What does everyone think about these photos of the CX-30 with lowered suspension? I wish this was someone's actual car but it's well done rendering.

The roof rack is a really nice touch too.

don't see the point

Painted black clay looks pretty good.

Why, why, why

I like the wheels, the color, and the roof rack, but when it's lowered like this it reminds me of the Mazda3.

It really does look a lot like the 3 when it's lowered.

Here's another photo of a CX-30 with lowered suspension.

Here's another photo of a CX-30 with lowered suspension.

that looks like a CX-4, not a CX-30

Not a CX 4. Not a CX 30, Just a lowered CX 5 with a funny grill.. Almost makes it look like a wagon. Nice one at that.

Had they lowered that CX 30 (the one in the top photo) a bit less it would not look so silly.

As I understand it the Euro CX-30 is an inch lower than the North American one just noticeable in photos reducing that huge gap between the top of the tires and the bottom of flares. An inch lower still would be just right.

Heck, Mazda should just simplify their product line with a tall AWD version of the 30 along with a lowered 2 wheel drive model. Just forget the slow selling 3 hatch. I say this even though I own a new 3.

My bad guys, I guess I got a bit carried away with that last photo. ?

It looks sweet. Very Macan like.

that looks really cool. Dare I say, even cooler than the 3 hatch

I'm with you I think it looks great. I think it could be popular to modify.

I am not a fan of this but interesting

I don't like it all. Just get a 3 Hatchback lol.

As soon as a brand introduces lowering springs, I plan on lowering my wife’s 30. Nothing drastic, just to reduce the wheel-tire gap and soften out the big black plastic cladding. Its too awkward imo.

My lowered CX-5 on Eibach springs.

Pros- Improved cornering, reduced body roll on turns, can’t notice any difference in ride height, improved appearance (imo). Haven’t had any bottoming out issues

Cons: Bumpier ride over rough roads and my back hurt for 3 days after DIY install

This is what it looked like before lowering

Did you custom paint over some of the cladding along the wheel wells or have it removed? It looks so much better!!!!!

Sorry for the confusion, the photo is my CX-5.

Do you have a rough idea how much your CX-5 was lowered by? I'm just trying to get an idea about how low it is. It looks fantastic!
