Tesla Model S Plaid / Model S – Sports Dynamic Air Suspension Lowering Kit (2021 – 2026+)

Instead of swapping in generic threaded links, this kit uses preset brackets that shift each factory air setting down one level. Standard becomes Low, and so on down the range, so every height stays predictable and inside the parameters Tesla designed. You keep all four OEM height modes, Very High through Low, plus Track Mode, and the Bilstein active damping keeps working with the in-car controls. The car just sits lower at every setting.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The brackets are produced in 5000-series aluminum and anodized for corrosion resistance, which matters because these parts live in the wheel wells exposed to road spray and salt. The preset design also prevents incorrect installation, so you get consistent heights with no trial and error and no risk of setting one corner wrong. It is a simple part built to survive where it sits.

Brackets are the more foolproof choice here. Generic threaded links require dialing in each corner and invite installation error, while these preset brackets drop every factory setting one predictable step and need no permanent modification to the car. This kit specifically does not swap your links for generic threaded ones. If you want fully adjustable, mechanical ride height instead, that is the territory of a race coilover, not a bracket.

Lowering the center of gravity sharpens handling by reducing weight transfer in corners, and cutting ride height trims aerodynamic drag, which can help range at highway speed. That combination, better cornering plus lower drag, is exactly why owners lower these cars beyond just the look. The gains are modest but real, and this kit is also the lowering piece inside our full high performance suspension package if you want to go further.

It moves each factory height down one step rather than quoting a single fixed drop, so the exact figure depends on which OEM setting you use. Standard sits where Low used to, and the whole range shifts down together while staying within Tesla’s designed limits. Because the settings stay predictable, you can still raise the car to clear obstacles when you need to and drop it back for daily driving.

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.

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.

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.

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.
