If go lower than 1.5 inches get lowing shocks, or just go with coilovers.
Yo, Coming in a bit late on this video, but great work!
Question:
1: I live in NOLA and these roads are fucking 3rd world- totally shitty! Needless to say, my M3 has taken a fucken beating and I need new struts… fuck! so I’m wondering what you guys suggest given the landscape I live in? To be more specific, I looking for some heavy duty, tank-grade, fuck-off shitty roads struts.
Your never low enough until you are scraping the ground. That’s just my theory though.
Digging that lip how do I make one
Lol these 2 are full of confidence, atta boys! Got that shit handled! Im going to do mine in the next couple weeks here.
haha my friend has a sticker on his car that says “wheel gap is like a vagina, the more fingers you can fit in the worse it is”
I was wondering if you are able to put back the original suspension even if you have cut your bump stop ? sick ride btw
Do I have to align the car ? When I lowered
true
vagina power ahh thats messed up lol
how many inches should it be dropped if my 3 has the kenstyle body kit????
In some parts of the world, people lower their vehicles, but around here, people raise their vehicles. The streets have too many bumps and holes, and in the winter, there is snow. That makes lowered vehicles very impractical, would bottom out a lot.
cool man. thanks for telling us aboutt renting the compressors from autozone for free. i was wandering how much i would have to spend to do tht. how much money did u have to lend them tho?
I tried doing this today.. It was going great until I had to put the strut completely back in the boot. Nothing short of putting the wheel back on and using the weight of the car to force the strut back in with plenty of grease would work (even jacking up the boot into the strut didn’t work). Was almost afraid I would have to leave my car on a jack and eventually tow it. Other than that, this is a very good guide for any Mazda 3 owners.
p.s. – FUCK RUST (I have a 2004 mazda 3)
where did you get your lip?
im think bout doing this to honda civic but do i need to change the shocks AS WELL?
get this bitch in the air!!!!
Stock shock? Can these handle the compression
how low did you go?
what kind of shocks do you use for the rear with???
Good thing that spring Compressor Didnt fly off..lol Nice job guys, just did this to my honda, and everything was cool. i just hate compressing the damn springs
Fuck me I just did this, if anyone is going to try have a couple guys at least and some Windex for the strut to slip into the collar. This shit took me like 3-3.5 hours to do solo. I was expecting to be like 1-2. And you really do need to beat the fuck out of the arm in order for the strut to slip out haha, thanks for that tip.
lmao ur ball berrings fell out!!!! wtf did u replace them
god damn that thing was so high before you lowered it.
Cars are like girls, the more fingers you can fit in…the less attractive it is lol
will these springs work on the 2010 mazda 3? and does it matter if you buy for the sedan hatch or 2.0l or 2.5l. like are they all interchangeable?
Haha I have done this twice in a garage on my 3 and my buddies3. I work at a shop so what i did there is the same stuff I do at work. anyways he left out a lot of key details when doing struts and springs.
You didn’t show how to install the rear springs.
GOOOOOOD ONNEE BBRROOOOOOOOO. gee got me there
your not really THAT straight
could have used one on the rear but it wasnt that bad
thats not really THAT low…
I think stead of hammering the bottom of the strut out back the bolt half way out. put a quarter between the two sides and run the bolt into the quarter. It should be threaded on both sides. This will spread the two halves allowing the strut to slide out. It will also allow the new strut or old to slide in easier also.
seems like a lot of work, and a lot of room for error. nice video, but personally id leave it to the professionals.
how many inches is ur drop?
Your garage looks like a pro shop O.o
Home depot lip ROFL!!! Yall are pretty chill haha
Still a little gap, but it’s better than nothing lol
