Product Details
Meet the one-box handling upgrade that transforms how your Model 3 drives without compromising daily comfort. Stage 1 Essentials pairs our Randy Pobst–developed adjustable sway bars with UP Dual Rate Lowering Springs and billet adjustable rear camber arms. The result is a cohesive system that reduces roll, improves balance, and delivers the planted, confident feel you expect from a performance Tesla.
What is inside
- Adjustable front and rear sway bars for 2017 – 2023 & 2024+
Developed with pro driver Randy Pobst and proven on record-setting UP builds. Three quick settings at each axle let you tune balance to your roads and driving style. Polyurethane bushings are included for crisp response and long life.
Typical rates for reference:
Front 31.8 mm bar approx. 740 lbs/in soft, 890 lbs/in medium, 1075 lbs/in firm.
Rear 22.2 mm bar approx. 114 lbs/in soft, 130 lbs/in medium, 150 lbs/in firm. - Dual Rate Lowering Springs
Two precisely engineered linear rates in each spring deliver comfort in primary ride and increased support when you push. Choose your stance: Mild drop about 0.7 in, Moderate about 1.5 in, Low about 2.0 in, or Super Performance with a 1.5 in drop and firmer calibration. Lower ride height reduces drag, and our aero study measured up to an 8.1 percent reduction in total vehicle drag on a Moderate setup. - Billet Adjustable Rear Camber Arms
CNC 6061-T6 arms with sealed OEM-grade bearings maintain alignment under load and stay quiet on the street. Preset to factory length out of the box for an easy baseline, then adjust to dial in tire wear and add grip. Corrects rear camber on lowered cars and gives enthusiasts the range needed for performance alignment targets.
Why Stage 1 works
- Less roll, more grip: stiffer, adjustable bars keep the platform flat so the tires work evenly.
- Predictable balance: front and rear bars are sized to work together, so you can fine-tune understeer and oversteer.
- Comfort when cruising, control when cornering: dual-rate springs ride smoother in everyday use, then transition to the higher rate during cornering, braking, and quick transitions.
- Tires that last: billet camber arms let you bring rear camber back toward factory on lowered cars to avoid inside edge wear, or add negative camber for track days.
Fitment
- Compatible with all Tesla Model 3 trims and years: 2017–2023 and 2024+ RWD, AWD, Long Range, Performance, and Standard Range.
Real results and backing
- Developed with Randy Pobst and validated on street and track, including Buttonwillow and Tsukuba time-attack programs.
- 30-day money-back satisfaction guarantee on UP suspension products.
Who it is for
Daily drivers who want a calmer, more composed ride on imperfect roads. Enthusiasts who want sharper response, shorter transient times, and alignment control. Owners who want the best cost-to-benefit suspension upgrade to unlock the chassis without sacrificing livability.
Recommended setup guidance
- Start bars at medium front and soft rear for neutral street balance.
- Choose Moderate springs for the best blend of stance, comfort, and aero gains.
- After lowering, set rear camber near factory for tire life or increase slightly negative for spirited driving, with a matching alignment.
Stage 1 Essentials turns the Model 3 into the car you always knew it could be. Confident, precise, efficient, and ready for every mile.

Find an installer
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 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 (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.
