    MPP Comfort Coilover reviews?

    Your comments are spot on to my experience with MPP coilovers. Your ride stays sporty firm, yet the road imperfections suddenly are handled much better as one would expect from a premium car. I love the height you chose as well. Enjoy your ride.

    2021 Model 3 heater not working

    So the Service Center replaced three sensors and you have this recording of noise and the unit starting and stopping. Why aren't you asking the Service Center instead ? If you already have set up an appointment, please let us know what they say afterwards. It would be most helpful when people...

    2021 Model 3 heater not working

    Consider yourself very lucky with the Audi. Consumer Reports rates the 2015 Audi A6 a 1 out of 5 in reliability. The engine, brakes and electrical system, in particular, are rated really poor which, if/when it goes, will coast a pretty penny. The Model Y is not exactly rated high in reliability...

    2021 Model 3 heater not working

    I was at the TESLA SC for a tire rotation today. I asked about Model Y/3 Heat Pump issues in cold climates. He said the only issue they have come across is some Model Ys/3s temperature sensors have failed and the part replacement is done within 15 minutes. Also, a co-worker purchased a June...

    2021 Model 3 heater not working

    Honda just had a recall for over 1.4 million vehicles to "repair drive shafts that can break, window switches that can overheat and a software flaw". You can search it easily and conclude that is massive. If there is a part replacement needed for the 2021 Model 3 and/or Y for heat pumps you are...

    2021 Model 3 heater not working

    So what did the SC say ? You can be sure Tesla already knows what fix is needed if this is becoming a common issue.

    MPP Comfort Coilover reviews?

    The Camber arms are highly recommended. Jesse from MPP, however, stated they are not essential if you are lowering your model 3 about 0.5 inches or less. Your alignment may just be very slightly off if that matters to you. After I had the comfort adjustables installed I immediately noticed...

    MPP Comfort Coilover reviews?

    Great to hear the installation went well. Did you get an alignment ? Also it seems like you are very happy that the car is lowered and still more comfortable than stock. The more seat time with the MPP coilovers will make you appreciate them more and more IMO. They definitely damp rough road...

    MPP Comfort Coilover reviews?

    Having no gap means your friend is definitely risking major scraping to the underbody IMO. I wouldn't go lower than 1.25 inches or so.

    MPP Comfort Coilover reviews?

    Well I have the adjustable comforts lowered 3/4 inch. Not exactly slammed whatsoever. As for comfort these are a home run. From day one the Model three puts a smile on your face while driving, but then when the harsh bumps or potholes are contacted the Model 3 stock dampers feel very harsh and...

    Aftermarket Suspension with OEM Height and Softer Ride

    I get your point. However, that's not a big deal at all if you keep the original dampers; at least until the warranty period is up. After warranty is up I would prefer to get MPPs upper control arms as I suspect they will match the quality of their adjustable comfort coilovers and camber/toe...

    Vendor NEW: MPP Model 3 Comfort Adjustable Coilovers RWD/AWD!

    Based upon what you are saying about your roads, Hawnboy, it's a no brainer to go with the adjustable comforts which still enhance every aspect of driving fun (versus Stock) and comfort. If you never track you will be gaining the comfort's benefits every single day versus compromising with the...

    Yeah, that would be against the law. Only trip odometer is or can be lost after the upgrade.

    Well it always feels good to get more efficiency, but many of us (myself included) have solar panels and probably care less about that. I just never want to smell gasoline ever again as others still do while filling up an ICE car. Electric rules....

    Model 3 HW3 retrofit questions, wait time, issues

    Just got my HW3 installed on 7/21 on Long Island, NY..... Plainview SC. No drama or issues. Just had to reconnect my WIFI.

    Aftermarket Suspension with OEM Height and Softer Ride

    Nice video focusing on ride quality and the quest for the softest "Lexus like" ride possible for our model 3s. Appreciate the honesty on the pros and cons. I still think you have it wrong that our cars that are lowered 3/4 inch or so with MPP adjustable Comfort Coilovers can not ride as well as...

    Vendor NEW: MPP Model 3 Comfort Adjustable Coilovers RWD/AWD!

    Without recording the wh/mi average before and after I would say I am getting about -15 wh/mi benefit. The highway is really noticeable. The weather is very warm now which helps, but I couldn't believe it when I saw real time readings getting in the high 180's wh/mi The total average now reads...

    Vendor NEW: MPP Model 3 Comfort Adjustable Coilovers RWD/AWD!

