Mazdaspeed ride height adjustment

Postby Gladiator » Thu Apr 26, 2012 3:50 pm

My Na6 has mazdaspeed coilovers (see pic), but the drivers side is 25mm lower than the passenger side. My front right tyre scrapes on a hard left hander. Does any one know if the ride height is adjustable on these, and how easy to do for a fairly capable DIYer?

Cheers
Andrew

Those are not height adjustable ones. (Height adjustables were blue and silver, and had a great big threaded collar at the base)

However, from the pic you have the matching Mazdaspeed Springs, which lower the car by about 25-30mm from factory.

make sure all the springs are the same (did a previous owner maybe get confused and put the lowered springs on one side and forget the other?)

Other than that, they should be about the same height all around.

About 10mm lower on driver side is not uncommon, although tends to be the rear:
