Do you have a link for the top hat? Been wanting to change..

I’ve noticed with two pairs of top hat (strut top mount) from 2023 that the rubber isolator in between the bearing and aluminum lid bend more than previous iterations. It affects the mounting point when the spring pushes against the top hat and changes the angle. As for most thump/clunk noises...

@ThePickyOne Be sure to remove the stabilizer links before jacking the front knuckle and rear spring arm to get desired ride height for torque purposes. The model 3 is 423mm from center of axle nut to middle of fender arch for the front and 378mm for the rear. Without removing said nut it is...

Nyloc nut may be loose Either that or front and rear sway bar links or top mounts were only hand tightened and not torqued to spec

Negligible difference between 1/2 and 3/5th. I’d go with the former. I have some 2023 front and rear springs (Performance) going for dirt cheap if you’re interested as well as 2022 Long Range. Both complete sets have less than 1k miles.

That 🤬 cray. Cheapest I’ve seen Facebook Marketplace people install suspension is $300-400 and shops are $600-700. At $1,000 for the EnduraPro’s is laughable as that’s way easier than Flex Z’s.

European SUV’s and stuff have 7-8” of travel for the rod to retract to suppress road noise. The Tesla has like 5”. There’s very little ‘free’ undistorted space before contact also the stop is non-linear so you’ll feel it throw the car into a frenzy even with the lightest bumps. Even with all...

From my 2023 Performance is Strut: 1044363-04-C Spring: 1044379-04-C Shock: 1044461-01-E Spring: 1044472-04-A I would say springs are slightly stiffer than 2022 Long Range I had previously. Overall better than the 2021 Performance I bought the car with.

Because it’s a small niche and they could value the handling more. If it gets popular enough theres a chance they could come out with variants that HAS to defer from Reber. It can’t be the same otherwise it would be intrusive on Reber’s earnings and the ‘bespoke’ customization they put efforts...

@Silverline Good looking out Looks like the Reber Edition with slightly softer springs (like grand touring) and more turning to the dampener to harmonize them. If we can get 8-10 people for a group buy, we may be able to reduce some fees. It doesn’t have to be one person being the head of the...

Someone should reach out to them. I’m willing to join a group buy.

The front bump stop is harder than the rear as that goes through the initial impact. I believe it use to be shorter than the rear but based off memory I reckon they were the same length (perhaps on years 2021+). Koni’s or Stock trim them the same amount as my previous photos have shown.

Half or 2/5th

There’s oil/gas inside the shocks that needs time to break in especially if they were left laying down horizontal. Hotter weather also warms them up and may affect viscosity for smoother actuation. I’m not sure if the 2019 Performance has any height differences compared to Long Range as I...

I advise trimming the stock dampers in half or 3/5 if you want to feel safe although it’s really not necessary. Even on terrible LA roads I’ve never once hit the bump stops after trimming even when one of my suspension bushings were broken throwing the car into a lopsided frenzy to compensate...

Because I live in an apartment without a designated parking spot or at least the spots my housemates are given in tandem has a major slope so it’s not as easy changing it myself and having to pay $300-400 for the install is no bueno. That’s already half the cost of the Koni shock absorbers...

Update: Turns out there was nothing wrong with the Koni Special Actives this entire time! My rear subframe had a broken bushing that connects to the spring arm: Broken Not Broken Despite going to multiple places for the following: 4 Complete Diagnostics 4 Suspension Changes 8 4-Wheel...

Has anyone had a bent Rear Subframe Bushing? This bushing connects the Rear Subframe to the Lower AFT Link that holds the Rear Springs: (Right Hand) Versus: (Left Hand) As you can see the Left Hand side is much closer and doesn’t bend with the same torque being applied. Seeing whether it’s...

Does anyone know the spring rate of E2 Springs that are used with Mid Range models? I believe @SLOspeed mentioned: E1D = 650 pounds/Inch (Standard RWD) E2 = ? pounds/Inch (Mid Range RWD) E3 DM = 720 pounds/Inch (Long Range AWD) E3 PDM = 720 pounds/Inch (Performance AWD) Tesla’s spring rates...

It could be different for you, but with my 2022 long range springs (E3 DM) the usable gap for the suspension to travel before hitting the bump stop looks as though I was using lowering springs.. These springs are equipped on a 2021 Model 3 Performance so your mileage may vary. I don’t think our...

@Silverline The guys at Reifen Reber looks like they know what they’re doing if they’re recommending Meyle Upper Control Arm, KW Dome Bearings, and softer Koni variant. I don’t know about their comfort springs though.. lowering by 40mm is a bit much for those who don’t care to have their car...

Sorry I forgot this was the Model Y section. They were installed on a Model 3 that had the stiff performance suspension (stock) that was switched for a 2022 stock long range suspension. I reused the springs from the long range variant for more suspension travel for the piston damper.

I switched from: • 2021 Model 3 Performance > 2022 Long Range > Koni Special Active (Suspension) • 20” Uberturbine with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S > 18” Aero V2 with Michelin Primacy MXM4 (Wheel/Tire) Results: Compression is slightly softer (~20%) while rebound is much faster (~50%) with...

I agree! It's hard to go wrong with either of them. One is made for pure comfort while the other is for performance/comfort. After careful consideration I've decided to go with OnAir + MPP Spring Arm + Retrofit Adapter for the sake of comfort. I will be visiting Las Vegas next month to buy the...

I'm grateful for the details. When I was addressing weight concerns I mean in terms of unsprung weight. The extra weight from the air suspension kit doesn't bother me since the car already weighs a ton, but apparently suspension wise the OnAir kit is said to be lighter than many coilover setups...

It looks like the adapter could add weight and end up being heavier than the OEM spring arms. Did you ever weigh the two? I ask because MPP's goal for these ams was to fit smaller and lighter linear springs to reduce unsprung weight. I was hoping there would be a lighter adapter that sat...

Would you mind sharing how you managed to get the air bag to fit the MPP Rear Spring Arm? I'm getting the MasoAir OnAir for the subtrunk and it seems their design is similar to AirLift Performance where the rear top mount is ~72mm while the bottom is ~96mm (Tesla's spring specification). The...

The rear brake callipers collide with the inside of the wheel by ~2mm whereas the front has ~1mm gap. Metal is known to expand when hot. Even if the brakes rarely gets used the wheel can still expand similarly like how PSI increases on a warmer day or with extended drives as it picks up heat...

Thanks everyone who chimed in! I had a mechanic install the new 2022 LR Stock Suspension because the suspension was starting to show signs of failure @ 50k miles. One of the dampers made the vehicle lean/zigzag while driving. I wanted to keep the Performance Springs for a lowered look but due...

Apparently the 2021 Model 3 is the only year where they lowered the car by 10mm via the use of different springs and dampers. After acquiring the vehicle I noticed that the 20" Uberturbine Wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (235/35ZR20) was too bumpy for LA roads Due to ride quality being a...
