Elec-Eng Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Hi, I have had an alignment check carried out by a local repair centre as part of a collision repair. (Small deer run into offside front wheel arch. Front wing and drivers door skin replaced.) It has Bilstein dampers with Eibach lowering springs (blue) as fitted from new by Mazda. The ride height, from wheel centre to wheel arch is 325 mm front & back with hand brake off and a full tank of fuel when measurement taken. It has Bridgestone RE050A 205/45 R17 84W run flat tyres. My concern is the report heading states it’s for a “Mazda5 : 2005-2010(CR)†etc. I have contacted the repairer for verification of data, but as yet they have not rung back. So can you please tell me if the attached report data is correct for this model? All the readings are in green on original report, (photo copy supplied to me) clip_image002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Hello The coils Mazda use are made by Eibach but we recognized an issue with them on the HT that being the rake was rear end down. 2009> Eibach made different coils for the HT giving an even lowering of -30mm front/ rear. The MK 3.5 is already 15mm lower than the MK3 so on the Eibach 2009> coils you only lower the car 15mm to a rake of 345mm front and rear.
