Engineered for Real-World Driving: Comfort, Control, and Efficiency in One Spring

Unplugged Performance Dual Rate Lowering Springs are the result of extensive R&D tailored specifically for the Tesla Model 3. These aren't off-the-shelf springs — they’re the product of countless hours of engineering, real-world testing, and collaboration with top-tier spring manufacturers, Swift Springs.

Each version is precisely calibrated with two linear spring rates:

Our Dual Rate Lowering Springs for Tesla Model 3 feature an unique, advanced "Dual-Rate" spring technology, which combines two spring rates for the optimal comfort and performance in a variety of driving conditions.

Pictured at left is a diagram showing the two individual sections of the spring. The lower section denotes the primary rate [blue], and the upper section [red] denotes the secondary rate. During more intensive use (turning, cornering, etc.), the primary spring rate compresses to its maximum point, which effectively converts it into a lower spring perch, allowing the secondary rate to take over.

Dual rate lowering spring set

Secondary Rate engages during spirited driving, providing the increased stiffness needed for sharper handling and improved cornering grip.

Primary Rate offers a smoother, more compliant ride during daily driving.

2017 – 2024+ Model 3 (All TRIMS)

The graph below provides a visual representation of the different spring versions and where their respective primary and secondary spring rates lie in relation to the OEM springs included on the car from the factory (used as the baseline).

WHY CHOOSE OUR DUAL RATE LINEAR LOWERING SPRINGS?

One Size Doesn’t Fit All — That’s Why We Didn’t Settle for One Rate. From the beginning, our mission was to enhance both comfort and performance — two qualities often at odds in traditional suspension tuning. We developed different spring options (Mild, Moderate, Low, and Super Performance) to suit different Model 3 variants and driver preferences. The result: a more refined daily drive that still delivers when the road demands performance.

Here’s What Our R&D Delivered

better comfort

Better Comfort: By analyzing factory spring rates, we engineered softer but balanced rates for everyday driving without sacrificing control.

Sharper Handling

A secondary spring rate activates under load — like when cornering — giving you sportier response only when you want it.

Increased Range

Lowering your Model 3 improves aerodynamics, helping reduce drag and boost efficiency.

A Comprehensive Aerodynamic Study:

After installation of the Moderate Version of our Dual Rate Linear Lowering Springs (1.5″ lower ride height), a decrease of 8.1% in total vehicle drag resulted, with a reduction of the total vehicle drag coefficient by 0.019 (factory ride height = 28.5″ baseline, measured at the center of the front fender).

Dial In Your Drive: Choose the Ride Height That Fits Your Life

Experience up to 30% softer ride quality during daily driving — without sacrificing performance when it counts. Unplugged Performance Dual Rate Linear Springs use two precisely engineered spring rates: a primary rate for comfort over uneven roads, and a secondary rate that activates during spirited driving for enhanced grip, reduced body roll, and sharper handling.

Unlike single-rate or progressive springs, our dual linear design delivers predictable, confidence-inspiring performance with a level of comfort not possible from traditional setups. It’s the best of both worlds — made possible by advanced engineering and real-world testing.

The Real Question Now Is What Stance Are You Choosing?

Mild. Moderate. Super Performance. Low. Four ways to transform your ride — all engineered for better comfort, handling, and range.

FACTORY STOCK (0" DROP)

Factory suspension height — unchanged ride height, no modifications.

MILD (0.7" DROP)

Clean, refined look with a slight aerodynamic improvement and softer ride quality over stock.

Moderate (1.5” Drop)

FAQ

Is this a linear or a progressive spring?

Neither. It is a third category. The dual rate nature of this product is a direct descendant to motorsports “stacked’ spring setups. A stacked spring is two linear springs of differing spring rates and lengths that are stacked together with a predetermined location for a transition point between spring rates. This strategy employed on high end motorsports suspensions provides predictable results yet allows advanced tuning of handling characteristics by using two independent linear spring rates. The dual rate spring we offer is of equivalent concept. It employs two specifically engineered linear spring rates with a specifically located transition point between the two rates. Therefore, it is more linear spring than progressive spring in nature, yet is a third category.

What are the drops compared to my stock Tesla Model 3?

Our Dual Rate Lowering Springs offer the following drops: 2017 - 2024+ Model 3 (All Models)* Mild: .7" Drop Moderate: 1.5" Drop Low: 2" Drop *Slight variances in drop depending on vehicle production variables

Will Tesla warranty non-Tesla parts such as these springs?

We warranty our spring kit with our lifetime product warranty. Tesla’s warranty covers their products but Tesla does not keep inventory or purchase non Tesla products for warranty repair, they only warranty what they manufacture.

