Last week I pre-ordered the Mountain Pass coil overs. Looks like they’ll be shipping Nov/Dec but it was slightly cheaper ($5) and I’m in no rush.

No preference except that it looks like I can save 2% on the overall price by paying with PayPal.
MPP Model Y Comfort Adjustable Coilovers PREORDER | Mountain Pass Performance
Everyone wanting to lower their suspension, but others doing much more interesting things for increasing ride height. You guys go, would be fantastic for you to capture the not insignificant overlander market as well as the usual ho hum go faster sector! All the things and power to you. Nice to confound expectations and offer up alternatives. How about a lovely air suspenson package like the Landrover product line? Would be nice to be able to ride through a little bit of water like they do... and then lower it for sport/highway use, like most European stuff does.

I asked my son's friend who's a big car guy to compare both the MPP and UPP's coilover packages.
His reply was "I’d prob go for the mountain pass ones since they are KWs. That’s one of the top brands of coil overs in the industry"
I'm going to go with MPP if they confirm that the $200 preorder deposit is refundable.

The height is totally adjustable. MPP provides settings for high, low and neutral
Chiming in here with 2 cents. I can share my experience with Unplugged Performance’s new “Luxury” coilovers that were recently fitted to my wife’s new Model Y Performance. She had noted the harsh feel of the stock suspension, which seems to be a fairly common. I’m in the so-cal area and decided to have the pros take care of the install at their shop in Hawthorne right next to Space X, the Tesla design center and supercharger. Their website has a link to get referrals if you’re outside the area. They made drop off and check-in a breeze, especially with COVID-friendly precautions that were almost touchless. They knocked it about half a day and worked with us to determine preference for ride height. They provided photos of setup and followed up to make sure we were satisfied. Real solid customer service that kept us updated along the way. The payoff is amazing.! Smooth as glass at low and fwy speeds and softens those harsh jolts, but I was expecting a trade-off on overall handling. I anticipated added body roll and some delay in response when turning in or changing direction. Zero, zip, squat. I don’t sense any trade-off at all. It is the best of both worlds IMHO. Their kit is adjustable and the remote knobs under the frunk top cover are convenient, although they have them setup so well we don’t see the need to adjust anything now. Highly recommended.!1
