Aftermarket Wheels And Suspension

[tom @ eas]

what are the differences between the mountain pass suspensions?

do the other set not go as low?

For the Model Y MPP setups, you have Comfort with adjustable dampening and Comfort without adjustable dampening.

Both kits have height adjustment.

How does your Y handle in the curves and corners with the way that you have your MPP set up? Thank you.

I've now adjusted to f:14/10, r:14/12.
I've changed tires to Pirelli Scorpion A/S3, 255/50 X 19" (vs. 255/45 X 19")
I've dropped tires to 36PSI, all around.

You can see from all of this that I'm going totally for comfort, so my wife will be comfortable the few times she rides with me. PLUS, my 69-year-old body prefers the increased comfort of the combination stated above. No more sharp slaps over concrete expansions cracks, and the tires have muted rough concrete noise to a tolerable level. Overall, it's rather "spongy", but always feels controlled. I haven't challenged traction limits, wet or dry, and here in Fort Worth, no snow this winter.

So...I don't drive this car the way I used to drive my GTIs, or my 1993 Audi S4. I just don't. I enjoy the straight-ahead thrill occasionally, but don't challenge highway access ramps, either.

What was the question?????

Pianewman,
Thank you for your reply. I am 73. Still enjoy pushing the accelerator.

Pianewman,
At one time did you have your compression set at 16 on the front. I thought I saw a older thread with a statement by you with this figure.

 

[Pianewman]

Pacernow: Nope. In fact, even though the dial can go PAST 14, MPP says nothing is happening at that point. 14 is the softest.

Thank you. Going to have MPP put on my car in April. Any advice or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciate.

The "standard" install drops about 1/2" all around. Make sure you understand that. I had to shave my front mudflaps to keep them from scraping on speedbumps. MPP achieves a more compliant suspension while at the same time dropping the vehicle.
An experienced shop should know the installation. Customer Service at MPP is excellent, with Jesse answering my questions quickly via email. I had loads of questions, as this was early on in aftermarket coilovers for the MY, and I was comparing Ohlins, MPP, and UnpluggedPerformance.
