Eibach Releases Performance Pack Lowering Springs

[SkyWalk3r]

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

Are you still able to measure wheel to fender gap front and rear? I assume that performance model was a customer vehicle.

Unfortunately no the cars are both long gone. For what it’s worth it did appear to sit slightly lower than the Model 3 RWD variants. However, not low to the point that it hindered clearance substantially... off the top of my head I want to say that it still has a 1.5 finger gap or so...

The rear to me looks low in those pics, i would rather a little rake

could be how deep the rear wheels fit into the fender. the rear offset of the performance wheels is far from flush

Agree with both ElementPowder and SkyWalk3r's comments - make it look really meh in that black pic. Pic is also not flat so its hard to judge. Wheels gotta be flush with a slight rake otherwise it looks like you're hauling a fatass (so sorry its not a PC term).

Modified the picture of the black one. It was about 2.5-3 degrees off angle. Assuming the electrical conduit and Red A are level, this is now corrected. While not an aggressive rake it looks ever so slightly raked if not level. It’s also possible things were in the trunk, perhaps the stock springs. Hard to tell, need more pics in real life. Black is arguably the worst color for this level of investigation. Some like a more aggressive rake but I’m not sure that works as well on the relatively non-aggressive styling of the Model 3.

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

How much did you trim the bump stops for eibach on the performance?

 

[Cricket88]

Same as rwd. Just cut off the first rib (lobe) and that’s about 20mm or so off the overall length.

ya it was basically the only information on the eibach installation PDF. thanks for replying too.

Installed. Nice and even. Forged wheels with aggressive offsets coming in 4 weeks.

Will post here.

Can you guys with the Eibach's comment on how low the car is? I got my Model 3 for a daily driver (my wife will be driving it a lot as well) but I can't look at it at stock height. I want to lower it and put spacers on the 19's but I don't want to deal with any scraping or harsh ride.

Comments on ride quality?

 

[SkyWalk3r]

Rides about the same. It's low enough for now, but I will eventually get air suspension to get it slightly lower with ability to raise for steep driveways and winter.

check out @teslamods33 on ig for a very low model 3 on airbags

Here is a Dual Motor (non-performance) on 20” performance wheels and Eibach Pro-Kit springs. I tried to take better pictures this time along with measurements

This might be the subtle drop I’ve been looking for.

If the ride quality doesn’t suffer, wouldn’t mind these at all.

Ok, now I'm sold. Appreciate the pics @Cricket88

I just ordered eibachs for my performance 3 and my wifes LR RWD
