Q: Do I need to get an alignment after installing aftermarket wheels?
Although it is not necessary, unless suspension modifications are also being installed at the same time, it’s often recommended to get a alignment after installing new wheels, especially if the size, offset, or width of the wheels significantly differs from stock specifications. This helps prevent uneven tire wear and ensures that the vehicle handles properly.

Purchased these to dial in my rear alignment, went through so many rear tires glad to be back into spec. I had a tire blow out on the freeway with my family because I didn't notice the inside of the tire had worn down so much in just 4k miles! These rear-toe arms would have avoided that ordeal.

These bearings were installed for me by a shop that unplugged put me in touch with. Their service was excellent. The bearings were able to be installed with zero use of heat, unlike bearing kits for other cards and potentially from other brands. The road feel and confidence in the back end is...

Installed in the morning and waited to drive, since I’m paranoid about losing it. Installation was easy. Directions were clean and easy to navigate. The packaging was more than adequate for protection. Not to mention it looks absolutely fantastic on my 2026 White Model 3. Keep it up!

Got these coil overs installed on my model 3 performance, and wow what a difference. Not only do they outperform the stock suspension in acceleration and cornering, but they also just ride so much smoother. Highly recommend!

I purchased this wheelset after repeatedly denting my OEM wheels via Pennsylvania pothole mayhem. A friend recommended them, and they are marketed as bulletproof.
The reason for my purchase was utilitarian, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much better they look in person than online …. They...

Best spoiler out there for your Tesla! Looks and fits so much better than the stock one while improving range at the same time! Spoiler fitment is perfect and still holding on tight 18 months in. It’s the perfect size and the carbon weave is awesome. Great value and looks. Don’t even consider...

I wanted to wait a few weeks before leaving my review to really see if there was a significant difference and it is a significantly better ride. I commute 70 miles a day on a fairly rough socal highway and the change is noticeable. Yes, you’re still going to feel the bumps but they are not as...

I installed this sway bar today. I was shocked by the outcome in terms of handling. It feels almost playful in the corners now, where as before it felt like it was exclusively about straight lines and that corners were sort of something to get through. It's on a medium setting, and I think if I had...

I decided to upgrade the stock sway bars on my Model 3. Unplugged Performance installed these adjustable sway bars and overall the car handles nice and tight. The handling does feel tighter and more responsive. Definitely got rid of the body roll which I am happy with. Big difference in...
