Remove both the shock bolt and wheel carrier bolt. There is just too much preload to allow adjustments to be made while everything is together. If helper springs and/or thrust sheets/bearings are installed, then adjustment could happen but still very tight. GC articulating height adjusters do...

At that height you will have to max out the rear adjustments and nearly max out the front.

They are only getting bigger each year! lol

I am sure he got the letter in the mail.

Saw this BMW iX in San Gabriel Valley, CA. Who else thinks it looks better than the Y?

Delays suck! Probably makes sense to get the other sites near major highways up and running first.

Konig Ampliform 18x9.5B 5x114.3 ET35 Dark Metallic Graphite with hub centric rings. Profile B. Konig part number kngAM98514356B. Flow Formed. Weighs around 19.5 lb. each. Four months of ownership. Ceramic coated with Gtechniq C5, topped off with two coats of EXO, and C2 applied at every other...

I guess we are just so used to making everything someone else's problem.

It depends where the chargers are going in. Any of the covered areas are often full during mall opening hours.

Wait, they are putting one in at the Mall! Nice.

Remove the trash cans so the Tesla owners can take the trash home and dispose of it there.

That is very interesting. Going from MPS4S to Conti Extreme Contact netted zero range difference for me. MPS4S is supposed to be stickier of the two.

They use Spiegler lines.

You can get some of the best lines custom made by Spiegler: https://spieglerusa.com/

Typically, with a different caliper you will also need a different line. On the Camaro I did the CTS-V BBK upgrade the SS line had to be upgraded.

By any chance you weigh the caliper and rotor? Thanks!

Installed and lowered 3/4" front and 1/4" rear to give the vehicle some rake. Aligned with 1/16" toe-in front and 1/8" toe-in rear for street duty.

That is double the US48 shipping rate so it sounds about right.

Just the toe arms and SS brake lines. Have MPP lower control arm bearings with and without the bushing too. PM me about the camber arms.

I think I still have to toe arms. Let me take a look and get back to you on Monday.

It's usually the caliper shape that is the issue(Brembos run big). Stoptech 380 ST/STR-60 often clears most 18" aftermarket wheels with caliper clearance in mind in the design phase.

With this caliper doors are open for great hybrid pads like the Ferodo DS2500 and their endurance track day pad DS1.11.

Can't go wrong with Michelins but be careful with the Michelins at Costco. Some of them are private labeled for them and may not have the same construction.

front to rear is typically all you need to do. If you have some abnormal wear side to side, then you may want to rotate side to side. Inspect the tires first then rotate as needed and align as needed.

1/2" away from the edge a tire shop may or may not want to repair it for liability reasons. You have to call around to see who is willing to repair it.

He said he is on MPP coilovers and arms.

Usually Tein USA in Downey, California. I am surprised there isn't a warehouse in Canada. How much was shipping if you don't mind me asking?

Did you order those from the U.S.?

Time to make the switch to Apex VS-5RS wheel! 18" with 265 Conti if anyone is curious.

Yes, they are! :)

No, I don't think that was case. Months ago Ohlins USA said July. More are coming later this year.

Updates on when they are landing? End of this month.

SS lines are mostly for abrasion resistance and for moisture permeation. SS lines use PTFE lining to stop moisture permeation. Although the PTFE lining may have less expansion properties, it's not something you will feel by making the switch. More critical in pedal feel is the reduction of any...

Not a top priority! :)

On M3P only. High quality and well made. Autocrossed with AX6 and 1521 Carbotech pads and can't be happier with the results. Porterfield R4S for street duty.

That is available but out of stock right. Call Tein for ETA.

Yes, you can. See the two rubber plugs on the rear shock mounts? Remove one or the other and the opening is large enough to insert your finger to adjust. Front is just under the frunk cover. Alternatively, you can drill a 2-3 mm hole and use the supplied Tein adjusting tool.

These are surprising well made and damping seems to be decent for the price. I do recommend these. Keep in mind that with a bigger anti roll bar you will need to turn up the damping since in a turn the bar adds to the spring rate.

Yes, as long as the center bore is correct. If not, just use hub centric rings.

The rear calipers and brackets on the LR are more prone to corrosion for sure. The painted/powder coated P calipers will hold up better.

If you are trying to corner balance or remove preload, get the adjustable ones. Otherwise the stock ones are fine.

Paragon offers a nice set of front and rear two-piece slotted rotors(I think they offer free shipping). PFC makes some great pads sold through UP, Porterfield R4-S is excellent as well, and so are Carbotech 1521.

You are welcome. Happy to post something that has not been installed or reviewed. No, they are linear. 9kg front and 10kg rear. I just assume they aren't pre-cycled like the high-end Swift or Hyperco springs. Definitely ride quality focused rather than handling. I spoke to Tein, but no higher...

Full and more rubber than OE on the Tein shock mounts(both front and rear). These are definitely designed with ride quality in mind, the opposit of a pillowball mount or spherical bearing mount. See my original post for the front upper mount photo.

Vehicle set to 7/8 lower front and 3/8 lower in the back then when it came in. Given these aren't linear rate springs that have been pre-cycled the vehicle will likely drop another 1/8 to 1/4 after a few hundred miles of driving. Will report the height change if any in a couple of weeks...

Will report back soon. Drove the car prior to the install.

Best bang for your money with adjustable height and damping https://www.tein.com/products/flex_z.html

Tesla lowered the compression damping on 2021+ vehicle so all you need are the dampers. I have 9K front and 12K rear springs(Factory is 6K front and 10K rear)on my MCS 2WNR coilovers and it still rides better than any pre 2021 vehicles. It's mostly in the damping.

When are we getting a 400 mile range Model 3?

That isn't a solid mount. It has more rubber to reduce NVH than the OE mount. Here is a good review:
