    Has anyone ever figured out the difference between 23MY performance and 23MY long range suspension? Is it just a difference in springs a touch lower in the performance?

    Thanks for the detailed response. I was leaning towards the Flex Z initially but Rishie talked me out of those since he said people do have odd noises from them at time. The enduros have been good about no random noises. Nice to hear MPP is working out well for you, I actually opted for non...

    Unfortunately that is the only review I’ve seen this far. A matched set is indeed more preferable perhaps. This is why I was leaning towards the flex z but seems the shocks were supposed to be more comfortable. Perhaps the old mpp was more performance oriented while the new ones are more aimed...

    You are correct. It was recommended by zev. He’s been nothing but helpful through the whole ordeal. He actually talked me out of mpp into Tein bc he said the Tein has been more comfortable than mpp, which is what we’ve all been hearing. Not saying better, but more comfortable, seeing comfort was...

    Meh!! Not cutting it for me. Might be switching back to oem. Maybe mpp non adjustable. Haven’t decided yet… I’d love to try out the ohlins but refuse to spend 4k.

    Correct. My mistake. Typed it backwards. Indicated 80mph was 82mph actual.

    Model Y Suspension Suggestions

    That does take into account the larger diameter. The oversized wheels made my speedo 2mph hour faster slower pretty much across the board. Not sure if I was calculating right but I figured the number shown on the screen was over by about 3%. 300 wh/ml was actually 291 wh/ml. Stayed on those...

    Great price. Mind you one thing I did notice is that the oem 19s give me better consumption numbers than the 18s. Very odd but I assume it’s bc of my oversized tires, despite the significant weight difference. Again this is with the fast ev 18 inch rims, not oem 18 inch. Touring tire with...

    That is correct. I am using the Model 3 wheels. Load rating is lower but seems the lower load rating is "ok" as long as one is not towing.

    Were you one of the chosen few to test out the new MPP non adjustable? Seems someone just posted a review but thats one person out of 100s probably going to be installed soon. Just wondering why you suggest the ST over MPP? I have tried everything with the Tein but just cant find a sweet...

    Factory springs with Tein shocks has crossed my mind as well, Just hate to give up the lowering which was my main reason for going with a aftermarket shocks so I could lower the car. The extra suspension travel is something I had brought up to Rishie before I even purchased, he assured me the...

    I am not sure if it is hitting the bump stops but its actually too much rebound! To the points where the car is bouncing up and down multiple times instead of trying to smooth out the bump. Cause has been discovered, shocks were set too soft. Tightening them up has helped, still trying to find...

    On a side note, I initially wanted to go with the Tein coilovers since it would make sense the spring/shock combo is what’s proven but rishie suggested against it only because the coilovers produce some noises at times.

    Thanks for being patient with an update. Install was done the day before I was headed on a road trip with the family. Worst decision ever! 10/12 F/R setting as suggested. Car was very bouncy and big dips on the highway felt like the car was bottoming out. The suspension was even worse than...

    I did get them installed but still playing with the settings before I make any comments about my experience. To adjust the rear shocks I have to lift the car and remove the rear wheels/arch liners. Only day I have time is Sundays and weather must permit. My main reason for the Tein was because...

    Anyone go to 18" wheel and tires?

    I was actually at end of tire on the previous set. Had a new set installed recently so can’t really gauge tire wear patterns yet. Was thinking about doing a chalk test.

    Anyone go to 18" wheel and tires?

    I went with wheels for a model 3. That’s what I found used locally. Got them cheap. The other option was newer used Aeros which have the correct load rating for model y. I’d do it again without a doubt! Edit I take that back. I will probably go with 235 55 next time just because the 60 added...

    Pretty impressive!! It will be a few weeks before I’ll be getting my shocks and springs installed. Installer has some scheduling issues so taking advantage of that time to get some last minute warranty work in before I kill the warranty.

    You are right I did not reference them due to pricing. I just don’t want to spend that much on the setup. Rishie from Zevcentric has convinced me the Tein/Eibach combo should fit my needs pretty well. I’ve already placed my order, just waiting for back ordered parts to be shipped.

    Well that’s quite reassuring to hear. Thanks for chiming in. @MattM24 @Pianewman So just thinking aloud here. Tein shocks can be paired with oem springs or lowering springs…supposedly. In theory oem shocks can also be paired with oem springs or lowering springs but this results in...

    The tire size is actually amazing and almost at the comfort level I need. Highways are excellent. It’s lower speed maneuvers that need help. And like you said the lowered height. I was actually thinking about it while driving today, main reason for all the work now is just a bit more comfort...

    Nice insight on the MPP. I have typically been a Michelin user religiously. The reason I didn’t go with the PilotSport series this time is bc I am not really interested in the sport aspect with these. I don’t foresee any extreme track days upcoming on the model y. I’ll have to give the...

    Ya you’re right. Maybe I do need to learn all the sciences in what goes into makes a shocks stiffer or softer. But have to start somewhere? I believe you, the testing may be irrelevant. But between this video and his actual road test videos I’m sold. Maybe I’m just a sucker 🤣 Time will tell…

    I am no suspension expert by any means. But of course I do understand this test is far from scientific. All the variables you mentioned would make a tremendous difference but for a novice like me it helps visualize and explain things in 5th grader terms. Seems in a few other videos the “butt...

    The reason I didn’t go with the CC2 is because some users reported more road noise. I have worked hard on getting rid of road noise and rattles in the car, CC2 would be working against me.

    Cold pressure is set to 40. I have not messed with tire pressure with these since there is such a massive sidewall. Don’t think it would make any significant difference. But I’ll play around with it. Oem I had set to 36 which made a big difference in comfort. The Michelins are 107 rated.

    I went with FastEV EV01 18s. Michelin primacy touring. 235 60. The rims are rated for a model 3. I won’t ever be towing. Only 715kg load rating vs the required 750kg. Tires were chosen for maximum comfort. These tires did add .5 inch to ride height.
