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...
