2021+ Tesla Model X / Plaid – Sports Dynamic Air Suspension Upgrade (Lowering) Kit
$495.00
Our approach to lowering the 2021+ Tesla Model X / Model X Plaid is unique. The UP Sports Dynamic Air Suspension retains our exclusive unique approach to improving factory lowering on Tesla air suspension vehicles which have been proven by hundreds of customers around the world. We believe in extensive testing and fool-proof installation that leads to reliable function for the life of the vehicle. Each factory setting gets bumped down one level so you can enjoy the benefits of lowering without losing day-to-day practicality or intuitive functionality. Drive lower without putting your vehicle at risk.
⚠️Warning: May cause soft codes in some Model S and Model X vehicles due to software changes, vehicle differences, or installation error. Note: Some applications have reported an error code on the car’s display after installation. Due to Tesla’s factory software calibration variances, some vehicles may display a visual “Suspension may not be level” warning after installation. This does not impact drivability and is considered acceptable by many owners. However, if your vehicle produces an audible chime along with the warning, we recommend uninstalling and returning the product, as the condition may not self-resolve. There is no method to determine compatibility prior to installation.

Product Details
For those looking to lower the center of gravity for improved handling, lower the aerodynamic drag for improved range, or just make the car look sleeker and sexier, it’s time to get low. The 2021+ Tesla Model X Plaid and Model X come equipped with plush Bilstein dampers that adjust the stiffness of the suspension in real-time based on driving data. Having partnered with Bilstein to develop our Pikes Peak class-winning Model S Plaid race car, we know this suspension inside and out. And now, it was turn to release the same tech for the 2021+ Model X Plaid and Model X as well.

Will lowering my Model X void the Tesla warranty?
Fitting a lowering kit does not automatically void factory coverage. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act means Tesla has to show that the kit caused a specific failure before denying that claim, not simply point at its presence. We suggest keeping your original hardware so you can return to stock if you ever want to. Note the soft-code warning above is a known behavior, not a defect.
Does this fit the Model X Plaid as well as the standard Model X?
It fits the 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid, both of which use the same Bilstein-damped air suspension. We developed our understanding of this system partnering with Bilstein on our Pikes Peak class-winning Model S Plaid race car, then brought the same approach to the Model X. One kit covers both trims.
I have heard these can trigger a suspension warning. Is that true?
On some cars, yes, and we state it plainly. Because of Tesla’s factory software calibration variances, certain vehicles show a visual ‘Suspension may not be level’ message after install. That visual warning does not affect drivability and many owners accept it. If your car also produces an audible chime with the warning, we recommend uninstalling and returning the kit, since that condition may not resolve on its own. There is no way to know in advance which cars are affected.
Are the factory Bilstein dampers still doing their job after this?
Yes. This kit adjusts ride height, not damping. The 2021+ Model X comes with Bilstein dampers that vary stiffness in real time based on driving data, and that behavior carries on unchanged. You are lowering where the car sits, not replacing the shocks. That is a big part of why the everyday ride stays intact.
Is fitting the lowering kit a garage job or a shop job?
Because it works through brackets rather than a full strut swap, a capable home installer can manage it. If you are near Los Angeles, our Hawthorne team can fit it and confirm the result; request a quote on the page. Lowering also shifts geometry, so many owners add the adjustable front control arms to correct camber. It currently ships on backorder, so order to secure the next delivery.
