Q: What are the performance advantages of Unplugged Performance Model S Plaid Big Brake Kits?

Unplugged Performance big brake kits for the Tesla Model S Plaid provide a dramatic improvement in stopping power, heat management, and pedal feel. Designed for both spirited road use and high-performance track driving, these systems increase rotor size, caliper stiffness, and pad surface area, enabling shorter stopping distances and better brake modulation. On a 5,000+ lb. high-speed vehicle like the Plaid, factory brakes are often the limiting factor under repeated hard stops or aggressive driving. Our kits reduce brake fade with larger thermal capacity and use premium multi-piston calipers and floating rotors to evenly distribute heat and force. This ensures consistent braking performance, whether you’re at Laguna Seca or tackling a mountain pass. Additionally, our kits offer a more aggressive aesthetic that complements the Plaid’s performance identity. For optimal results, we recommend pairing them with our high-performance brake pads and stainless steel lines.

Great add on for your Tesla to really dial in the alignment! Great time to do it is when you’re lowering your car already or getting an alignment anyways. Improving tire wear is very important for me as I drive a lot and been getting more miles/set than ever before. Highly recommend!

Im impressed at the High quality. Love the subtle and clean look.
Adam M. November 21, 2025
My Model Y's overall ride quality and handling performance SERIOUSLY improved after getting this sway bar set installed! I can't get over how much more fun my Model Y is to drive now. I was so excited to put these to the test after getting them installed. The very next day, we went on a road trip...

Extremely well built and engineered. Best on the market.
Cordell November 24, 2025
Oh, wow; it is insane that one bar can dramatically alter the dynamics of the car. It is so much more planted and stable during those freeway maneuvers, which was the primary reason I bought the bar. The car is just solid at all speeds. Really solid. What is shocking is that the comfort levels seem...

I really like how understated this lip is. It blends in perfectly with the existing bumper but you can still tell there is something unique about your car when it's installed. I have a grey model 3 and purchased the painted one. Although the site says it's not the exact same as the factory color, I...

I had another set carbon steel running boards on my Cybertruck for a while and finally got to see the UP Invincible HD Rock Sliders while out at XTakeover this summer. They looked so good and were noticeably more sturdy than what I had on the truck. I replaced mine with a set of these HD Rock...

Purchased these with the luxury coilovers but kept things at stock ride height. So far, everything is great!
hadfiiw March 04, 2023
Such an underrated improvement to my car, reducing unsprung weight of each wheel rotating at speed, improves steering, cornering performance and very aesthetically pleasing! It's incredible how much lighter they are from the stock lug nuts, which feel like heavy weights after handling these titanium...

Want to stand out among other Cybtertrucks? This is a great place to start. If you're trying to decide between the 30mm and 50mm, go with the 50mm. The 2" that it kicks each tire out absolutely toughens the stance of the Cybertruck. I found these spacers to be EXTREMELY well made and easy to...

Significantly improved feel from this suspension kit. Don't forget yo get camber adjustments and springs that make this suspension upgrade feel like a whole new car!
bluetrevian March 20, 2024
The stock brakes are dangerous. A silly underpowered part. Immediately shift to these track tested brakes. Safety is all that matters! The bonus is the gorgeous disk!
raviprabhakar October 03, 2022
Not a fan of the OEM rear look of the Model 3. This got me looking back at my car every chance I get! Better rear downforce as well. Feels much more confident around turns at high speeds.
Andrew P. September 07, 2022
These shirt feel amazing. Light and breathable. They fit well around the arms and chest. Cool print design. The shipping was really quick and amazing service! Kudos to Andrew for providing an over the top customer service with much excellence.
joydadulla September 29, 2022
Great emblem to have installed and matches OEM emblems.
Christian N. December 04, 2025
Bought it years ago and it’s still in perfect condition. Super high quality carbon, no yellowing and still sticks on hard to the car! Looks stunning as well.
Andrew P. September 29, 2022
I always hated how my Model Y would sway side to side at high speed on the highway when the road conditions were poor, even with the coil overs I wanted a little more stiffness and this fixed the problem, now it feels more like a Porsche/BMW M.
Jorge (. August 23, 2022
My 2021 Model Y performance rode very harsh and bumpy. Like the suspension bottomed out on every pothole. I did the suspension upgrade and it’s a HUGE difference. My car rides great now. It handles the potholes no big deal now. I wish I had done this three years ago when I got the car. Sandy...
stevelakeport September 20, 2024
Tesla will just replace the entire control arm, with THE SAME inferior rubber bushing. Was happy to find these UPGRADED bushings to solve the problem for good. Excellent customer service as well.
James T. January 15, 2025
I'm currently putting together my custom UP INVINCIBLE® kit from Unplugged Performance with the help of Frank, and the transformation is insane. The lineup includes the HD Front Bumper with the optional 11-inch LED light bar that absolutely lights up the night, the bulletproof Heavy Duty Rear...
