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.

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,...

Tesla Cybertruck Heavy Duty Rear Bumper with Hardcore Trailer Hitch Receiver - UP INVINCIBLE®
RATED 5.0
I love the rear bumper. So close to the original many don't notice. It protects my investment and allows me to step up to my rack or into my tailgate with the add ons or i can choose to carry a spare. Is really nice to also have that thick steel protect my loved ones from your own or others’...

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...

These wheels are probably the best thing I’ve spent money on for my Model 3. The range increase was extremely noticeable, the curb bands are genius and they look incredible. I’ve never gotten more compliments on wheels than I have with these. The range benefit is real and makes a big difference...

Somewhat similar to the other reviews, these Luxury Coilovers are an amazing product, but may require a little fine tuning. The good news is that if you’re patient, the team at UPP will take great care of you.
I initially placed an order for the Lux Coilovers for my 2021 LR MY in October. With...

I opted to get the race spec coilovers since I track the car. I’m very pleased with the performance of the coilovers. Not to mention the ride height is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to the Unplugged team for their willingness to assist and answer my questions. They are very...

Wheels are better in person on the vehicle. Pictures cannot do justice. The UP team is also very helpful and responsive

I was tired of replacing my rear tires all the time, between the power and weight of the Model Y P, this camber finally allowed me to dial in my alignment for tire wear and better traction. Will pay for itself with tire savings.
