Q: Square vs staggered: which is better for handling and tire wear?
A square setup allows front-to-rear rotation, which usually improves tire life and keeps handling predictable. Staggered setups can increase rear grip but reduce rotation options and can change balance. Your goals and tire budget should drive the choice.

2021+ Model X Plaid / Model X - Superlight Rear Large-Sweep Carbon Ceramic Rotor + Pad Kit
RATED 5.0
Installed front big brake kit and noticed extreme improvement over stock model x plaid brakes. Later installed the rear carbon ceramic rotors and pads and noticed an appreciable increase in braking power and am now quite comfortable braking from speeds in the 160mph range and that was not the case...

Best thing I’ve done to my Model 3- by far!
Transformed the whole car. Looks better, rides better and handles so much better. Being able to just damping is awesome and super easy. Got these coilovers on in April and immediately drove it on a 4500 mile road trip and noticed the difference right...

I purchased the entire suspension front and rear adjustable, and fixed spherical bushing arm sets, along with the rear sway bar for my 2022 Tesla Model S.
After the complete UP installation, and spec alignment, the car is a different Monster. Not only it is firm and stable at high speeds, but...

Got these with my order of Moderate Springs and Street/Track Sway-bars and they helped reduced the offset tension of lowering the car. Great product and thank you Blake (from customer service) for answering my questions. Unplugged has been a great company to order from, top notch for sure.

I love my Ascension Front Fascia System. It makes my Model 3 look much sportier, and with model 3s just about everywhere these days, it’s great to have my stand out from the crowd.

As part of my purchase of the Luxury Coilover Suspension for my Model Y, I included both the Front Upper Control Arms and Rear Camber Arms, to mitigate any issues with uneven tire wear. When I purchased the UP / BBS Flugplatz wheels with tires, I was relieved that the additional 2 pieces were...

This has been the most important upgrade I’ve made to my car besides the UP carbon ceramic brakes. The adjustability of these suspension parts is second to none. UP does amazing R&D to come up with the best solutions for Teslas, and this product is no exception. Born from race tech they use on...

Such an underrated improvement to my car, reducing unsprung weight of each wheel rotating at speed, improves steering, cornering performance and very aesthetically pleasing! It's incredible how much lighter they are from the stock lug nuts, which feel like heavy weights after handling these titanium...
