Lowering the Model 3

[pdx_m3s]

Actually, H&Rs are 1.2" all around.

30mm = 1.2"...

 

[Joe_P3D]

D'oh. Sorry, had UPs 38mm in my head for some reason.

 

[Tholland]

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

Yeah that’s what I paid I believe.

H&R, Love them.View attachment 550937

1.2 drop huh. Seems perfect


How long have you had these on? No issues? I really want to get some springs soon but my car has been maintenance free the past 9 months so If I do get it lowered I don't want to all of the sudden be dealing with issues because of simply lowering it

That's my car(literally)! I love the finished product. I was very hesitant and naturally skeptical of any improvement in ride while also dropping the car. I noticed a difference in ride quality with out a doubt. I had the newer spring set up from Tesla and over 1,000 miles on them for reference. I could immediately tell the difference driving down the road from their shop. The small variations in the road, and hitting that bumpy railroad crossing next to the Hyperloop pod tester was definitely absorbed better with these moderate springs. I haven't cornered too hard or put that secondary rate to the test, but first impressions were extremely positive. Good product. I definitely recommend them. PM me if you have any questions. I'll answer as best I can. As an added plus, they answered all of my questions, returned my annoying emails and were obviously familiar with everything Tesla. They worked with my tight schedule and got the install done quickly(closer to 2hours than 3). Keep up the good work!

Did you have problems with clearance?

No issues. Don't worry - it's not slammed.

Cool. But wait, I have an SR+. Would these work and have the same drop on mine?

 

[Mr X]

Here is my SR+ lowered on UP Moderate springs. Installed BLOX 15/20mm spacers as well. Haven't noticed much of a change in driving dynamics, but it looks a lot better.

Hey after a year now how has your car been with the Moderate drop? I'm getting real close to deciding on springs for my SR+ and I really admire the Moderate drop the most. I really should just pick some springs and go through with this. Taking forever for me to decide!

Grab them. Tons of people on FB and here like them.

For H&R they do one part number for both

What’s your hub to fender measurements in cm/mm? Love both the h&r and Eibach drop for the P

Coilovers are always the better option. I put the UP Mild springs on my 2018 LR RWD right after I got it in Sept 2018. For the cost, they have been a decent option. I like the look of the ~1" drop, and they feel better than stock on the street, AX and at the track. But, they are not a great long-term solution. To take it to the next level requires full coilover replacement so that you have dampers that match the springs.

I just lowered my long range RWD with TSportline springs and have some rear rake going on. The rears are about a half inch lower than the fronts, which really annoys me. I lowered an AWD with the TSportline springs, and the gaps were perfect front to back. I am wondering, does it take time for this to settle? Anyone else have an issue with the RWD springs from them?

 

[diggity]

So, TSportline told me that they have never had a problem with their springs and that I should contact the installation shop. Install shop said that the spring installation is straight forward. So I am not sure. I am hoping that if I give it a week, they will settle. But, I really didn't like TSportline's response to me as they didn't know what could cause the reverse rake from installation. Overall, the fingers pointing at each other doesn't leave me feeling all that great. Any input or thoughts or suggestions is very much appreciated.

What are the actual measurements from the centre of the wheel to the edge of the fender at each corner?

 

[diggity]

So, rear is 15" the front is 15" from center to left corner, and 15.5 from center to right corner.

What do you mean by left corner and right corner?
You're saying both rears are 15" and one of the fronts is 1/2" higher?

 

[diggity]

Rear tire measures from center to left side of fender: 15" to right side of fender: 16" to top edge of fender: 14.50"
Front tire measures from center to left side of fender: 15" to right side of fender: 16" to top edge of fender: 15.25"
