T-Sportline - maybe a bit too subtle being only 1". But if you want the slight lowered height with less chance of bottoming out, may be the way to go. "This porridge is too cold" UnPlugged - some reports of reverse rake for certain cars and some noise issues. Don't like the fact they need plastic noise isolators around coils as they can eventually shift or wear out over time leading to noise problems again. "This porridge is too hot!" Eibach - noticeable drop that looks nice and maintains ride quality. No noise issues. Have not bottomed out anywhere yet and have noticed a slight efficiency gain as well as flatter cornering. "Ahhh, this porridge is just right"
yes...they were trimmed to the first "nub" Btw I did get on it a little today. The high speed floating seems definitely to be less.
I found floating less as well. Dip in pavement on a certain wide angle ramp I usually take at 90-100mph with a slight "shift" of the rear end. No more "shifting" of the rear end.
Can anyone comment on Tsportline ride quality after 9-12 months of ownership? Did they settle lower? Do you have issues with bottoming out with a lot of passengers or rubbing/scraping?
Are some of these setups really resulting in a more comfortable ride? I've had several lowered cars in the past with different set ups (Eibach Sportlines with stock shocks, Ground Control coilovers with Koni Yellows, KW V2 coilovers, Fortune Auto 500 coilovers)...while none of them "ruined" the ride quality I never thought of them as more comfortable either.
I'm on eibach's and the ride quality is still very comfortable. It now has less body roll and is still very compliant without being harsh on the dampers. As for lowering the car, I think it brings the ride height to an acceptable level. I still have a two finger gap in the front and rear fenders. So I think "lowering" a Tesla brings about a misconception that might lead people to visualize "slamming" a Tesla.
Is there any point in an P- considering moving to P suspension, or should I just go after market coilovers? Not looking to lower due to driveway issues, but not enjoying the floating and roll of the AWD suspension with P power.
No. AM all the way coils or springs. Coilovers are overkill unless you're tracking a lot and want to maintain the components if you drive/live in salt belt areas of the country. Eibach on my 3 are perfect with zero issues of scraping and fantastic ride quality.
T Sportline here. As mentioned do your research and you’ll have a 95% approval rating of them. I cannot speak for others but if you don’t want to redo your suspension...I’d stick to popular opinion.
Just had Unplugged Performacne Mild spring installed on my SR+ on Wednesday. Ride quality is good and I can't tell the difference from stock. Went from a 4 finger gap to a 2 finger gap.
