How should I get my Mazda CX-7 lowered?
My wife suffers from arthritis and has problems getting in and out of my SUV. I’d like to find a way to lower it to make life a bit easier for her. How should I get my Mazda CX-7 lowered?

Many people find they have difficulty getting into SUVs and trucks—it’s not an uncommon problem. Now, when it comes to getting your
Mazda CX-7
lowered, you’ll likely want to install a lowering kit.For the CX-7, the average price for a lowering kit will be about $300+ without installation. Because working with compressed coils is dangerous, you should have a mechanic do the work unless you have the right tools and you know what you are doing. It’s not a simple DIY project for the novice SUV or car owner.
Finally, here are some mistakes to avoid when lowering your Mazda CX-7:
- Not realigning your CX-7 after it’s been lowered. When you don’t realign, you may have issues with the way your SUV rides and also the way your tires wear.
- Not paying attention to your fenders. If you’re planning to lower your car so much that it may cause your fenders to run against the tires, you’ll need to adjust the fenders as well.
- Not adjusting your driving. Your suspension will be different—and your CX-7 will handle differently. Be cautious with the way you drive after it’s been lowered.
Best wishes on making your CX-7 accessible for your wife!
