I'm looking at the Dirt and Snow Coilover to raise my model Y by a couple of inches. I don't know much about coilovers. My question regards ride comfort - will it also improve the comfort of the Model Y - especially over rough city streets. I'm comparing this to the Unplugged Performance Luxury Coilovers and I'm hoping that it will be close to the improvement that you get with those coilovers (or at least better than the stock model y configuration.

Hello ccwsf, I see that you're located in the Bay Area. Give us a call or email and we can discuss options based on your needs.
I had been considering the MPP lift kit but then Unplugged introduced the Dirt and Snow coilovers which seem like a better option to lift the car with actual suspension travel. However, I have not seen one report of someone getting them yet and I'm waiting to hear reviews.
Incredulocious
LEAF → RAV4EV → Model 3 → Model Y
They haven't delivered any yet. That said - their Luxury coilovers has reviewed well and since they manufacture through a well known coilovers company - I don't see any reason why this doesn't improve the ride...
Just frustrated by the wait though...

Still in the trunk. 2nd law of thermodynamics and other more meaningful things to do keep getting in the way. We finished building our kids’ school play yard! Farm work! Work work! Health worker in family on perma-call! Etc The box is darn heavy so I have an incentive to get it done just to not be loading and unloading it like a fool. Stuff looks primo tho, noice.

Hi to anyone who may be interested- I just got the Unplugged Performance Dirt and Snow Offroad Coilovers installed.
I have learned so much from this forum over the last ~10 years, and I tend to do so little on my cars that this a good opportunity for me to contribute back. So, I plan to do a full review, and to do so it would help me to collect your questions: If you don't mind posting specific questions, ideas of pictures you want to see, etc it would help me a lot do a comprehensive writeup with pics. I predict people will ask about how easy it is to access the hard/soft dials, how to set height, etc. So AMA and I'll be happy to try to provide the answers I can.

How much was the install?
What's the most (and least?) lift you can get?
Is the ride any better? What about on a dirt road?
Do you plan on changing the lift regularly? Sounds like that would be a pain.
Any worries about what happens when the shocks eventually go out? UPP isn't using a name brand shock are they so replacement may be difficult? (no real idea here, just wondering)
Worth it over the MPP lift?

Looks great- Off-topic question, is someone on the way to replace the roof rack bars with one that are flat/straight? I carry a lot of ad hoc stuff but putting a whole rack makes the view from the interior looks like a cage.
I have had zero time to write a review . In the meantime, some pics.
