H&R Lowering Springs for Tesla Model 3 4WD incl. performance 30/30mm part no. 28659-1

Thanks. Just started the order. Doing it through Les Schwab Tires. Got a discount on the springs, install and alignment will be under $800. Was going to DIY but that price makes it worth me letting them do it. Looking forward to it, I’ve got the referral wheels on. Just need to change the caliper colors and be done for a bit.

Nice. I just called my local Les Schwab and they wanted about $1000 for everything.

$475 for the springs
$400 for installation
$110 for alignment

That’s high. Springs were also around that price for me. What state are you in?

 

[Svkool]

Springs are expensive H&R €219 also the installation is overpriced

I’m in Oregon. I bought the H&R springs for about $300 shipped but $500-600 seems to be the going rate here for installation and alignment. I might as well DIY at this point.

Yes agreed it’s the perfect drop when compared with other springs.

I only had the car a couple of weeks before I had the springs installed and it has been a year and a half now. UnPlugged is about 100 miles away from my home, so I paid close attention to the ride on the way to get them installed and definitely noticed a significant improvement in ride quality on the way home.

Love the fit of the wheels and tires. What offset are those rims? Are you using any spacers?

Also have you had any problems with the springs? How is NVH? Are the springs quite or are you getting clicking with them as others have reported? I'm trying to decide on UP Milds vs TSportlines. I want minimal drop with improved street feel, and no more bucking fore/aft oscillations from the crap standard setup.

Where did everyone get your H&Rs from? Looking for the best price shipping to SoCal. Thanks!

Wheel offset is +30, no spacers. I've had no issues with NVH. Over the course of 20 months and 8 track days I have experienced no strange clicking or popping sounds. I still plan to get coilovers for on-track performance eventually, but for less than $700, including tax and installation, the mild springs have been a worthwhile interim option.

The best price I could find was $308 shipped from Redline360 after using coupon code "CART".

Nice find. Going to see if they'll match it.

Yeah, that was the lowest I found too. Thanks.
