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.
