Q: What are the performance advantages of Unplugged Performance Model S Plaid Big Brake Kits?

Unplugged Performance big brake kits for the Tesla Model S Plaid provide a dramatic improvement in stopping power, heat management, and pedal feel. Designed for both spirited road use and high-performance track driving, these systems increase rotor size, caliper stiffness, and pad surface area, enabling shorter stopping distances and better brake modulation. On a 5,000+ lb. high-speed vehicle like the Plaid, factory brakes are often the limiting factor under repeated hard stops or aggressive driving. Our kits reduce brake fade with larger thermal capacity and use premium multi-piston calipers and floating rotors to evenly distribute heat and force. This ensures consistent braking performance, whether you’re at Laguna Seca or tackling a mountain pass. Additionally, our kits offer a more aggressive aesthetic that complements the Plaid’s performance identity. For optimal results, we recommend pairing them with our high-performance brake pads and stainless steel lines.

Tesla Model 3 Ascension Front Fascia System (Front Bumper)
I love the front ascension fascia! Really changes the whole look of the Model 3. My least favorite part of the car was the front bumper and this changed it all for me. Noticeable improvement in downforce as well which is a nice touch. Totally transformed the car and I couldn’t be happier. Also...

These wheels are insanely light and strong! And, they look the bomb! If I didn’t look while picking them up, I would have thought they are carbon fiber! The same spec as was originally used on the Bionic Phoenix Model 3 race car! I put in my fastest time at Buttonwillow on these wheels running...

After lowering my car I had some bad rear tire wear because I wasn't able to get a good alignment with the stock arms. This was a quick and easy fix :) 10/10

Tesla Model Y Adjustable Front and Rear Sway Bar Set
My Model Y now handles so much better after adding these sway bars! What a great bang for your buck upgrade- really made a huge difference. Never loved how the Model Y handled in corners (especially the newer suspension on the 2022) and this solved the problem. Car stays so much flatter in corners...

Tesla Model S / Model S Plaid (2021 - 2026+) Adjustable Front & Rear Sway Bar
What a difference this sway bar made to my Model S Plaid. This helps correct the body roll the car has from the factory. I have much more confidence taking turns at a higher speed, and freeway on-ramps have become extremely fun. I would highly recommend upgrading your sway bar in the Model S!

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...
