I find the MPP sport coilvoers to be very comfortable still. I have done many long tips in my car with them at a pretty low ride height and have no issues at all to report with ride comfort with the settings on full soft.

Just as the dually truck guys. This is common practice. OP needs a bigger hammer. I have used this hammer to remove stuck wheels before. Hasn't let me down. https://shop.snapon.com/product/Sledge-(Blue-Point)/Dead-Blow-11-lb-8-Ounce-Sledge-Hammer-(Blue-Point)/BC114B

Dampers are being worked hard there. An interesting bit of bounce under braking and at the rear applying throttle. Bump stop rebound maybe?

Looking at the UP 4 point I wouldn't want to use it. The harness bar is in the wrong place and the angle of the rear tubes are too steep. I don't understand this design at all. It also appears to rely on the sheer strength of bolts for the lower b pillar point which is is no way legal for...

Are they rubbing on the inside of the caliper as more heat is generated? Very interesting to see that and must mean that the hat sizing is off. By the look of them they are made by Stoptech so the quality should be good enough.

This is what I do.

I'm tempted to cut mine apart now. :)

I could go measure the weight of my factory bars. Would tell me if they are hollow, but won't tell me the wall thickness

If anyone is interested I am selling my unit. Works well, just didn't end up using it.

Was out at Gridlife Alpine Fest last weekend and took the win in Street Class. I got more aggressive with my alignment for this even and learned some things. 1. I don't like toe out in the rear. There are quite a few guides that say to give the car a bit of tow out in the rear and maybe with...

I was wondering the same thing. I haven't taken any measurements yet, but I feel bump steer a bit. I have also killed the boots on the factory units.

I used TE37's for my track setup.

What part of Ohio are you in? If you need some help with the car I own a performance shop in Cincinnati that does a lot of work on Teslas. I have the same coilovers on my personal Model 3 that I track regularly and know the cars very well. Let me know if I can help. I have deviated a bit on...

Car wash mode to center the steering wheel?? What's that about?

Lifting pucks are not at all necessary for jacking or lifting the car with a lift. I work on a lot of these cars at my performance shop and as long as the tech pays attention to the lifting points with a jack or with lift arms it is not a problem. Model 3 is easier to lift on a two post lift...

I would say that any shop that Anyone who is not a numbskull can easily lift the car on a standard two post lift. Not saying every tech at a tire store is competent.

Lifting a Tesla is no different than lifting any other car.

Drive harder? lol Mine definitely require at least that.

I love your rear arms. Definitely the easiest to adjust that I have used.

Gridlife Street class dictates I cannot run more than 255 tread width.

Alignments for track! I know this has been discussed, but wanted to revisit now that we have had quite a lot of time to get our cars out there. By the pyrometer I have settled on around -4F and -3R for camber with 0 toe front and about .1* in rear. I find this to be most neutral, but still...

I keep my steering in comfort on track as the lighter I can grip the wheel with my hands the more feedback I get through it.

Blueing should not be a thing at all and if they are getting that hot then something in the brake system is having an issue and could explain the vibration.

There are definitely G sensors on the car that will do some weird things if it thinks the car has been in an impact. I have bounced off curbs on track and had it do things like this.

That dirt has a surprising amount of grip. Lol

A bit of video from the Gridlife event at Mid Ohio this weekend. I love driving the Tesla on track and competing with the ICE boys....just need more power. I was 1.5 sec behind them with the same or higher min corner speed, but down 15 mph on the back straight. Papa Elon needs to get on a...

Some of the best ways to learn is to get out and do it. What specifically though are you wanting to learn about?

I keep looking at your Motec dash setup....

What series is this? I have been wanting to build a wheel to wheel Model 3.

Track mode makes me mad with these strange values it uses.

Understatement of the year! They are down right uncomfrtable, especially as you get some wear on them.

I do not and have since removed it since it didn't have much effect on the specific track driving I do.

As with most braking issues it comes often down to personal use. Many people don't know how to use brakes properly on track. For those you need more mass. If you are going more than 2-3 hard laps the factory stuff will not work as well. I have ducted the factory calipers with MPP rotors and...

Nice. What lip kit is on your car?

I got a clear ceramic tint done to mine. Drastically cut down on temps in the summer and no changes to visiblity

Coilovers have been sold

They will.

Probably about 2 as that is the max that these coilovers can go from the 2020 M3P height. They are adjustable though so you can go from factory height to this low.

Unless you are using an insanely precise procedure and an insanely accurate torque wrench you are only ever getting it close to 129ftlbs at best. I have a very accurate $800 digital torque wrench that I use for wheels only and even with that it is almost impossible to hit the desired number...

The picture above is about as low as they go.

Here you go.

I have a set of Unplugged Street coilovers for sale form my Model 3 P. Used for 14 months and 10k miles of driving they are in good condition. No leaks from the shocks and all adjustment points move freely. Selling for $1500 shipped in the lower 48. These are single adjustable dampers...

Mine is done in one piece. It can be done. Find a better shop.

Love this look. What are the specs on the wheels?

I would just keep it easy and stick with the same size.

Can't say I would recommend this. The Corvette runs a much larger diameter rear tire size than front and the ABS system is designed to deal with it. The Tesla is not and finding tires in 18 and 19" that are the same overall diameter is going to be very limiting.

I run time attack with Gridlife mostly.

I am running UP Luxury coilovers, but will soon be in for a switch to something more sport oriented. I have not noticed any rubbing at all, but next time I have the car in the air I will check

Had a blast at the Gridlife event at NCM a couple weeks ago. Got third overall in Street class which I was happy with considering my lack of power compared to the ICE cars. Down 11mph on the shorter straights that NCM has really hurts my times. Car did really well, but I need to figure out...

You're right. I do see the L/R threading on it now.
