Product Details
Transform Your Model X: From Family SUV to Precision Performance Machine
The Tesla Model X, and especially the 1,020-horsepower Model X Plaid, is a genuine engineering marvel. It seats a family, swings its Falcon Wing doors open in a crowded parking lot, and still launches to 60 mph quicker than almost any supercar on the road. Yet there is one thing the factory Model X was never engineered to do well: change direction with confidence. As an SUV, it carries its considerable mass up high, and that simple fact defines how it feels the moment you turn the wheel with intent. Our High-Performance Suspension Package was built to solve exactly that problem, giving your Model X the composure, grip, and connected feel that its extraordinary drivetrain has always deserved.
The Challenge with the Model X Plaid
Every SUV fights physics, and the Model X is no exception. Its tall ride height and elevated center of gravity mean that hard cornering loads transfer weight aggressively to the outside tires, producing the body roll and lean that make a heavy vehicle feel ponderous and reluctant. The factory air suspension was tuned for a plush, isolated ride, which is wonderful on the highway but leaves the chassis feeling vague and floaty when the pace picks up. Under the Plaid’s violent acceleration, the rear squats and the front goes light, and under hard braking the nose dives, shifting grip away from where you need it. Compounding this, the stock stamped-steel control arms and soft rubber bushings flex under load, allowing your carefully set alignment to drift precisely when the tires are working hardest. The result is understeer, unpredictable weight transfer, and a disconnected steering feel that robs you of confidence. Owners also have very little ability to dial in camber, caster, and toe on a stock car, so the geometry can never be optimized for spirited driving or track use.
A Complete, Integrated System
This package does not chase a single symptom. It re-engineers the entire suspension as one matched system. It begins with the UP Sports Dynamic Air Suspension Lowering Kit, which drops the ride height and lowers the center of gravity while preserving the convenience and adjustability of the factory air system. Every critical link is then replaced with precision billet aluminum arms: the Front Upper Control Arm Set (Ultimate Edition FUCA), the Rear Trailing Arm Set, the Rear Traction Arm Set, the adjustable Rear Camber Arm Set, the Rear Lower Arm Set, and the adjustable Rear Toe Arm Set. These rigid, motorsport-grade components replace the flex-prone factory hardware and use spherical or high-durometer bushings that hold your alignment settings under the highest cornering and braking loads. A dedicated UP Rear Sway Bar ties the package together, dramatically reducing body roll and letting you tune the handling balance to your taste, from planted and stable to sharp and eager.
Just as importantly, the adjustable arms give you real control over camber, caster, and toe, so you can set your Model X up for a comfortable daily commute, a spirited canyon drive, or a full track day. Cornering grip, stability, and control climb dramatically, body roll and effective center of gravity drop, turn-in becomes crisp, and the SUV finally puts its power down with the traction and predictability the platform always promised.
Proven on the World’s Most Demanding Stages
This is not theoretical engineering. Unplugged Performance is the recognized leader in Tesla performance, and every component in this package is shaped by hard-won motorsport experience. Our team campaigned Tesla vehicles at the legendary Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, a brutal 12.42-mile, 156-corner sprint that climbs to over 14,000 feet and punishes suspension geometry, rigidity, and thermal endurance like nowhere else on Earth. That same development program produced our UP x Ohlins coilover platforms and fed directly into the design of these billet arms and sway bars. Thousands of hours of track testing, road validation, and real-world customer feedback stand behind every part, ensuring the durability and repeatability that serious drivers demand.
Built for the Street, Ready for the Track
Whether you tackle school runs and road trips, carve your favorite backroad, or chase lap times at your local circuit, this package delivers a genuine transformation without compromising everyday usability. Every part is engineered, manufactured, and quality-controlled to the highest standard, backed by the Unplugged Performance warranty and a global network of authorized installers. Professional installation is available at our flagship facility in Hawthorne, California, or through any independent performance or alignment shop comfortable working on Tesla vehicles. Each component can also be purchased individually, but assembled as a complete system they unlock the full potential of your Model X.
Stop letting the chassis hold back the drivetrain. Give your Model X the suspension it was always meant to have.

What is the best way to transform how a 2021+ Model X handles?
Address the whole corner at once instead of one part at a time. This High Performance Suspension Package does that: it pairs the air suspension lowering kit with a full set of billet rear arms and the FUCA up front, so ride height and full alignment control both come into range together. Cornering grip and stability climb while body roll drops. For a heavy SUV, treating the system as a system is what actually moves the needle.
What exactly comes in this Model X package?
Eight upgrades ship together: the Sports Dynamic Air Suspension lowering kit, the Front Upper Control Arm Set Ultimate Edition, plus the billet rear trailing, traction, camber, toe, and lower arms, and your choice of sway bar coverage. Every piece is sold separately too, but the bundle covers the full platform in one order.
