    Ohlins R&T Coilovers with Swift Springs!

    20-25mm drop is acceptable as that's what I currently run with the stock R&T spring rates. Im around 14.5 inches hub to fender I assume if I go this route, I reset the front to the default 245 mm shock length and adjust preload to get the correct ride height?

    Ohlins R&T Coilovers with Swift Springs!

    Does this mean you are running 7k 9 inch springs in the front and 11k 8 inch springs in the rear? Would a 9k 8 inch spring in the front and the stock Ohlins Rear 12k spring in the rear do well? I may switch to swift springs in a lower rate as well but not in a particular rush

    How many miles do you have on your kit? I have about ~15k miles and either the rear is worn in now or I'm used to the rear. Currently at 14/16 f/r

    Service center was no help, looking for advice on a knocking sound coming from my back right side seat.

    I also had a similar issue with the rear right passenger side seat. The issue goes away when I folded down the rear seat. But comes back when its upright. I had to stick a towel in the gap behind the hinged seat, folded it back upright, and it resolved it :) glad I wasn't the only one going...

    Vendor APEX VS-5RS & SM-10RS - The LIGHTEST Plug & Play Fully-Forged Wheels for Tesla - Authorized Dealer

    If you have the performance model, from my understanding the rotor hat is thinner so your wheels are actually 2-4mm inboard more than the LR/SR so you should be able to better fit the wheels under the fenders. That being said, I'm running it on an LR with somewhat regular camber, using stock...

    Big Brake Kit (BBK) offset question

    I believe #1 only adds +4 mm if you have the OEM P Front Rotors. I believe this is to deal with the P's weird step lip. Since you have a LR AWD, there shouldn't be a difference in offset. Vendor - GiroDisc 370mm Rotors for GM Brembo 6-Pot Calipers

    Effect of wider tires on range

    I do not have this issue :O I have a M3 LR though, which has the LR brake rotors which means I'm pushed outwards 3-5mm compared to M3P I believe.

    FS: Eibach Lowering Springs for Tesla Model 3 LR AWD (South Bay Area)

    A little firmer than stock from what I can remember. But I was on stock springs for less than 500 miles 😆. I would def not recommend if you are looking for something softer.

    Please share! I bought some some small mud flaps as well and put some pff under, but yours looks fine as well! Kinda sucks that I scrape a little going over speedbumps, but that just lets me know my car is low :) Photo tax:

    Pic of your Model 3.......RIGHT NOW! [model 3 pictures thread]

    Yup $839, 😅, but there was a $500 dollar discount because they had a groupbuy for the launch of their new forged wheels. It brought it down to around $2.8k total (before tax 😭) which was inline with the other option I was looking at, the Titan TS-5/Vossen HF-5. The Apex wheels were lighter so it...

    New Apex Race Parts Forged VS5RS Wheel

    I like it a lot :) the lighter weight + stickier/wider tires makes it a great combo. Can't tell if its placebo or not but it feels like its more complaint over bumps and generally more stable at speed Can't wait to take it up Highway 9 this July 4th week. Hopefully during one of the weekdays...

    Pic of your Model 3.......RIGHT NOW! [model 3 pictures thread]

    Only driven a little in the hills so far, but feels like there is way more grip and the additional width + lighter weight makes it a little more compliant over bumps. On the highway it feels more stable, getting up to speed to pass someone felt like I was doing 60 but I was actually doing 90...
