Lowering kit for a Model X

[RicoDaMan]

I did it last month. Looks so mean. Getting new rims soon so mind the 20's. I plastidipped all the chrome myself to give it a stealthier look and tinted my windows dark. lowers it by an inch or so. It was worth every penny. View attachment 263939View attachment 263940

how long did you extend the linkages? i don't want my wheels tucked but i was it just below the wheel wells. i read each turn is 5mm of drop

I don’t know. Unplugged Performance did it for me.

These aren't linkages. They are brackets that relocate the sensors.

So basically all they do is trick the car into thinking it's higher than it actually is?

Precisely.

I've since decided not to lower my MX. Instead, I had the alignment adjusted while in the VERY LOW setting and figured I'd drive around like that for a while to see if I could live with the wheel gap being not great, but better. I was very pleased (and surprised) at how close to OEM alignment specs they were able to get even in that lowest setting. It's been 3-months now and I no longer have plans to lower it.

Since it's been many months how has your tire wear held up?

I just swapped my summer tires for winters on Friday and tire wear was very even. It’s only been a couple months though.

As an update to my decision a few months back to stick with OEM Very Low instead of Unplugged lowering brackets...I have changed my mind. Still looking for a more tucked look. I ordered the brackets last weekend.

My tire wear is good after having it lowered for more than 3 months/5000+ launches and speeds that are quite illegal. Worth $500 and i drive in low and park in very low. Getting 22s next week