    Both have the inox stainless still which is great and so over looked compared to some of the competition. Just google how durable inox steel is. The two kits are also very close in design. The springs are the major difference (softer) for the adjustable comfort kit. The sports are the choice for...

    Tesla Model 3 Performance Review – At 2 Years and Counting! Are We Two Years into a Revolution?

    Congrats on your new purchase. I have been loving everything about owning my model 3 LR AWD 2018. The 2020 model threes are even more refined than ours. Tesla improvements never rest. Funny, I thought the ownership couldn't get any better and then I ordered boost that's worth every cent. The...

    Tesla Model 3 Performance Review – At 2 Years and Counting! Are We Two Years into a Revolution?

    dfwatt your review couldn't be more accurate. There are too many benefits that outweigh the minor negatives owning a Tesla Model 3. Here is what happened to me. I simply drove to a friends house who had a Model S and a Model 3 in November 2018. He let me test drive both vehicles back to back...

    MPP vs Redwood Coilovers

    I love the MPP camber and toe arms. They are first rate quality. Much nicer than stock. I also think lowering the Model 3 (non P) one inch lower is the perfect height for the ride, comfort and safe distance from nasty scrapes from speed bumps etc.. Closer to 1.5 inches or more is asking for...

    Aftermarket Suspension with OEM Height and Softer Ride

    Thanks for the info on droop. Also as far as the lift kit from MPP goes, I can only add that the car definitely rode better than stock when I had them on and set to stock height. However, as I mentioned previously I way overestimated the need for them. They are best used if you want to raise the...

    Aftermarket Suspension with OEM Height and Softer Ride

    I really hope your purchase works out for you. It sounds like you are agonizing over your decision and leaning towards Redwoods from what you have said obviously. All I can offer is my real world experience with MPP. Simply put, they offered a solution that allowed me to keep stock height and...

    Aftermarket Suspension with OEM Height and Softer Ride

    Sorry you feel this way buddra. Have you visited MPPs site? They recently posted explaining why their dampers feel more comfortable. It's under recent posts | suspension tech. They have also made it very clear that they put lots of time into R&D. So the data they get is their data that...

    Aftermarket Suspension with OEM Height and Softer Ride

    Sure thing. Here are pictures showing the lift kit installed. Ironically I decided to have the car lowered on Friday. They removed the lift kit and now my car sits 1.3 inches lower than stock. Why did I do this ? Well I basically had OCD while ordering thinking lowering below stock height would...

    Aftermarket Suspension with OEM Height and Softer Ride

    See my post about this exact setup with the lift kit and the camber and toe arms. Only I have the "older" comfort adjustable kit known as the Hybrid setup. I also used the risers to keep the 'stock' ride height which basically means my installer set the dampers for a 1.75 inch drop I believe to...

    Aftermarket Suspension with OEM Height and Softer Ride

    Actually I am running the Hybrid Comforts. Or more accurately the ones you combined for me with the adjustable performance dampers and the comfort springs along with the Lift kit. The combo is really really nice. Perfect for people just looking for better ride comfort and who have no need or...

    Vendor NEW: MPP Model 3 Comfort Adjustable Coilovers RWD/AWD!

    Thanks for the information. I immediately noticed less body lean after having the MPP Hybrids installed. There is also noticeable and much improvement in ride comfort on less than smooth roads.

    MPP vs Redwood Coilovers

    I also purchased and had the camber and toe arms installed. Not only do they help adjust alignment precisely, they look so much nicer than stock arms as well.

    MPP vs Redwood Coilovers

    GreenHokie you sound like me about a year ago in doubting what coilovers can do. I had been lurking on sites like this for a while. I researched UPPs springs, their coilovers and of course MPPs and Redwoods a little bit. Once I heard about the Hybrids I felt like taking a chance. Glad my...

    MPP vs Redwood Coilovers

    Exactly. The hybrid setup was a product you could get from MPP that combined their performance or sports dampers with the softer coils used on the original comfort kit. I remember discussing with Jesse from MPP many times about how I wanted to improve my AWD Model 3 non-P ride. Some people like...

    MPP vs Redwood Coilovers

    I have the MPP Hybrid setup. When I drive my familiar commute to work I am just amazed at how the the MPP Hybrid system is able to smooth out the bumps so much better then the stock dampers. I used to try and avoid about 4 different bumps knowing how hard they felt and upset my ride. The stock...
