no. I’ve lowered mine to 40. Ride is still bouncy. It’s just not a great suspension.
The ride is not good firm. At least on the non-performance, it’s a bad combo of firm, with a lack high speed control.
I couldn’t disagree more. The suspsension on the Model 3 isn’t an excellent sports
suspension. It’s an “ok” stiff suspension with not a lot of ride control when the inputs start to get more intense.
I’ve owned quite a few performance cars, some stock, some modded. My current weekend car is a 911 Carrera S. It honestly has a better ride than my Model 3. And far better handling. A sporty suspension shouldn’t be overly stiff. BMW’s of the 89’s and 90’s that defined the “Ultimate Driving Machine” tagline weren't overly stiff. They were all comfortable cruisers that had excellent body control. The whole “sporty = stiff” started about 15 years ago and has gotten progressively worse as wheels have gotten larger, tire sidewalks smaller, and rides worse.
The Model 3 suffers from having overly stiff springs while also being under damped. This leads to a flinty, bouncy ride but at higher speeds, the control starts to erode. It feels “sporty” because it’s stiff, but if you’ve ever driven a really well set up sports suspension, you’ll know the Model 3 isn’t it.
I’ve heard good reports about aftermarket coilovers. A buddy of mine who owns and has tracked both his M3P and his 911
GT3 has just installed the MPP Sports and reported what other have reported: better ride AND more control and composure. I’m looking forward to trying a set locally and then pulling the trigger.
