Tesla Model S Plaid / Model S – Sports Dynamic Air Suspension Lowering Kit (2021 – 2026+)
$495.00
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 Tesla Model S Plaid / Model S comes 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.
Our approach to lowering 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.

Tesla Model S Plaid / Model S – Sports Dynamic Air Suspension Lowering Kit (2021 – 2026+) Specifications:
- Preset Setting – Prevents incorrect installation and provides consistent heights. No trial and error. No potential for damage.
- 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, and so on, so your vehicle heights will be predictable and within the Model S’ designed parameters.
- Retains use of all 4 OEM suspension settings – Very High, High, Medium, and Low, as well as Track Mode
- Retains full function of Bilstein Active suspension damping with in-car controls
- Easy Installation – Brackets are completely plug-and-play, so installation only takes about 30 minutes
- Fully reversible – no cutting or modification required. Swap back your factory brackets in the same 30 minutes without leaving a trace.
- Produced in 5000-series aluminum and anodized for corrosion resistance.
- Unlike other products on the market, this product does not change out links with generic threaded lowering links nor does it require any permanent modification to the vehicle.
- Note: Some applications have reported an error code on the car’s display

Does this Model S lowering kit keep the air ride and Track Mode working?
Yes. It retains full use of the Very High, High, Medium, and Low settings, Track Mode, and the Bilstein active suspension with its in-car adjustment. That is the whole design goal: lower the car without giving up the everyday practicality of raising it for driveways or steep ramps. Because it is a bracket, not a link swap, the factory logic still sees normal travel and behaves as intended.
Will this fit a 2021 Model S, and does it work on Model X too?
It fits the 2021 through 2026+ Model S and Model S Plaid equipped with factory air suspension. The warning on the product page notes it can also touch Model S and Model X vehicles, since Tesla’s air platform is shared, but this listing is sold for the Model S. Confirm your car has factory air suspension before ordering, because the kit only works on air-equipped cars.
Could this trigger a suspension warning on my Model S?
It can on some cars. Because of Tesla’s factory software calibration variances, a few 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 instead sounds 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.
How long does it take to install, and can it be reversed?
The brackets are plug-and-play and installation takes about 30 minutes. It is fully reversible with no cutting or modification, so you can bolt your factory brackets back on in the same half hour and leave no trace. That makes it easy to try, and easy to undo before a service visit or sale. Owners near Los Angeles can have our Hawthorne team fit it if they would rather not do it themselves.
Will these lowering brackets void my Tesla warranty?
The brackets alone do not automatically void your Tesla warranty under Magnuson-Moss, which requires Tesla to tie a specific failure to the part before denying a claim. The kit is fully reversible, so keeping your factory brackets lets you return to stock at any time. Note the separate software point above: a visual leveling message is cosmetic, but an audible chime is our cue to uninstall and return the product.
