2020 Model Y PUP w 1” drop springs

[KenMast3rs]

Looks good! Thanks for posting the pics. I am so tempted to lower. Debating between mild and moderate.

Not clean, but the WA blue skies were out today!

Looks great, but RIP your inner tires.

Camber doesn’t even look bad. Plus you can always flip the tires.

Any chance you can take close up picture of the tires from the front of the car and the rear of the car? Want to see how bad the camber is and if it make sense for the adjustable camber kit. Thanks in advance.

Does it mean flipping the inside of the tires to the outside?

That looks really really nice. I was close to going this route however I decided to go for 20mm spacers instead. These damn wheels already are exposed to curbs and lowering them would only make my wheel repair bill triple.

Yes. Assuming tires aren’t directional

PZeros on the 21's are directional so therefore can't be flipped or rotated being staggered.

Camber is hardly a difference to the naked eye but im sure measurement wise, it is.

The ride is nearly the same, just a tad softer.


The looks are obvious and significant from stock.

Bottom line.. go for it.

Looks so much better! I test drove a Model Y Perf Stealth which had the regular suspension and it looked so awkward due to the massive wheel gap.

It's such a weird thing huh? I think it's due to the low pro tires + wheel gap that makes it more odd than it needs to be.
I look at other performance CUVs, esp the SQ5 and the wheel gap on theirs is the same if not greater but doesn't look nearly as bad.

 

[Demented_Y]

Of course you can flip directional tires! You flip them and you mount them on the other side of the car. Been doing that for years with directional staggered tires. Of course you have to pay mount and balance every time but you get more life out of them before you have to buy a whole new set.

I agree, just do it!

There was a post on different thread the camber is off by -2.2 on the Moderate springs.

 

[KenMast3rs]

The title says moderate 1” drop? UP said the moderate is 1.5” drop.

Would someone know what is the new clearance with the moderate springs drop? Debating if I want to go with mid or moderate.
Thanks.

IIRC, the MYP comes 1/2" or perhaps 1" lower than a stock Dual Motor (non-performance). So when I chose these springs, I wanted the moderate drop, which was nearly 1" from where I was with my MYP.

If I compare my current set up with the 1" drop springs from UPP to a stock dual motor MY - the look is dramatic.

GO FOR IT!!

I am an alpine ski instructor, and my 2000 VW Golf TDI has a 1" drop (the oil pans on TDI's are lower than gassers) - and so I have probably 3-4" clearance on my Golf TDI... but rarely do I ever need chains using studless snowtires.

So I'd assume the same w/ my 'lowered' MYP - probably 4-5" clearance and now I have all wheel drive! I do not consider 1" drop to be lowered... it just looks like it should have from the factory IMO.

Not quite that easy with the Pzeros due to these factors;

A. Directional
B. Asymmetrical
C. Staggered

Like I said my dude, not so much with the eyes but it will incur more camber wear for sure as every millimeter matters...

 

[BMax_V.2]

Is the ride quality more noticeably stiffer or bouncy?

I've had these for about a week now and I noticed its a tad bouncier. Not unbearable by any stretch of my imagination. Just noticeable.

Can others chime in to verify this?

Ah yes, the asymmetrical factor would be a problem

 

[adrianmcbeard]

As long as the caster is corrected with an alignment you won't get increased wear when lowering the car. You will have less of a contact patch though.