Will Tesla void my warranty if I install aftermarket parts?

A vehicle’s comprehensive warranty as a whole may not be voided due to use of aftermarket parts per the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act (https://www.sema.org/sema-enews/2011/01/ftc-validates-right-to-install-aftermarket-parts). However, a manufacturer may require a customer to pay for parts and labor for a repair if there is direct causation between a customer’s alteration and the product or service repair being requested. It is in both manufacturer and customer’s interest to follow logic and reason so that the system of good faith is not abused. If this topic interests you please read the law as well as your warranty documentation. Ultimately we are Tesla owners and enthusiasts, we are not lawyers and cannot provide legal advice.

Will the longevity of my shocks be impacted by lowering the car?

Shock life on a vehicle depends on many variables such as driving prolonged periods of time on unpaved surfaces in rural routes, high performance driving on winding roads, motorsports use, and/or other high impact situations. It has been reported at times that extreme lowering of a vehicle can in instances shorten the life cycle of shocks for example. If you research online you may see examples of extreme cases in which a car was lowered well outside of the safe operating range of the shock valving, and doing so can lead to excessive wear. In those extreme cases, when driving a vehicle that is too low and operating outside of the shock’s range, it can be typically felt with noticeable degradation of ride quality resulting in rough and bouncy driving. Our product does not fall into such an extreme and this particular topic has shades of gray in between the extremes. There is ultimately no definitive formula in determining how much or how little wear a shock will incur over time because shock wear encompasses many use factors, height being one of them. Out of an abundance of caution, we encourage that precaution is taken with regards to the possibility of more frequent purchasing or rebuilding of shocks or related components in correlation with driving style and lowering. This topic is largely similar to the understanding that when driving aggressively tires will wear faster and tire costs may increase as a result of more aggressive driving. Ultimately if this is of concern then lowering your car may not be the right choice for you.

What happens to alignment when a car is lowered?

Every vehicle’s alignment correlates to ride height and adjusts freely as height changes. For example, if you ask any Model S or Model X owner with air suspension, they will tell you that they love how the car looks and performs when driving on the lower range of settings. They will also often advise that they experience some additional tire wear from negative camber. What they are experiencing is that the car is aligned at a fixed height, and when air suspension lowers the car lowers and the alignment changes relative to height. A lower height typically results in more negative camber which can both increase handling and decrease tire lifespan. Getting a car re-aligned allows each owner options for setting an adjustable alignment characteristics. This enables you to to inform your alignment shop as to whether you would like alignment to be more aggressive (trading tire wear for handling) or more economical (trading off maximum grip for better tire wear). Please note that while alignment shops can adjust these settings to your tastes, there is a limitation on the ranges of adjustment.

What happens when my car has passengers in the rear, or a full trunk? Is rear height negatively impacted?

The benefit of dual rate linear springs is that there are two discrete spring rates. As a result, we were able to design a firmer secondary rate that is stiff enough to prevent excessive sagging when extra weight is applied.

Will lowering my car reduce my ground clearance and what happens if I scrape my car?

Yes, your ground clearance will be adjusted by equivalent lowering value of the lowering spring you select. We address this question in greater depth above within the subject “which version should I get?”. Cars of factory height and of all shapes and sizes unfortunately sometimes encounter situations in which they scrape and/or incur damage. In such cases the cost of that damage is the responsibility of the driver and not of the vehicle or aftermarket part manufacturer. When choosing to lower your vehicle, we encourage you to be aware that you are reducing ground clearance and therefore increasing your chances of impact. Drivers of previously low cars tend to understand this inherently, however if this topic is new to you please take consideration of all facts before making your decision.

I'm thinking of upgrading my wheels / tires in addition to springs, is there anything I should know?

For any car, tire sizing is a very important topic; specifically, maintaining the correct ratio of width and diameter when replacing / upgrading tires. Model 3 is available from Tesla with several wheel options, in three different diameters. Despite the different sizes, the overall tire size ratio is almost identical, and as it can affect the height of the car, this ratio plays a role in how your Model 3 will look post-spring installation. We’ve seen several owners install tires which have significantly different overall diameters than suggested, which causes the vehicle to either sit higher or lower than the height for which our springs are intended. When choosing tires, we strongly recommend keeping within the very precise margin for overall diameter as spec’d from Tesla. For more information, please refer to our wheel and tire sizing guide here: https://unpluggedperformance.com/tesla-wheel-and-tire-guide

Everything you need to know about this product before you buy.

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.

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.
