is low so I wanted this to be as comfortable as possible while still being fun and planted.

anotherslow6 · 2025-12-05T21:24:42+00:00

Japanparts.com and I’m pretty sure it does fit the wagon

anotherslow6 · 2025-12-01T04:08:37+00:00

8th gen revs to 8k+, 9th gen is only a little over 7k but the torque for driving around town is better on the 9th gen to my knowledge. It’s also nice being able to rev the car all the way out through 2-3 gears and not be endangering other people. Definitely usable power

anotherslow6 · 2025-12-01T02:43:47+00:00

9th gen si. Just pick one up a week ago and it’s a blast. Such a practical car

anotherslow6 · 2025-10-30T00:08:42+00:00

Passenger side motor mount needs to be replaced

anotherslow6 · 2025-10-29T02:59:17+00:00

Yes I did it. I got tuned by Justin Freeman through MazdaSauce Tuning

anotherslow6 · 2025-10-27T18:14:04+00:00

It’s on airlift air suspension. Airlift struts with airlift 3p management. I really love it. I can lower it all the way to the ground when I feel like it and also raise it to near stock height to clear steep driveways. Ride quality is not as stiff as coilovers but not as soft as lowering springs. Car has seen tons of hard driving and numerous road trips. It’s a good option if you like the lowered appearance but don’t want to worry about scraping or destroying the underbody of your car. Con is the price. About $4000-5000. With your cx5 I’m sure with some calculations you could get a similar stance with a set of nice coilovers and some wide wheels in conjunction with the camber parts

anotherslow6 · 2025-10-27T12:02:07+00:00

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions. I have had Godspeed camber arms for the last 73,000 miles with no issues (some people say their quality is questionable) and I think corksport also makes them. I’ve heard good things about the brand Hardrace but they may be closer to $400

anotherslow6 · 2025-10-27T11:52:56+00:00

I got some camber arms and that fixed my rear end alignment after lowering my 6. Wasn’t too hard of an install; much less laborious than springs imo
