Before and after lowering brackets SAS

[HX_Guy]

That looks great! I think this is the first Model S Ive seen with aftermarket wheels that looks better than with the stock 21s.

What wheels are those?

Nice! Does anyone know if this kit causes any issue with the factory warranty?

Shouldn't with the warranty, but when I installed mine I chewed through a set of tires in one summer due to the camber. Got the adjustable links ASAP and seems to have solved the problem for me.

Great, thanks for the info.

This was brought up in the other identical thread by the OP. 1.5" lowering will result in -2.5 negative camber if starting with -1.7.

Will chew through tires in just a few K miles especially on such low profile wheels. Very expensive.

Sorka,

After the first set of cv shafts sent bad I set it to lowest at all speeds.

Wow now I understand what is going on here with the lowering, I don't know if I'd pay big $$ for some fancy aluminum ones (no offense UP) these are just arms that articulate a sensor to set the air suspension to whatever height the arm angle is set to.

Very interesting.
