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...

Ross is the most awesome - extremely helpful in the purchasing process of this BBK - not only I got in red, Ross was able to build it without the logo, send me custom dry transfer decal for me to have a full custom look. This brakes stops radically better than OEM. For a car as heavy as the Model X,...

For my 2018 Model 3P I got the mild springs. Amazing! The ride feel is even better than I was hoping for. The car is my daily driver and the harshness of the stock springs with the 20" rims made me consider switching to 19". Instead I figured I try UP's dual rate springs first since it seemed to...
