How does traction and stability control cope with modified suspension?

The traction and stability control of my previous car, a 300+ hp Mazdaspeed 3, was really confused by the lowered coilovers, big ARBs, and sticky tires. The calibration expected a certain behavior and had no adaptability. It pulled power when I needed it and did really weird things with the brakes when I was pushing the car. I simply disabled everything every time I drove it.

I have just ordered coilovers and ARBs for my P3D. I would like to hear others experience with modified suspension and if the Tesla traction/stability control is adaptive enough to avoid unwanted effects.
 
I have not felt any ill effects or changes in behavior from the traction control and stability management systems after installing the Mountain Pass Performance Sport coilovers.

If anything, there is less need for those systems to even come on now with the increased amount of mechanical grip.
