    TMPS Rebuild/Service Kits

    I just had the OEM TPMS sensors removed from my Aero wheels to be transferred to a new set of wheels. The sensors will need to be rebuilt (new valve, seal, etc.). before being reinstalled. Can a TPMS service kit be purchased directly from Tesla? Are their aftermarket options that are compatible...

    feedback from individuals running Paragon or Girodisc rotors on M3P for HPDE or track events

    Agreed, if the bracket was a little larger (Placing the caliper farther out on the rotor) I believe it would clear, even when expanded under heat. However, I would then worry that the entire pad surface would not be making full contact with the rotor surface. Resulting in a loss of braking...

    feedback from individuals running Paragon or Girodisc rotors on M3P for HPDE or track events

    Correct, the rotors are expanding under high heat. See attached photos earlier in thread. Paragon rotors are not manufactured or assembled by StopTech. To my current knowledge, the only braking system utilizing StopTech hardware is MPP BBK.

    feedback from individuals running Paragon or Girodisc rotors on M3P for HPDE or track events

    I would like to report that Paragon customer service is friendly and responsive. They offered me a full refund and want me to send the rotors back to them for inspection. Thru the whole process, they genuinely wanted to help me resolve my problem. Unfortunately it is defective product because...

    Anybody have experience with Paragon Brakes?

    Correct, I made sure to file down the knuckle and torque all bolts to 77lbs/ft. Despite this, the rotors still do not clear the caliper when hot. It's not even straight when cold.

    Anybody have experience with Paragon Brakes?

    Standard calipers. The rotors clear the inner caliper when cold just barely, but expand when hot. See pic of clearance when cold, before I put my Endless pads back in. Endless pads are available for Perf and Non-Perf from a few retailers, like zevcentric.com. I'm running the EX90s, but would...

    Anybody have experience with Paragon Brakes?

    Posted on another thread but I wanted to get the word out: I just tested out the Paragon rotors for my Model 3. These rotors look nice on the street, but perform like garbage when they get hot. I installed these rotors this past weekend and began the bed-in process for the pads/rotors. When the...

    I just tested out the Paragon rotors for my Model 3. These rotors look nice on the street, but perform like garbage when they get hot. I installed these rotors this past weekend and began the bed-in process for the pads/rotors. When the rotors got up to track temperatures, the brakes began to...

    Thank you! I built the frunk wood table myself with the help of some Youtube videos. Just search "Tesla camp table". Depending on how large you cut the wood, the table can be folded up and stored in the trunk for convivence. A fantastic addition for camping, tailgating, beach days, etc. All in...

    Vendor Redwood Motorsports - Official factory 'Road & Track' Ohlins kit release, pre-order, specs, RWMS Ohlins accessories, and discussion!

    Very true, but I'm sure we could agree that the OEM braking system (Especially on Non-P) is no where near up to the task for aggressive repeated braking. Tesla's come with an impressive brake system out of the box (4-piston Brembos), but at the end of the day these brakes are still trying to...

    We need a 1 hour breakdown and debate video between Ben from UP, Heath from RM, and Jesse from MPP. That would be the end-all conversation in suspensions for Tesla M3 lol.

    Does sim racing seat time count 😂? JK! I already pushed the car beyond some of its stock limits on track my first go. I overheated my braking system in session 3 and had to pull into the hot pits. Luckily, I didn't boil my fluid and experience brake failure. So braking needs attention asap. As...

    Talked to Heath on the phone today. That was his overall impression as well, sway bars are useless for model 3 until you get coilovers first.

    feedback from individuals running Paragon or Girodisc rotors on M3P for HPDE or track events

    Final question: Do many customers experience rust rings on the inner rotor where the stock sized brake pad doesn't make contact with the larger rotor? (ie. After rain or washing the car?)

    feedback from individuals running Paragon or Girodisc rotors on M3P for HPDE or track events

    Since pads and rotors are consumables, does MPP offer replacement rotor rings once they are worn? Or do you need to purchase replacements from GiroDisc?

    All very true/sound advice. I ran a 2:17 PB at Buttonwillow (Started at 2:28). Which is an okay time, but leaves a lot of room for improvement. The ultimate goal is to join the sub two minute club someday. One of the UP employees running a performance model, coilovers (I think) and summer tires...

    We'll see about that. Hmm... I just tracked my car at TeslaCorsa 25 with stock suspension. Tesla makes a fantastic OEM suspension, but I was still experiencing lots of lift over the hills and loss of grip around tight turns at speed. TeslaCorsa is run by Unplugged Performance, so there are...

    How easy is it to adjust compression/rebound on the rear, under the vehicle? Do you need to take the wheel off? I see you're in Castro Valley, when are we canyon running Redwood Road?

    Unplugged performance flugplatz wheels

    Currently running the satin asteroid graphite Unplugged Performance Flugplatz 20" wheels. Each wheel weighs ~ 28 lbs. and is capable of running 235-275 width tires. Right now I have on 255/35x20 Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S tires. I wanted a step up in grip vs OEM tires without loosing too much range...
