    Tein EnduraPro Plus adjustable shock absorbers fitted

    Of course I felt the difference, it was like night and day. You get a 100% increase in comfort, bumps are absorbed much better. Have not run into any issues, would highly recommend. I ran the Endurapro plus with stock 2023 springs for 6 months, the price has dropped from $600 to $515 so it’s...

    Help adjusting coilovers

    Ok friends, I been adjusting these coilovers like crazy. The perch heights are all over the charts. The front 131.5mm and 115.1mm, the rear 40mm and 44.4mm. Compressing the spring is super annoying to adjust the fronts, I kept breaking the plastic tabs trying to adjust in place, I found that...

    Ugh, I broke a few more collar tabs. So decided to try a much easier way to adjust them. You need to remove the sway bar bolt, upper control arm ball joint, and 3 top hat bolts. Basically remove everything except the bottom shock bolt, keep this in place to keep the shock body base from...

    Help adjusting coilovers

    What tool do you use to measure distance between floor and battery pack? I can’t use a caliper down there, or a solid ruler. I suppose I could use a tape measure, but would have to bend it when it hits the battery pack and I wouldn’t get a very accurate reading.

    Help adjusting coilovers

    The rears are easy, but time consuming to adjust as I have to remove the strut and spring to adjust the collar with absolutely zero resistance. The Fronts are difficult but quick to adjust because I just have to remove a wheel to adjust the collar in-place, however that collar is frikkin hard to...

    Help adjusting coilovers

    The numbers don’t make sense. For example, here is my latest adjustment for the passenger front height: Passenger front movement: -2.7mm This single 2.7mm drop caused odd affects to the other 3 corners: driver front: -3.2mm Passenger rear: -4.1mm Driver rear: +.9mm As you can see, the drop in...

    Help adjusting coilovers

    Hi friends, I installed ST XA coilovers 2 weeks ago. I’ve been trying to make all 4 corners even with a 1.5” drop or at least make the fronts even and backs even, but the task seems impossible. Whenever I raise or lower one wheel, the other 3 wheels will raise or lower an unpredictable amount...

    Oh cool, I’ll probably buy a new set of perches if I end up breaking too many tabs. I assume with time, the plastic will get more softer or more brittle and become even easier to break. I am making adjustments with the wheel off and unloaded. I don’t think it’s possible to adjust while the...

    So these plastic adjustment collars are pretty weak, I broke 2 corner pieces on the front drivers side. If you don’t hold it in the perfect position, the metal C-tool will slip and break off a corner. Eventually I’ll break all corners and will have to compress the spring in order to adjust...

    Tein EnduraPro Plus adjustable shock absorbers fitted

    Yeah front is easy to access, I found the easiest way to access the rear is to unbolt the two 15mm bolts holding the top hat to the chassis, then compress the shock down twist a little and pull it out of the fender lining. You do not need to remove the lower 21mm bolt. If you have a child they...

    Tein EnduraPro Plus adjustable shock absorbers fitted

    Maybe you still have it set to too soft? I ran the softest setting too, but was too bouncy and amplified large bumps instead of dulled them out. The softest I could go without worsening the ride was 10Front 12 rear. I don’t have the Endurapro anymore, I switched to ST XA coilovers and dropped...

    Vendor ST Suspensions - ST XA Adjustable Coilover Kit - Tesla Model Y - New Pricing!

    @tom @ eas installation question, I’ve read that after lowering the car, you need to loosen all the suspension bolts, then preload the spindle with a jack until it slightly lifts the car so the spindle can be near ride height, then retorque at ride height. Is there any truth to this? It makes...

    I went ahead and dropped the car another 0.5” making the total drop 1.5”. I expected the car comfort to decrease, but the strangest thing happened, the car seems to have gotten slightly MORE comfortable. I’m guessing the stiffer portion of the front progressive springs engage earlier, so it...

    Nah man, I pump through speedbumps and driveways with gusto at even greater speed! The shocks eat em up so much better, all I feel is a soft clunk instead of being thrown around like a rag doll. I’m currently riding at a 1” drop with 5.8” ground clearance, it’s 0.5” lower than a MYP, but still...

    Vendor ST Suspensions - ST XA Adjustable Coilover Kit - Tesla Model Y - New Pricing!

    What’s the lowest you recommend I drop this without compromising my battery? MPP suggests the lowest battery height to be 135mm which equates to a 1.5” drop with a ground clearance of 5.3”, even though their coilovers have the ability to drop 2.49”. I should be able to clear speed bumps easy...
