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.

Tesla Model Y Luxury Suspension Kit
RATED 4.0
Good retrofit for a known problem w early Model Y's. Delivery of the parts was very delayed taking nearly three months after order. The installation experience was fine and seemed to be professionally done, however two retention clips on the aeroshield were missing after installation and were...

After ordering the springs I waited a bit because they were on back order. However they were worth the wait. I was afraid that the improved stance would compromise the ride, but it totally didn’t. The ride is improved and the look is perfect! Thank you Blake for the friendly service!

I received my Model Y in October of 2020. After watching many many YouTube videos I was expecting the Model Y suspension to be rough, it was. Some of the videos mentioned unplugged performance. I was willing to invest the money anticipating a dramatic change just like the YouTube videos I watched....

These brakes perform great and I should have upgraded to these a long time ago. Pedal travel with with the included brake lines are much improved as well.

You can see my photos under Steve Guevara. WHEELS, what to say about this indescribable addition. There are so many incredible things added to my SMG3, but this wheel set altered the car drastically. The RIDE is much improved with the grip around tight corners like Topanga Canyon with the other four...

Tesla Model S / Plaid (2012+) UP x Koenigsegg Collaboration Carbon Fiber Long Tail Trunk Spoiler
RATED 5.0
This spoiler has a perfect balance. It isn't as subtle as the OEM performance Teslas, yet not comically large. A fitting addition to the Plaid! Great design as is to be expected from Koenigsegg.
Slight efficiency gains at high speeds as well.

This brace was an amazing upgrade for my car. I added the UP rear sway bar first then the full UP suspension then this Strut Tower Brace. I feel this completed the feel i was looking for. The cars back end feels so solid while cornering and over the bumpys feels so solid too. A noticeable...

I wanted the ability to lower my 2018 Model X 100D to improve the looks and aerodynamics. Unplugged Performance Sports Dynamic Lowering Kit did both these things for me. I set my Air Suspension to Low, love the look, and a side benefit is a bump in range, due to better airflow around the X. I use...

I purchased these as set with my coil overs and these are definite must to install. These bushing add great handling to your steering. Steering is more accurate and responds well to the drivers needs. Highly recommend!

Great complement to my Model Y's coil overs and sway bar set up. Significant handling improvements overall. Best of all, these camber arms give me the peace of mind of not worrying about uneven tire wear after dropping my ride height 1 inch. Car looks and feels great on the road.

Great experience. The Unplugged team was very helpful and answered all of my questions regarding the drop and clearance. The photos in the gallery were super helpful as well.

After using the fascia for over two years, this feels like a must-have Tesla upgrade. The stock Model 3 just doesn’t look the same anymore. I would recommend epoxy over double-sided tape to secure the ultrasonic sensors for a longer-lasting, flush fitment.

I received the lower compliance Aft arms today (fri), after ordering on mon. I wasn't sure I'd have time to install, since I already had a lot on my plate, but this afternoon I had a couple spare hours, it ended up only taking about 45 min, including getting the Tesla on jack stands. my...

I’m obsessed with my Ascension rear fascia! Gives the backend of the Model 3 a much needed improvement while improving rear downforce. Changed the whole look of the car from the back and it looks incredible. Will never own a Model 3 without it- it’s such a major difference. Really makes your car...

We are loving our new UP Luxury Coilovers on our 2021 Model Y! The improvement is noticeable at level 8, the car handles bumps much more smoothly, and the handling seems to have improved as well.
I worked primarily with Kirk and he was great. Very approachable and easy to talk to. He talked...

The UP-03 lightweight & strong wheels are by far THE best wheels I have purchased for my Teslas. These wheels are installed on my Model 3, Y & X. These wheels not only turn heads but also improve efficiency and noticeable difference in speed due to their light weight characteristics. These wheels...
