Anyone go with springs from Mazda to lower their ride? I'd like to see how it looks.

 

[speed.2]

Yeah would be great if anyone could post pictures of their 2 with factory lowered suspension.

hrdm88 do you know what the factory drop is with the factory lowering kit?

 

[hrdm88]

Not sure which springs they're using...possibly Eibach? If that's the case, you'd be looking at front 1.2 & rear 1.2.

 

[hrdm88]

B&G should be the same drop.

H&R's look nice from what I've seen. You're looking at a 1.5 & 1.3 drop with those.

1.2 drop is too mild, not enough to loose the wheel gap.

If i had to i'd go for the H&R's gives it a staggered drop, giving more of stance look+ a lower drop = win!

what about you?

springs

you should go with the h&r. I have them on my 2 with 17" inch wheels and its a pretty good fit for the money. The best way to go would be with coilovers to get that extra 1/2" but its not really worth the extra $

 

[mazda_hatch]

Do you have any shot of your 2 with the H&R spings?

hows the wheel gap?

And any camber with the wheels with the mild drop?

 

[caloyski5]

here's a 2 dropped with HNR springs

wheels are 17s with 215/40/17 spec tires

Looks to be an aggressive set-up, hows does the HnR springs handle?

I would still compress the sprigs more to get a lower ride height!

havent test-driven it yet. it's a friend's car and according to him, ride became a bit choppy.

Does anyone have the spring rates on any of the aftermarket springs or coilover suspension systems?

have test driven it already. ride is quite choppy on uneven roads. im on maxspeed springs which costs roughly 40% cheaper than the HNR and they both ride almost the same. im happier with the maxspeed since they give a more even stance than the HNR where the rear is raised a bit than the front

have also test driven eibach springs. they are by far the best in terms of ride comfort but doesnt give the same drop as the maxspeed

anyone try the racingbeat springs? http://www.racingbeat.com/Mazda-2/Spring-Sets/77080.html

debating on those or the eibach prokits. Id like to go low but hate when the car gets really bouncy

Looks awesome, do you know what are the details on the wheels, like offset? Maybe brand?

Thanks

My car is running the mazda speed lowering springs. They are either Eibach or Racing Beat. The ride height in my option is perfect. They have harder spring rates not sure what the rates are but I auto-cross it and the car runs extremely flat with them. I went with these because I kept the factory warrenty and they were fairly well priced for that fact. Plus they are Mazda BLUE! They look pimp under the car (always a bonus)

How do I get more info on these springs? Mazdaspeed doesnt show any parts for the 2 on their site, at least none that i saw.

When you say it runs extremely flat, do you mean no body roll? Curious about this cause I hate body roll and it would suck upgrading to these springs and still having a noticeable amount of body roll.

Hello, My daughter bought her 2014 Mazda 2 three years ago. She has some clunking in the rear, and it turns out she has 2 broken Coil Springs! She certainly does not drive it hard. Does this car have a problem with rear coil springs?
