Heavy load options

[David99]

I have a 2023 Y P. For work I always have a lot of equipment with me. As a result, the car sits too low. The Performance is already lowered which makes it worse. The car handles fine, there is no rubbing even when I go through dips where the suspension is compressed. I don't have more weight than having 4 adults in the car with some luggage.

What are my options to get the car back to a normal ride height? I looked at 3rd party air suspension kits. But since I keep the equipment the same all the time I don't need a suspension that adjusts for different weights. It also seems like major surgery to install those. Would a simple lift kit that adds spacers help?

Maybe buy a used long range model y, could be a business expense since you sound like a self employed individual. This lets you keep the performance model y untouched for your spirited driving sessions.

From memory, the performance model y is 1/2 inch lower than other trims.

I would think stiffer springs would help.

Coil overs could be a good idea. Adjust up when working with heavy loads. Adjust back down when and if no big loads are needed for awhile. Takes some time, expect 20 mins a corner by the time you jack, adjust, measure - then repeat for each corner (I'd mark the coil over so you know your high & low settings... Or progressive springs in the rear to help mitigate a big drop in suspension. Air ride, as you mentioned, is ideal for this. But costly and noisy with compressors etc. I'm also pretty sure you could trade your MY-P suspension for someone's MY-LR suspension. The 2021-22 model years without the new MY comfort suspension may be a bit stiffer. I don't know specs for springs.. but that's my 2 cents on it.