Is there a separate version of this package for the Plaid?
No, one package covers both. The 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid share the air suspension and the new multi-link rear end, so the same components bolt to either trim without a Plaid-specific variant. The price runs $7,370.00 to $7,865.00, set by the sway bar option you pick rather than by which trim you drive.
Why does the price change between $7,370 and $7,865?
The spread comes from the sway bar choice in the configurator. You can take a single bar or the full front-and-rear set, and each option lands at a different total. Everything else in the package stays the same. Pick the sway bar coverage that matches how much roll control you want, and the price adjusts accordingly.
Can I install the whole package at Unplugged Performance in Hawthorne?
You can. The complete package can be installed at our Hawthorne, CA facility, or by any independent performance or alignment shop that is comfortable working on Tesla vehicles. This is a big job that ends with a full corner-balance and alignment, so a shop that knows the platform matters. Request a quote on the page and the team will sort scheduling.
Do I need every arm, or can I start smaller?
You can start smaller. Every component here is available on its own, so an owner can buy the lowering kit now and add rear arms later. The reason to buy it as a package is completeness: full alignment control plus a lower center of gravity, dialed in together. If budget is staged, begin with the air suspension lowering kit and build from there.
How much alignment adjustment does this give me over stock?
A lot. The stock Model X gives you almost no way to dial alignment. This package adds adjustment at the front upper arm and across the rear links, so you can set the SUV up for tire life, for range, or for track grip. That control is the whole point. It also lets you correct the geometry changes that come with lowering the car.
Will fitting this package jeopardize my Model X factory warranty?
Installing it does not automatically end your Tesla coverage. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a dealer cannot deny a claim just because aftermarket suspension is fitted; they must tie a specific failure to the part. Having the set professionally installed and keeping your stock components both help if a question ever comes up. Our team can walk through the specifics before you commit.
Is this overkill for a Model X that mostly does school runs and road trips?
Not necessarily, but be honest about your goals. If you never push the car, the lowering kit and a sway bar deliver most of what you will feel day to day. The billet arms earn their keep when you want precise alignment control or genuine track capability, and when lowering has thrown off your tire wear. Buy to how you actually drive. Some owners want the whole thing purely for the dialed-in feel.
How does this compare to the Street Performance Suspension Package?
This is the fuller build. The Street Performance package is the lighter-touch route into a better-handling Model X, while this High Performance set layers in the complete rear billet arm suite for maximum adjustment and control. Choose Street Performance if you want the core improvement at a lower cost, and this package if you want every alignment parameter in your hands and the strongest overall result.
Will upgrading my brakes void the Tesla warranty?
Tesla’s warranty covers factory-installed parts, but it does not automatically void your warranty if you install aftermarket components like Unplugged Performance brake kits. Under U.S. law (Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act), Tesla must prove that an aftermarket part caused a failure in order to deny warranty coverage. Our parts are engineered to work harmoniously with Tesla OEM Brake systems and can be professionally installed by Unplugged Performance in Hawthorne, CA or by an authorized installer to minimize risk. That said, any damage directly caused by misuse or improper installation may not be covered. We recommend retaining all factory parts so you can revert to stock if needed. Many Tesla owners enjoy peace of mind by using Unplugged Performance products, which are extensively tested and installed by certified professionals. If warranty concerns are top-of-mind, our team can help clarify compatibility and installation best practices to ensure a worry-free experience.
What does the Unplugged Performance product warranty cover?
Unplugged Performance offers a comprehensive warranty on all parts and installations performed by our certified technicians. Warranty coverage applies to defects in materials and workmanship on items including lowering springs, coilovers, big brake kits, brake pads, stainless steel brake lines, shocks, and more. Should any covered part fail under normal use or display premature wear, we will repair or replace it at no additional cost—assuming the component was installed by us or at one of our authorized partners.
This warranty is valid for 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first, excluding consumable products like brake pads, rotors, and tires, starting from the installation date. Coverage extends to labor for warranty repairs when performed by Unplugged Performance or an authorized installer. It does not cover damage resulting from misuse, accidents, off‑road use, improper installation not done by us, or modifications that aren’t factory-approved.
To file a warranty claim, simply contact our service team. We’ll guide you through inspection, shipping (if needed), and repair or replacement logistics. transparencia and top-tier support are what you can expect from Unplugged.
Will installing Unplugged Performance parts void my Tesla warranty?
Installing aftermarket parts does not automatically void your Tesla warranty. Under the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act (www.sema.org/sema-enews/2011/01/ftc-validates-right-to-install-aftermarket-parts), a manufacturer cannot void your warranty simply because you installed aftermarket parts. Tesla must prove that the aftermarket part caused the specific failure in question to deny a warranty claim. UP recommends retaining all factory parts to allow reverting to stock if needed.
