How to lower a Model 3?

[arty]

I just got a text from Tesla saying my model 3 will be ready in 2 weeks and I'm getting some mods lined up for the car. I purchased a bunch already like the charging pad and center console wrap. I'm wondering what springs is the best to lower these cars?

If you guys have photos of your model 3's lowered on springs, please post them up so I can see what they look like.

There is a thread(s) on this. People like the Unplugged Performance and Eibach springs.

Not necessarily unless it's slammed to ground on coilovers. UP offers 2 height levels and even the Eibach sport is not REALLY low. (think stock Corvette, 911, etc...)

I would recommend the Eibach springs. This was the only lowering spring manufacturer which recommends trimming bump stops. The springs are stiffer but the ride is more composed and handles bumps better. I believe it is because of the trimmed bump stops.

...I believe it is because of the trimmed bump stops.

The trimmed bump stops only give you more travel at the extreme where your shock is close to fully compressed. Trimming reduces the chance of the harsh impact when you are nearly fully compressed giving you more travel space. The composition and handling has nothing to do with bump stop trimming on regular driving situations.
