I have just lowered my suspension. One problem is when entering the parking under my building the under carage under the front wheels catch.

Do the MPP comfort coilovers ride better even at the same height as stock? I thought they had to be lowered at least slightly for optimal ride comfort.

I feel it rides better after raising. I went by MPP's suggested height per their install instructions.

I am going to look into making the slope more gentle either with some sort of rubber wedge thing of grinding a bit of the concrete down. I could also try to change my tires, but just purchased them, so not that keen on that idea. I love everything about the lowering, the handling, the look and more economic, it's worth trying to keep. They were not sleeves, they were complete new springs so can't be adjusted.

I have just lowered my suspension on my Model 3. I love the way it handles and looks. One problem is when entering the parking under my building the under carriage by the front wheels catch and scrape. You hear a metal scraping noise. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm surprised nobody has given the obvious answer..... move.

Jeopardizing your battery pack for stance life.

I was thinking about this recently, but isn’t the battery pack inside the chassis? I.e., isn’t the order of things ground>plastic skid plates>metal chassis>batteries? I mean, the batteries aren’t hanging off of the bottom of the car like ICE exhaust pipes, right?

I ripped up a part of my concrete ramp and started again! Cost me about $300 but WELL worth it in my opinion! Hated having to go in at angles and very slowly...afterwards I just drove in/out normally.

It’s right on top of the plastic cover.

I totally get the desire - if for only the aesthetic affect - to lower a car. I've done it on a number of rides, but even when done as right as possible, it often compromises the "streetability".

My plan is to leave my M3P stock (since it's already dropped a bit), swap from a 235/35 to a 255/35 to reduce the gap a bit. Would I love to see it with a 1" drop? Sure, but the cost/use/etc., issues that come with that, I'm kind of not into that any longer (i.e., "You kids get off my lawn!!" )
