Absolutely massive difference. This is the first time the car has actually felt like it’s mine.

MMP comfort coils with front perch height 53mm, 12mm rear.
Wow, that's pretty f-ing fantastic. So UPP comfort coilovers (is that the fixed or adjustable), and if you don't mind disclosing it, what is your wheel/tire spec (especially the offset, the stance is just perfect).
Yes Sir! Thank you
Its the non adjustable comfort coils from Mountain Pass Performance. (MPP)
Tires: DWS06+ 245/35/20
Wheels: BC forged HCS21 20x9 +28f 20x9 +18r
For the same fitment on a performance model, add 3mm of offset to compensate for thinner rotor hat, so +25/+15
9" gives a nice gentle stretch on the 245s. Its enough tire that I don't loose any traction. Any wider and it will just be heavier with more rolling resistance. In all fairness I could have maybe done 8.5" with 235s and achieve the same results. There was no cost difference for the wheels. However, the 245 tires seemed to be easier to come by and cost a bit less, so I went this route.Any reason why you went with square 9s instead of 9.5s or wider?
@Clun9 - also, note that a square setup allows you to rotate tires front to rear as well to help even out tire wear9" gives a nice gentle stretch on the 245s.

Right but being a not a mechanical AWD on the dual motor setups I always wanted to go staggered. On my SQ5 I'm running 295/40R20s on a 20x10.5 square of course and my S4, I am running a 255/35R19 19x10.@Clun9 - also, note that a square setup allows you to rotate tires front to rear as well to help even out tire wear

Why do you want to go staggered? square is better for handling on the model 3 as well.Right but being a not a mechanical AWD on the dual motor setups I always wanted to go staggered. On my SQ5 I'm running 295/40R20s on a 20x10.5 square of course and my S4, I am running a 255/35R19 19x10.
Understood. Although 235s on a 8.5 is already a stretch. Traditionally 245-255s are recommended on a 8.5 depending on tire brand as some run wider than others.
The tire wear in the video was caused by having significant toe-out, not camber.Has everyone had adjustable camber arms fitted or is the incident in the video due to something else? My model 3 is lowered with eibach springs and with the 18' wheels I have no problems. I am planning 20' wheels next summer but want to avoid the following.
Any thoughts?
Question for you did your noises wind up going away?Any SR+ owners out there with Eibach?
I have some brand new ones with the most updated part numbers. The front is totally silent, but the rears are squeaking every once in a while. Not bad - 1/10 noises. You have to listen for them. Just wondering if it’s expected?
they were installed at a tesla shop that does suspensions all day, so I don’t think it was installer error.

LOVE this!! So rare to see a lowered example with the aero covers.Here’s my set up with aero + UP moderate springs. View attachment 682163
Alignment is done. Front ended up at 1.3 degrees with these springs, which is about equivalent to the rear. The ride is pretty good. Feels stock until you hit big dips, at which point you can notice the reduced travel.I installed Eibach springs on my 2019 SR+ over the weekend. I used the tutorial Ian and Trevor put together on YouTube (see below). It went really smooth. I used their recommendation of grinding down a 13mm deep socket to unbolt the strut top hats. Also, since my car is RWD, I didn't have to unbolt the upper control arm from the knuckle. Took about 6 hours. The ride height is perfect now. A nice even fender gap all around. Will get some pics once I wash and align it.
