New member - just wanted to add my car and say hello.

I took delivery end of June 2020 and have loved every minute of my first Tesla.

Here 2020 MY PUP w/ Unplugged Performance 1” moderate drop springs.

Ugh. Hope this works now.

Looks real good. Watch out for those parking curbs! I know I do


Anymore pics of your Y? From the side front and side rear


I also have UP springs (milds) on my 3. Handles as good as a sports car

 

[AmbienWalrus]

Is the ride quality more noticeably stiffer or bouncy?

 

[KenMast3rs]

Do the Uberturbines sit flushed with the fender or do you think spacers might be needed?

I am considering getting the UP moderate for my Y with Uberturbines. I had the UP moderate for my 3 and it was great.

Your car is spectacular!!!

I promised my wife I wouldn't lower anymore cars, but you have me thinking twice now...

I’ve got 1” drop springs for all my cars... not lowered necessarily - but sportier.

My 2000 VW Golf TDI sits on H&R cup kit and my 2008 Mazda5 is on MazdaSpeed3 springs.

The look is perfect IMO. The ride is a bit more firm, but I like it especially due the performance of the ModelY Performance.

When I first ordered the car, I knew it would be a matter of time till lowered it, and almost immediately I found the UP springs.... and my wife knew that was my first major mod. Of course then I blacked out all my emblems and tinted the front windows. Next will be headlights, to de-chrome the insides... and I’ve done that before as well, but I’m nervous to crack open these headlights for some reason.

I installed the springs myself - I think it’s fun.
I’ll try to snap more Picts today, but in the mean time - here’s one of my other favorites while I installed the springs.

The 21” Überturbines are great, the but the tires need more aspect ratio - as the wheels are proud of the tires, which look great - if you find a curb, yer screwed.

Agree on the 21’s and the higher likelihood to get scratched due to the profile. Hit a small pot hole this morning and it managed to get a bit of the wheel already. Ordered a set of 20’s and thinking this drop/springs will compliment the new setup.

This is just ridiculous. Ridiculously sick!
Right now, I'm into my lifted Tacoma and swore I wouldn't mod the Tesla.
But damn. Do you know if I would get the same drop? (MY LR with the 21s)
The springs are a hell of a lot cheaper than the full coilovers.

Do the Uberturbines sit flushed with the fender or do you think spacers might be needed?

Not quite flush w/ the outside of the wheel well. Spacers would push them out a bit more - and it would look great. I don't think I'll pick up spacers tho.

I see. If you don’t mind posting the front and rear shots with the lowered springs, I’d love to see how it looks. I would try to avoid spacers if possible. I had them on my 3 and it might have hurt range. Thanks

I'll try to grab some good shots tomorrow - weather looks clear & sunny for Tacoma!

Thanks!

I told the wifey before delivery, “Hey I’m lowering your car and I already ordered the springs.” She likes it better lowered!! Hehe
