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 S / Plaid - Superlight Carbon Ceramic Front Big Brake Kit (BBK)
These brakes have been a game changer for the Plaid. It's a bulky 5000lb 1000hp monster and needs brakes that fit the bill. Unfortunately, the stock setup left a lot to be desired especially when climbing towards the higher speeds. At that point, the brake application felt more like a suggestion and...

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.

Got these coil overs installed on my model 3 performance, and wow what a difference. Not only do they outperform the stock suspension in acceleration and cornering, but they also just ride so much smoother. Highly recommend!

Easy to install. I did the 15/20 F/R. I like it. Not to aggressive but enough to stand out. No pun intended. Feels a little more stable. Can’t wait for the lowering springs to get here. Another great product from UP. ps the packaging is also done well.

Upgrading to stainless steel brake lines is a nice upgrade and an absolute must if you are planning to hit the track. I’ve taken my Tesla to Tesla Corsa a few times, and the improved pedal feel and reliability you get from these lines and high-performance pads is well worth it. Having this work...
