Update Feb 2020
New forum website changes have changed the number of posts per page so the lift spring portion begins on page 4 now not as its stated below.
==========================
Update: Sept. 2019
Lift has been achieved! Page 8-9 for reference
Spring have been used instead of spacers.
----------------------------------------------
Update:August 2019
Thread has been renewed with potential starting around the end of page 5 as a vendor may have been found selling springs which would solve the issue in the rear that these spacers could not accommodate.
***
After trial and error install of the spacers I regret to inform that they do not work for the back lift. the parts did not fit the rear suspension because of the torsion beam angle-ing hinging downwards making it extremely dangerous to install in addition to extreme strain it would have put on the brake lines and surrounding hardware etc.
At this point it is not possible to lift the cx-3 (WITH SPACERS) given the setup of the rear suspension from the factory.
DO NOT BUY ANY SPACERS PROMISING LIFT
Its not really a fault of the vendors besides not actually trying the parts theyre selling. It should work in theory if it was not for the torsion beam/rear spring setup.
