I guess after hearing about the largest recall for the Mazda CX-9 might make some Edge owners feel on the Edge after hearing about that and makes you wonder. Z http://www.nbcnews.com/business/autos/mazda-recalls-cx-9-suvs-prevent-loss-steering-n404486

For the price of a CAI you can tune it...with lifetime service... by buying a used tuner. At least from Unleashed or LME. That's what I did. Congrats on the coming addition. No one can afford kids (I have 4)... Just do a budget rearrangement.

thanks! i'll ask for a tune for my birthday or Christmas. after looking at pics online, it looks like the rear springs are the right type that can be cut so I can bring the rear end down and that I can do for free! but it's going to still be awhile. very hectic few weeks ahead, gotta finish my annual training for the reserves, start school, wedding plan, baby doctor visits and my contracting job is switching company's so I gotta freshen up the resume and interview for my same job.... ughh
IDK, cutting springs on a 4500 lb car seems like a terrible idea.92BlackGT said:BiGMaC said:Agree^^^SHOdded said:x2 on the congrats! Great, great news, though I am afraid the big bang for your buck will still be, like PM pointed out, a tune for the SHO

It absolutely is a terrible idea..a lot of springs have a progressive rate meaning the spring rate is non linear.. So cutting them probably throws the design geometry out of whack. it's just a cheapo way to do something ...such a classy car to have a tasteless mod done to it..springs are so cheap

Did well. I need to adjust my Equalizer hitch, should put more weight towards front axle. Never adjusted it after I raised the rear 3-4" and seems like bars aren't working as much.
Also need to figure out best PSI for the tires. 4wheel parts had them at 75 PSI, pretty rough on uneven pavement. I lowered to 70 PSI on trip home and felt a little better.

Spoke with a few people and still on National back order with no eta,just dont want to settle for an aftermarket which they have in stock,another note to mention is that the glass co assured me there would be no water intrusion because of the two layered glass structure hopefully. ZSHOdded said:
