I will ... soon. LOLThanks for a great review. Has anyone tried to match these with Eibach springs?

Not a fan of the Eibach. Both my 2023 7 Seater Long Range and My buddy’s 2023 5 Seater Long Range experienced a slight reverse rake with the Eibach springs. I swapped my Eibach for H&R. My buddy kept his Eibach which still has the reverse rake to this day. It’s been about 6 months. Very happy with the H&R.I will ... soon. LOL
I spoke to one of the employees at Eibach (didn't ask for his position). He told me that Tesla has the lower rake in the front compared to the rear. So with Eibach springs, they will help a bit to even out the rake between the front and rear, hence 1.1" Front and 1.5" Rear.Not a fan of the Eibach.

Just letting you know from personal experience for me and my buddy. Slight reverse rake is still there to this day for him.

They've been in the market for many years. They know something that I don't.
What would the reverse rake do to a car?Just letting you know from personal experience for me and my buddy. Slight reverse rake is still there to this day for him. Luck of the draw I guess
Check out some of the YouTube videos from zevcentric who mentions the same about Eibach springs for the Y
It’s very minimal but it’s there. Car ends up slightly higher in front that back. Should be meaningless performance impact for average daily driver. Just depends if it’ll visually bug you. It was about 1 cm bigger wheel gap in front than rear.What would the reverse rake do to a car?
I know Zencentric, I bought the TEIN Endura Pro Plus and the N2itive from him on Sunday.
I got the n2itive camber arms from Zevcentric too! Waiting for delivery. My Tein + H&R Springs resulted in Camber wear for the rear tires.What would the reverse rake do to a car?

Yeah. It was on sale for the Black Friday thing. I just booked an appointment with a local shop in California for the installation on Friday. Hopefully they will get here on time for me.I got the n2itive camber arms from Zevcentric too! Waiting for delivery. My Tein + H&R Springs resulted in Camber wear for the rear tires.
Hi Dyhppy, did you end up testing the 12/12 setting?I love my current setting of 10 front 10 rear but thinking of trying even softer to see if I'll lose any handling. 12/12 maybe. If anyone has any experience on a model 3 I'd greatly appreciate it.
Hey @yfor01 - I've done it on mine and can confirm it was a bit too floaty. Originally went from 10F/12R and could feel the difference in handling not being as responsive. Went back and felt like that's the good medium.Hi Dyhppy, did you end up testing the 12/12 setting?
Sorry I didn't check the thread. I changed to 12/12 and really like it. I can see some people say it's floaty but with socal roads I'm even thinking of going softer. The car still handles really well. I have no complaints about that. I'm sure the car would put in a faster autox time if I went stiffer but in the real world I'm enjoying it. I recently drove a friend's car with stock suspension. Good God it was more terrible than I remember. Everyone ought to get these shocks. Seriously.Hi Dyhppy, did you end up testing the 12/12 setting?
Can we still adjust after the kit installed?Sorry I didn't check the thread. I changed to 12/12 and really like it.

Don’t know the first answer but to your second question: short answer, no.Two questions...
Who makes the stock Tesla shocks?
Could you get similar ride softening by just adjusting your tire pressures?
For Q1: Bilstein was mentioned in this forum back in 2021.Two questions...

Definitely. I already did once.Can we still adjust after the kit installed?
That's good to know. Thank you.Definitely. I already did once.
I have the same setup.I have the Tein Endura pro plus with Eibach springs. The reverse rake on the Eibach isn’t as bad as everyone makes it out to as seen in attached photo. I have the Teins installed for almost a month now, it has gotten rid of 40-50% of the harshness from the stock struts. I would highly recommend this to anyone who’s looking for a more comfy ride.
