Product Details

For those looking to improve handling and add style, lowering the car’s center of gravity is the way to go. We offer our plug-and-play Sports Dynamic Air Suspension Upgrade Kit for those looking to quickly and easily lower the overall height of their Tesla Model S. We’ve engineered this from the ground up as a uniquely tailored solution for the Model S, with multiple years of driving experience on streets and race tracks. * Unlike other products on the market, this product does not change out links with generic threaded lowering links.

Specifications:

  • Preset Setting – Prevents incorrect installation and provides consistent heights
  • Two Fixed Settings – Lowered and OEM-like for easily returning back to a factory-like orientation, if needed
  • Each factory height setting works as normal with each height being lower than before (think of it as every setting is one step lower, so Standard becomes Low, Low becomes Very Low and so on)
  • Retains use of all 4 OEM suspension settings – Very High, High, Standard and Low
  • Easy Installation – Brackets are completely plug-and-play, so installation only takes about 30 minutes
  • Produced in 5000-series aluminum and anodized for corrosion-resistance

Sports Dynamic Air Suspension Upgrade (Lowering) Kit for Tesla Model S (2012-2020)

PLEASE NOTE: For use with Model S vehicles factory-equipped with air suspension only. To install on your Model S, you must have the 21″ wheel / tire calibration (if your vehicle was factory equipped with the 21″ Turbine wheels, this is by default). For vehicles that were originally equipped with wheels other than the factory 21″ Turbine option, the factory firmware can be recalibrated by a Tesla Service Center upon request. You are not required to utilize 21″ wheels with this product, but regardless of wheel / tire choice, the 21″ firmware calibration is required.
Compatible 2012-2020 Model S vehicles.  Very early 2012/2013 cars may require some additional modification or adjustment for very early Model S air suspension variants we recommend installation at Unplugged Performance only.

Testimonials:

      Frequently Asked Questions - F.A.Q.
      Everything you need to know about this product before you buy.

      Is the Sports Dynamic Air Suspension lowering kit for the 2012-2020 Model S still available?

      No. This kit has been discontinued and is no longer available. It was our plug-and-play lowering solution for the 2012-2020 Model S on factory air suspension, using preset brackets rather than generic threaded links. If you have a 2021 or newer Model S, the current Sports Dynamic Air Suspension Lowering Kit for the 2021-2026+ car is the product to look at instead.

      What did this kit do for the older Model S?

      It lowered a 2012-2020 Model S with factory air suspension by shifting each height setting down one step, so Standard became Low, Low became Very Low, and so on, while retaining all four OEM settings of Very High, High, Standard, and Low. The brackets were plug-and-play with about a 30-minute install, produced in 5000-series aluminum and anodized for corrosion resistance. It gave a lower center of gravity for better handling and cleaner looks.

      I have a 2021+ Model S. What lowering option should I buy now?

      Get the current Sports Dynamic Air Suspension Lowering Kit for the 2021-2026+ Model S and Model S Plaid. It applies the same preset-bracket approach to the newer air suspension, keeps all the OEM height modes plus Track Mode, and retains the Bilstein active damping. It installs in about 30 minutes and is fully reversible, so it is the direct successor to this discontinued kit for later cars.

      My 2012-2020 Model S bushings are worn and noisy. What can I still buy?

      Look at the Front Lower Compliance Fore and Lateral Aft Arms with Spherical Bushings, which fit the Model S all the way from 2012 through 2026+. They replace the worn factory rubber bushings that cause knocking, creaking, and steering slop on older cars, with sealed spherical bushings pre-installed for an easy swap. That is the active, in-production upgrade for tightening up an early Model S front end.

      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. 

      How can I find a dealer or authorized installer near me?

      To find authorized installers or retailers of Unplugged Performance products in your area, please use the form on our website to provide your location details. This will help us connect you with an authorized installer nearby. You can find the form here.

      What are the shipping options and times?

      Unplugged Performance processes orders quickly, typically within 1–2 business days after placement. For U.S. customers, orders under $50 usually ship via FedEx SmartPost with an estimated delivery time of 2–7 business days. Larger items like body kits or bumpers may ship via freight carriers with curbside delivery; customers will be contacted to schedule a delivery window. International shipping is available to most countries, with shipping costs calculated at checkout. Delivery times abroad vary, generally ranging from 5 to 16 business days depending on destination. Import duties or taxes are the customer’s responsibility. To ensure a smooth shipping experience, provide accurate contact information during checkout. For specific questions or shipping quotes, Unplugged Performance’s support team is available to assist.
