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.

Tesla Model S / Plaid - Superlight Carbon Ceramic Front Big Brake Kit (BBK)
I’ve worked on cars and pushed them close to their mechanical limits all my life. This Model S Plaid definitely needs a brake upgrade if you tend to push your car harder than the average driver lol. The BBK install was pretty straight forward. You can use the instructions provided or with no...

Tesla Cybertruck Wheel Spacers - 30mm & 50mm  - UP INVINCIBLE®
I went with the 30mm spacers just to give the Cybertruck a slightly wider stance. These are very well-built. I have put almost 2,000 miles on the truck since installing the spacers and couldn't be happier. The driving dynamic did not change noticeably and I have not noticed a significant reduction...

Tesla Model 3 Front Lip Spoiler
I really like how understated this lip is. It blends in perfectly with the existing bumper but you can still tell there is something unique about your car when it's installed. I have a grey model 3 and purchased the painted one. Although the site says it's not the exact same as the factory color, I...

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...

Tesla Model Y Billet Adjustable Rear Camber Arm Set
Great complement to my Model Y's coil overs and sway bar set up. Significant handling improvements overall. Best of all, these camber arms give me the peace of mind of not worrying about uneven tire wear after dropping my ride height 1 inch. Car looks and feels great on the road.

Love the look of these as they add a more aggressive look for the front. Same subtle style that goes along very well with the front lip for non-performance M3.
