Q: What ride height drop should I expect from your lowering springs?

Our dual-rate lowering springs deliver ride height drops specifically engineered for Model 3 and Model Y, while Model S and Model X owners can achieve similar lowering effects through our innovative lowering bracket systems. For Model 3, our dual-rate springs typically deliver 0.75 to 1.25 inches of front and rear drop depending on your spring rate selection—the dual-rate design means the spring uses two different stiffness zones, staying compliant at low load for comfortable street driving while providing firm support under cornering g-forces. Model Y applications offer similar drop ranges (0.75 to 1.25 inches) with spring tuning optimized for the heavier curb weight and different suspension geometry compared to Model 3. The dual-rate technology is critical for Tesla: a progressive spring rate feels softer over bumps (reducing harshness) while providing stiffer support during high-load situations like track driving or aggressive cornering. For Model S and Model X owners, we offer a different solution: lowering brackets that lower the air suspension’s electronic reference points without replacing springs. These brackets trick the factory air suspension into thinking the vehicle is already lower, allowing the system to naturally deflate and lower the car while maintaining factory suspension compliance and air spring functions. The bracket approach is ideal for Model S/X because it preserves the factory air suspension’s benefits (dynamic ride height adjustment, range of suspension stiffness modes) while achieving the desired 0.75 to 1.5 inch drop. Actual drop depends on several factors: spring rate selection (Model 3/Y), vehicle weight and load configuration, suspension geometry, and bump stops. We provide detailed ride height specifications for each spring rate and model, including before-and-after measurements. For your specific Tesla model and desired drop, contact our technical team to determine optimal spring tuning—the combination of dual-rate spring design and model-specific engineering ensures you achieve your target ride height while maintaining or improving ride quality and handling dynamics.
