Installled Secret EVPE Shims

[litespeed1000]

Today I Installed the anodized red EVPE shims on my new Model S Plaid with 21” Arachnid. I have a little over 800 miles on the car, the first two pictures are before and you can see about 1" of the tire is not making contact with the road. After installing (pictures3&4) and driving 20 miles you can now see the entire tire surface is now contacting the road and the tire is sitting much more flat.

The installation was pretty straight forward. As indicated in the directions only remove the two bolts indicated in the and loosen the other 4 enough to generate play. The first side took a little longer, but second side took 20 minutes removing and retorquing the wheel. I will schedule a alignment, but have to say the car drives straight and doesn't pull in either direction.

This could be the best $95 I have spent in some time. Apologize too wheels are dirty, not sure what is stuck to the one. will be getting a bath today.

I installed silvers on my car this past weekend and got it aligned today. I would recommend an alignment as my toe was out of spec (toe in) at the rear. Unfortunately, the reduction in negative camber was not 100% equal (didn't expect it to be). Other cars I've shimmed and/or used crash bolts in the past were similar. Still the rear is much improved over stock.

I wanted to post an update. Drove my Plaid Saturday and Sunday (May 4 &5) first time since installing the red shims. I can say no longer experience the first 1-2 miles of vibration. I still have not had a chance to have the Alignment checked, but I can say the car rides as it should have from the factory. Thumbs up to Secret EVPE Shims. I will give periodic updates as well.Again this has been my experience and all may not experience the same as mine.

If anyone knows a good alignment shop for Teslas in Northwest suburbs of Chicago feel free to add to the post. As menstioned in previous post car drives straight as an arrow even taking hands off the yoke.

Thanks in advance,
Scott
