I have this same question. I've had KW V3 on my car since 2014 and Im kinda tired of it. The COMPLETELY CLUELESS staff and horrible instructions and setup support is the icing on the cake. No one at KW ever knows anything. Its like a bunch of high school kids answering the phones. I definitely...

I raised the car, added +8 (of 12) compression and +6 rebound to the KWs and did some extensive driving over the holidays. This thing bottoms out like crazy. I cant do this anymore. Its scary. I dont even know why they would sell those springs. The car is too heavy up front for 280 lbs/inch. I...

If your referring to the intermediate shaft bearing, dont do all that work and use a non OEM bearing. Just get the Mazda bearing. Its a big job and you dont wanna do it twice.

call the Mazda dealer.

Which bearing? The one I installed from MAZDA for my 2007 Speed3?

Ya well...Im stuck with what I got. For now. I sent my struts in for repair and they dynoed fine but the seals were dry and squeaking like mad so they changed them free-o-charge. 2 week turn around. They have a 340 LBS./in spring which is likely a better fit for the struts. 400 too stiff, 280...

Wow thanks for the tip! I've lived with these lower rate springs and honestly, I think they are too soft...the front struts bottom out much too easily. Then again these struts are 8 years old. I just sent them in to KW for a rebuild. They are also squeaking over moderate size bumps very...

FYI Whiteline has lifetime warranty so if youve got a few years on your Whiteline parts and the original receipt they wil send you new parts for just shipping cost. I installed Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing caster correction 8 years ago and they just me new ones for $25. I was...

I changed the PCV valve in the last few months when I cleaned the valves for the 3rd time. I did overfill the engine with during oil change just 2 weeks ago. Looks like I'm 1/2 a quart over.

Im starting to smell oil...about 50k miles ago I had to change the OEM turbo as it was leaking onto the manifold and startiong to smell like burned oil. Im at 160k miles now. THis is cheap copy of the OEM turbo I bought from Autoanything. Its usually wet under the air intake pipe but not...

What do you feel?

Too spendy...$75.... Although i have had uneven pad wear in front.... Might help.

Rotors were at 12 mm and glazed. Pads were 2/3rds worn. Slide pins were dry. God knows how long these have been glazed.

I understand the 2 designs and have repacked both inner and outer joints on various occasions on various cars. I assumed it was slip fit onto the intermediate shaft....I guess its not...why there needs to be any play there makes no sense to me.

Hey I'm not saying its broken, I'm just saying the design is beyond my understanding. The other end of the CV joint where it enters the hub or where the intermediate shaft enters the differential is a perfect fit. Then this side of the CV with the female end is jiggling on the intermediate...

Here is a better video of the movement of the CV joint at the intermediate shaft but this time with the suspension compressed to push the joint into the intermediate shaft. I never noticed this before....how can this be normal? Its the OEM unit. Why would it have so much lateral play while on...

Me thinks you're right. Does Mazda sell new seals for the calipers?

Napa... Forgot about them. I think they sell packs of them.

I'm at 159k miles... I'm worried the calipers aren't even working anymore..

That's what I have. But where do you buy the name brand clamps?
