Q: Can UP Forged wheels affect my car’s performance?
Yes, wheels can impact performance in various ways. Lighter wheels can improve acceleration, braking and range, while heavier wheels can have the opposite effect. Additionally, wider wheels can enhance traction but may affect ride quality and handling, depending on the setup especially when stepping up to a larger diameter wheel and a tire with a smaller height sidewall.

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...

Loved the dual rate feature. A more comfortable ride for daily driving and a stiffer more controlled feel for spirited driving!

Moto Miwa definitely made the right recommendation for the Moderate Lowering springs for my Model 3 Performance. They gave it the perfect balance between drop and functionality - good ride quality and no scraping. Also, in another conversation regarding tire wear, Moto suggested I purchase the...

Tesla Model 3 Luxury Suspension Kit
RATED 5.0
WIFE APPROVED!!!
I have a 2018 Model 3 LR AWD with the stock 18" wheels. I've always felt that the ride was a bit stiff and jittery with the stock suspension. Looking around for a solution, I came across coil-over kits which were expensive and I really didn't think I would need the adjustability...
