☑️ Full Compatibility: This lift kit is 100% compatible with all first-generation Mazda CX-8 (KG) model variants. It seamlessly fits all factory trim levels (including 25S, XD, and Exclusive Mode), both drivetrain configurations (Front-Wheel Drive and i-Activ All-Wheel Drive), and all powertrain options (including Skyactiv-G petrol and Skyactiv-D diesel engines) produced from 2017–present.

• Front Axle Installation (Bolts): To accommodate the lift spacers, the original factory bolts in the front struts must be replaced with the high-tensile extended bolts included in the kit. These bolts thread directly into the strut mount to ensure a secure and rigid connection.
• Rear Adapter Nuts (Sleeve Nuts): Designed to extend the vehicle's original factory studs. These specially engineered sleeve nuts thread directly onto the stock short studs, passing through the spacer to ensure optimal thread engagement and a secure mount without requiring the removal or pressing out of factory hardware.
• Shock Geometry & Extenders (Rear Axle): To maintain the correct suspension travel after lifting, this kit includes rear shock absorber extenders. These are essential for preserving the lifespan of your shocks and ensuring the piston operates within its intended range, preventing "bottoming out" on uneven roads.
• Note on Rear Spacer Design: To achieve the stated +30mm of actual lift, the physical thickness of the rear spacers is calculated to include the height of the original factory spring pads. By integrating these measurements, we ensure a precise fit and the exact lift height promised, regardless of the thickness of your old, worn-out factory isolators.
• Installation Note (Rear Axle): Important: The factory rubber spring isolators (gaskets) must be removed before installing the new spacers. Our spacers are designed to replace the factory isolators entirely, not to be installed on top of them.
• Lift Height Disclaimer: Please note that the final lift height may vary depending on the individual condition and service life of your vehicle's suspension. Factors such as spring fatigue, engine weight (Skyactiv-G petrol vs. Skyactiv-D diesel), and the presence of heavy optional equipment can influence the final result.

Our spacers are manufactured from professional-grade Polyurethane SCU-PFL-100 (93A Shore hardness). This material is the core of our Classic line, offering distinct advantages:

• Comfort & Quiet:

  Unlike metal spacers, polyurethane effectively absorbs road vibrations, maintaining high ride comfort and reducing suspension noise.

• Stealth Appearance:

  ⚫ The solid classic black color of the polyurethane ensures that the spacers remain invisible under the wheel arches and look like original equipment.

• Extreme Durability:

  100% resistant to road salt, oils, and harsh weather conditions. Polyurethane never rusts or corrodes, making it ideal for both snowy regions and coastal areas with high humidity.

• Structural Integrity:

  The 93A hardness ensures the spacers hold their shape even under heavy loads, while remaining flexible enough to protect your suspension.

• Wheel Alignment: A professional wheel alignment is required after installing the lift kit. This is a mandatory step to ensure proper handling and to keep your tires wearing evenly.
• Self-Installation: A spring compressor is required for installation. Please ensure you have the proper tools if you plan to install the kit yourself.
• Professional Installation: For your safety and the best results, we recommend having this kit installed by a qualified mechanic or a suspension specialist.

While this kit is for +30mm, we offer various heights of spacers to help you build the perfect lift kit for your needs. You can combine different heights to compensate for rear-end sag or to achieve a specific custom stance for your vehicle.
