Q: Will lowering my car reduce my ground clearance and what happens if I scrape my car?
Yes, your ground clearance will be adjusted by equivalent lowering value of the lowering spring you select. We address this question in greater depth above within the subject “which version should I get?”. Cars of factory height and of all shapes and sizes unfortunately sometimes encounter situations in which they scrape and/or incur damage. In such cases the cost of that damage is the responsibility of the driver and not of the vehicle or aftermarket part manufacturer. When choosing to lower your vehicle, we encourage you to be aware that you are reducing ground clearance and therefore increasing your chances of impact. Drivers of previously low cars tend to understand this inherently, however if this topic is new to you please take consideration of all facts before making your decision.

Been waiting for this part from UP since purchasing my coilovers almost 2 years ago and just perfect timing that old links are completely shot and this totally changed the overall feel of the car and reduced tension. Customer service is excellent and will be doing next upgrades with UP

One of my favorite upgrades to the Model 3, allows for fine-tuning of the entire suspension system to balance the car out. Each notch makes a noticeable difference, so certainly flexibility with the settings. I started with Medium/Medium settings and tuned them according to the car's handling.

I have tracked my m3p twice now at road America and a local track blackhawk farms. The power to pull the car out of corners make it pretty competitive in stock form. The number one complaint was body roll and poor weight transfer into corners. The competition sways eliminated all of those concerns....

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...

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...

Worth every penny. The iron BFB is one of my favorite things I’ve done to my car so far. Brakes are one of the most important things on a car and I notice such an improvement with these over stock brakes. On track I am able to brake much later into corners and the brakes have basically zero fade...

The Plaid is a hefty car, and this is particularly felt at bends.
This simple upgrade makes a welcome improvement in maneuvering the vehicle. It gives a greater sense of control.
