Q: Can I use factory alignment specs after installing Unplugged Performance lowering springs on my Tesla?

While it’s possible to use factory alignment specs after installing Unplugged Performance lowering springs, we strongly recommend a performance alignment tailored to your new ride height. Lowering any Tesla—whether it’s a Model S, 3, X, Y, or Cybertruck—alters suspension geometry, particularly camber and toe settings. Without adjustment, these changes can lead to uneven tire wear, compromised traction, and reduced handling precision. Unplugged Performance offers custom alignment specifications developed specifically for lowered Teslas to restore optimal handling balance and maximize tire longevity. Factory Alignment settings paired with aftermarket lowering springs, coilover systems, or air suspension kits will lead to accelerated inner tire wear. Our alignment guidelines are engineered to strike the ideal balance between daily comfort and responsive performance. An alignment check is essential after installation, even if the drop is relatively mild. For drivers seeking additional control, we also offer adjustable suspension arms and camber kits to fine-tune geometry to your exact preference. Whether your goal is performance, aesthetics, or both, proper alignment is key to unlocking the full benefits of your suspension upgrade and extending the life of your tires.

Tesla Model X (2021+) Adjustable Sway Bars - Front & Rear
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...

This brace really tightens up the car. It also got rid of some of the rattles I had coming from the rear seat. Little tough to get in and out, but really an awesome upgrade

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...

Billet Adjustable Rear Camber Arm Set for Tesla Model S and Model X (2012-2020)
Essential upgrade for Model S and especially a Gen 1 which has excess rear negative camber which contributes to significant uneven tire wear. Combine that with a proper Unplugged alignment and your Model S will be driving better than it did from the factory.
