Eibach Releases Performance Pack Lowering Springs

[DB-Cooper]

Just saw this announcement. I searched, so hopefully not a dupe:
Product Releases - 2019 TESLA MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE PACKAGE

What's strange is the 1.0" front drop and 1.4" rear. It seems the other spring suppliers have even drops. The picture they provided, albeit not the best angle looks nice, it doesn't look like the rear is sagging.

I'm on the fence on what height to go with. I definitely want to kill some of the 4x4 fender gap, but also don't want to scrape the front. My previous ATS-V with the carbon fiber front splitter was pretty low, so I think I'll survive. I was leaning towards the UP 1.5", but was hoping Eibach would come in at 1.25" or so. I've had good success with Pro-Kit springs before. Hoping someone jumps on this and reports back. Note that the press script says now available, but the order site still says Pre-Order.

That’s correct but the OP linked springs for an AWD Performance. Cricket’s car is an LR RWD.

Good catch, my bad

@DB-Cooper I bought the LR RWD springs from them, and the drop is stated to be 1.2” front and rear. Maybe the rear end of the performance is higher in the rear? Just a guess. What’s interesting is that on Eibachs website they only have the AWD Performace springs available, LR RWD are not even listed anymore.

Yeah, I was hoping for a 1.2" all the way around. The rear on Performance does seem a tad bit higher, but I don't mind the raked look.

I have this set coming in on 4/24 and installed 4/25. I'll post pictures.

Total price: $314.28 @redline360.com

The unplugged performance springs look like the rear is slightly lower than front. I hope these have an even wheel gap front and rear.

If anyone needs these Eibach Performance or LR RWD, I'm actually selling a set for $300 shipped to lower 48 states.

Can’t wait to see the pics and hear your report.

Also if anyone is interested. there are air suspension setups available for the awd model 3s. dm me

 

[SkyWalk3r]

The kit is in

Definitely interested to see some installed pics and hear about if the ride comfort gets worse. I personally feel this car has way too much wheel gap for a Performance car, and this is supposed to come with lowered suspension!

^^^ This ^^^

Also want to know about ride quality. I feel the Performance rides appropriately stiff, not looking for much more (if any) stiffness, is even welcome less, I just gotta get the CUV level gap trimmed down.

Definitely watching this thread. Try to get some good pics from different angles before the install and from those same angles after the install, if you can. Also curious about the ride quality change, as mentioned. Living in the midwest, our roads are pretty rough in the springtime after all of the potholes are patched, but before the road crews actually get around to repaving the worst areas. I love the ride of my Performance model right now but I sometimes have to pick and choose the routes I take based on those road conditions.

Here are two Performance Dual Motors with the new AWD Eibach springs installed. One has the 18” Aeros and the black one has 20” performance wheels. White car has 25/30mm spacers

Looks really good!

 

[Visionary]

Nice, any feedback on the handling and ride quality?. Did you trim the bumpstops?

 

[SkyWalk3r]

Looks better than the UP springs by these pictures. Less sag in the back

YES bump stops will always need trimming whether they are Eibach. Tsportline, UP, etc.

Ride quality is close to stock... overall ride height appears to be slightly lower than the RWD version but not by much...
