After lowering my car, the stock end links kept making this clunking noise, but I installed these and it made the noise go away. The end links also made the car feel a bit more comfortable, but cornering still felt great.

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.

I always hated how my Model Y would sway side to side at high speed on the highway when the road conditions were poor, even with the coil overs I wanted a little more stiffness and this fixed the problem, now it feels more like a Porsche/BMW M.

I really like this rear sway bar on my 2021 Model S Plaid. On the street it tightens up the car a lot. The car corners "flatter" and "feels" like the car has more grip and inspires confidence. I installed this in my driveway with the rear up on jack stands. It wasn't hard at all. I opted for...
