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.

Sports Dynamic Air Suspension Upgrade (Lowering) Kit for Tesla Model S (2012-2020)
I tried the sports dynamic kit because I wanted a lower center of gravity for autocross. That it has a stock/sports spec that can be relatively easily modified was a draw, in addition to the idea that these are a fixed bracket that sets in place. The installation was indeed quite straight forwards,...
