Product Details
Engineered to Tame 1,020 Horsepower: The Unplugged Performance High-Performance Suspension Package
The Tesla Model S Plaid is one of the fastest-accelerating production cars ever built. With 1,020 horsepower and 0–60 mph in under two seconds, it delivers straight-line performance that embarrasses seven-figure hypercars. But raw power is only half of the equation. From the factory, the Model S Plaid was engineered as a luxury grand tourer first and a performance car second — and that compromise becomes obvious the moment you ask it to change direction, brake hard, or hold a line through a fast sweeper. Our High-Performance Suspension Package was built to close that gap and finally let the chassis live up to the drivetrain.
The Challenge with the Model S Plaid
The stock Model S is a heavy vehicle, and much of that mass sits low thanks to the battery pack — a genuine advantage that Tesla’s engineers never fully exploited. The factory air suspension prioritizes ride comfort and a soft, isolated feel. Under aggressive driving, that translates into noticeable body roll, a high center of gravity relative to what the platform is capable of, vague turn-in, and rear-end squat under the Plaid’s violent acceleration. The soft factory bushings and stamped-steel control arms flex under load, allowing alignment geometry to wander exactly when you need it to stay planted. The result is a car that feels reluctant and floaty when driven hard, masking the enormous grip the tires and low battery mass could otherwise provide. Drivers describe understeer, unpredictable weight transfer, and a disconnected steering feel that undermines confidence at speed.
A Complete, Integrated Solution — Not a Band-Aid
Rather than treating one symptom, this package re-engineers the entire suspension system as a matched set. It starts with the UP Sports Dynamic Air Suspension Lowering Kit, which lowers the center of gravity and sharpens the ride height without sacrificing the convenience and adjustability of the factory air system. From there, every critical link is replaced with precision billet aluminum arms: the Front Upper Control Arm Set (Ultimate Edition FUCA), Rear Trailing Arm Set, Rear Traction Arm Set, adjustable Rear Camber Arm Set, Rear Lower Arm Set, and adjustable Rear Toe Arm Set. These replace flex-prone factory components with rigid, motorsport-grade hardware and spherical or high-durometer bushings that hold your alignment settings under the highest cornering and braking loads. A dedicated UP Rear Sway Bar ties it all together, dramatically reducing body roll and letting you dial in the exact handling balance you want — from stable and neutral to eager and rotational.
The payoff is transformative. Cornering grip, stability, and control are dramatically enhanced while body roll and effective center of gravity drop. Turn-in becomes crisp and immediate, mid-corner composure inspires confidence, and the car finally puts its 1,020 horsepower down with the traction and predictability the platform always deserved.
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 informed by hard-won motorsport experience. Our team campaigned Tesla vehicles at the legendary Pikes Peak International Hill Climb — 12.42 miles and 156 corners climbing to over 14,000 feet — where suspension geometry, rigidity, and thermal endurance are punished like nowhere else on Earth. That same development program spawned our UP x Öhlins 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 carve canyon roads, chase lap times at your local circuit, or simply want your daily driver to feel connected and alive, 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 is also available individually, but purchased together as a complete system they unlock the full potential of your Model S Plaid.
Stop letting the chassis hold back the drivetrain. Give your Model S Plaid the suspension it was always meant to have.

Does this package fit a standard Model S or only the Plaid?
It fits both the 2021 through 2026+ Model S and the Model S Plaid. The parts share the platform, so a Long Range car benefits from the same lowering and adjustable geometry as the Plaid. At checkout you choose your sway bar configuration, front and rear set, front only, or rear only. The rest of the package is common to both variants across that model-year range.
How does the sway bar selection work in this package?
You pick one of three sway bar options: the front and rear set, the front bar only, or the rear bar only. The rear bar suits nearly every Model S owner and livens up the back of the car. The front bar is a deeper install aimed at owners who track the car, so choose based on how hard you drive. The rest of the package stays the same regardless of which you pick.
Why upgrade the whole suspension on a car that already has 1,020hp?
Because power without chassis control is wasted. The stock Plaid puts down enormous grip and weight, and the factory rubber bushings and soft geometry were not built to exploit that at the limit. This package reduces body roll, drops the center of gravity, and replaces the compliant rear links with billet arms and spherical bushings, so the car finally uses its power through a corner instead of just in a straight line.
Who should install a package this comprehensive?
This is a big job that touches nearly the entire suspension, so professional installation is the sensible route. Our team in Hawthorne can install the whole package and align it, and any independent performance or alignment shop comfortable with Tesla vehicles can do it too. A full corner-balanced alignment at the end is essential, since you have changed ride height along with camber and toe capability all at once.
How does this compare to the Öhlins coilover route?
This package keeps the factory Bilstein air suspension and improves it, so you keep the adjustable air ride and self-leveling while gaining lowering plus the adjustable arms and sway bar. The Öhlins TTX coilovers instead replace the air suspension with a full race coilover for maximum track adjustability. Pick this package for a dramatically better street and canyon car that stays practical; pick the coilovers when repeatable race tuning is the goal.
Will lowering in this package hurt daily comfort or range?
The lowering piece bumps each factory air setting down one level, so you keep all the OEM height modes and Bilstein active damping while sitting lower. A lower stance trims aerodynamic drag, which can help highway efficiency, and the billet arms with sealed spherical bushings actually reduce the vague, noisy feel worn rubber creates. You get a sharper car that still behaves on a normal commute.
Do I still need the front lower arms if I buy this package?
Possibly. This package covers the FUCA up top and the full rear arm suite, but the front lower compliance fore and lateral aft arms are a separate upgrade, offered as recommended add-ons at $995.00 and $1,195.00. If your front lower bushings are worn or you want the front end fully spherical, add them. Many owners running the complete package do exactly that for a top-to-bottom refresh.
Does installing this package void my Tesla warranty?
A full aftermarket suspension does not automatically void your Tesla warranty. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, Tesla must prove a specific failure was caused by the parts to deny that claim, rather than voiding coverage for the modification itself. Keep your removed factory components so you can return to stock if you choose. Our team can walk you through which parts to retain before install.
What is included in the High Performance Suspension Package?
Eight upgrades in one package: the Sports Dynamic Air Suspension Lowering Kit, the Front Upper Control Arm Set (FUCA), and the full rear suite of billet arms, the trailing arm, traction arm, adjustable camber arm, lower arm, and adjustable toe arm, plus the adjustable sway bar. It is built to give real control over the 1,020hp the Plaid makes, reducing body roll and lowering the center of gravity while sharpening grip and stability.
Can I buy these suspension parts individually instead of the whole package?
Yes. Every component in this package is sold on its own, so you can build up over time. The package exists because these parts were engineered to work as a system, and buying them together gets you the complete transformation in one go. If you would rather start smaller, the lowering kit and adjustable sway bar are the two most-felt pieces to begin with, then add the arms.
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.
