Got these with my order of Moderate Springs and Street/Track Sway-bars and they helped reduced the offset tension of lowering the car. Great product and thank you Blake (from customer service) for answering my questions. Unplugged has been a great company to order from, top notch for sure.

The shop we had these installed was a 1.5 hour highway drive away so the trip home was a great test to see if we liked them (we live in NC). It was immediately noticeable that the ride of our 2021 Y was softer and bumps were not as hard. We had the shop set our coilovers to setting number "3" and...

Worked great, much less brake fade throughout my runs and lets me have more confidence in my stopping power as the heat builds.
Andrew P. August 23, 2022
The pictures on the website does not do justice. the wheels look extremely beautiful. Kirk was extremely helpful, and coordination was amazing. My wheels are gloss black, not able to add a picture to the review if not would do it. I went with slightly bigger wheels 20x10.5 front and 20X11 back. ...

My wife drives a Model Y as her daily driver and for a commuter car the model Y suspension can be very harsh. Purchased the luxury coilovers and sway bars to help with this. Only 1 mechanic in North Carolina was certified to do it that was in the unplugged performance network and I had problems...

On the track or not these sway bars make your car feel solid on turns. Immediately I noticed improved corner turns which is great! Highly recommend!
jesus.ruiz.2389 February 02, 2023
Excellent fitment, packaging, and overall product. The stock bar compared to UP's is no comparison. Installed on medium setting and will be changing it to the stiffest this weekend, which is extraordinarily easy to do.
Patrick R. October 06, 2022
Extremely well built and engineered. Best on the market.
Cordell November 24, 2025
An absolutely must have product! I have a 2021 Tesla Model Y Long Range and since the beginning could not stop noticing how rough the ride was. In the Bay Area the roads are ridiculously uneven and are in terrible conditions with bumps, potholes, uneven payments and much more on the roads leading...
