Q: Should I choose lowering springs, coilovers, or air suspension lowering on my Tesla?

Each option serves different purposes based on your driving goals and budget. Lowering springs offer a cost-effective solution with minimal installation hassle – they simply replace your factory springs with stiffer, lower units that reduce ride height while maintaining the original damper. This option is ideal for owners seeking a clean aesthetic with modest handling improvements. Coilovers provide complete adjustability of spring rate, ride height, and damping characteristics, allowing fine-tuning for both street and track use. They require more installation expertise but offer superior performance and adaptability if you plan to modify your car further. Air suspension systems (like Tesla’s air suspension upgrade) deliver the ultimate in adjustability, allowing on-the-fly ride height changes for different driving modes and terrains – perfect for owners who want maximum versatility without sacrificing daily drive comfort. Unplugged Performance recommends springs for style-focused owners, coilovers for performance enthusiasts, and air systems for those seeking both comfort and capability.

I ordered my satin graphite UP x BBS Flugplatz wheels in March 2022 and got them delivered and installed in June 2022. The wheels were ceramic coated after delivery. I am running 255/35 Falken tires (all-seasons). These wheels have an amazing design and paint finish. They do a great job at exposing...

Incredibly well tuned for the Model 3. My car is completely flat and on rails through every turn. Very firm in all settings yet still just comfortable enough to daily drive in the first 4 clicks with the oil bypass feature. Super easy to adjust back and forth from weekend driving to daily driving....

These shocks are EXCELLENT. They totally transform the 1st gen Model S. My P90D felt very unbalanced and floaty on my factory struts, these shocks made it feel like a BMW M5...a totally different and improved driving experience. I set these to 50% (2 turns out of 4 on the dampening key), and...

Added these high quality RAC arm set to the D&S PRO coilover suspension lift kit. The ride is amazing after installation and alignment. Highly recommend.

I wanted the ability to lower my 2018 Model X 100D to improve the looks and aerodynamics. Unplugged Performance Sports Dynamic Lowering Kit did both these things for me. I set my Air Suspension to Low, love the look, and a side benefit is a bump in range, due to better airflow around the X. I use...

Same as the fascia, this feels like a must-have Tesla upgrade. The stock Model 3 just doesn’t look the same anymore. I love the dry carbon material and would highly recommend. I wish the diffuser fins came standard, even with a higher cost. With some DIY, you can make the air ducts in the bumper...

Makes the beastly Plaid more responsive and stable.
raviprabhakar October 03, 2022
I had my Coilovers installed by NV Auto in Hamilton Canada. They did a good job and I now have a great ride. After about a month of driving I went one step further and put new 18” rims and tires on. This really improved the ride and is is a joy to drive my Tesla again. Thanks unplugged...

I purchased the entire suspension front and rear adjustable, and fixed spherical bushing arm sets, along with the rear sway bar for my 2022 Tesla Model S. After the complete UP installation, and spec alignment, the car is a different Monster. Not only it is firm and stable at high speeds, but...

In looking for rims for a car the first thing I think of is uniqueness. That’s what drew me to this stylish set. I feel like im the only one in LA with a ste let alone 22’s on a Y and they fit and ride flawlessly. Definitely would suggest getting a pair if you want to stand out. I see they got...
