Lowering Springs: TSportline vs Unplugged vs Eibach

[MOD220]

Any camber issues lowering a Model 3? Other than adjustability, what are major advantage of coil over? I assume overall ride quality is far superior, and maybe don’t even need sway bars?

Here's an updated pic after swapping the TSportline with Eibach Pro-Kit springs and adding spacers (15mm front, 20mm rear). See my previous pic in this thread with TSportline.

Much happier now with the even drop and the ride quality is much improved too! They seem to ride much software with more travel and less vibration through the wheel on rougher roads.

These are stated from Eibach as a 1.3" front and 1.1" rear and I'd probably agree with that but haven't taken measurements yet.

Threw in a couple of interior shots of my completed build for kicks.

Add H&R in the mix. My write up here.

Sorry we missed this thread. A few updates:

We got Tezla1's spring noise resolved and is now a quiet ride. Thank you Tezla1 for the opportunity to make that right for you. We are terribly sorry that you had an abnormal experience with the first set but we are happy that the new set is operating as expected/designed with silence and engineered performance.

Latimerluis - All of our springs are matched exactly for the car and our LR RWD Moderates are perfectly paired for the LR RWD but are not paired for the SR battery pack. We are engineering a SR battery pack specific spring.

Aspec818 - Our moderates were tested by teslanomics on the youtube here for ride quality on the stock shocks and have since been in use on over 1000 cars over multiple years.

BigBleuu - Thanks for coming by for install. Sorry our Milds are not yet ready but we are doing some extra special engineering on our newest batch of Milds. I can guarantee you they'll be the most comfortable spring ever made for the Model 3 when they're ready. When the time comes lets talk and we can work out a deal on free labor to get you a more comfortable than stock ride. The way our Milds work with two linear spring rates allows us to go almost 30% softer on the primary spring rate (around town) and then our secondary rate still retains factory levels of firmness when g forces are loaded up on the spring. The complexity (and cost) of the engineering and production of the the dual linear rates enables this and the balance of finely tuned spring rates without performance loss just isn't possible with single linear or progressive springs. We took the hard way with a more costly engineering and development cycle which has had its challenges for sure, but the end result we stand behind 100% as the ultimate spring.

I have installed the unplugged moderate springs in my long range Model3 for about 3 months with the 20 inches referral wheels from Tesla. The car looks great but the ride is so much firmer. It’s so bouncy that make me want to switch back to the original springs but I hate the wheel gaps. I also hate that it scratches my bottom each time I come in and out of my driveway. I tried to angle the car in a couple different ways but nothing help. I might be able to get away w a scratch if it is just me in the car. I can’t avoid a scratch if there is another person in the car with me. I emailed unplugged performance for suggestions a while ago and heard nothing from them. Now I’m stuck with it. If I can do this all over again, I probably go their mild version or the t-sport springs. I’ll take 1 inch drop or less but the comfortable of the ride is still there.

The solution is coilovers.

I'm going to be going after it this weekend with some H&R's. Didn't want to mess with unplugged, and I've done H&R's on my Euro cars. It was between those and Eibach's (which I've done on my trucks).

I just did the eibachs since they were on sale with the front and rear sways on tire rack. No complaints at all, this is how the car should have come from the factory and luckily I don’t scrape on my rolled cul de sac curb on my driveway or speedbumps.
