Model Y lowering springs

[Simans82]

Just curious, are these the Turbine 21 or 20" induction ? I just ordered the lug cover and center caps. Just wanted to confirm the center caps and lug cover will work on my 20 Induction MYLR as well.. I really like that look over the original big center cover. Also, did you see any mileage difference with the the mod

They’re the OEM 21” Uberturbines. I have no data regarding the mileage.

This looks sick - nice n stealth! Great upgrades.

Question, what is the contraption in the middle seat? Is that a booster / car seat?
Also, where did you get the blackout emblems (T and DM badge) from?

Thanks a lot!

Not sure what item you're referring to.

We carry the Dual Motor badges in stock, badges are OEM painted black.

The middle section is folded down and you are seeing the back of the driver's seat. LOL I had to look at it awhile to finally see that...

Hey Tom, I did some Eibach springs with you a couple months ago on MY and really like the look much better than before with little to no change in ride quality! Curious on the Hansshow Swivel Tilt screen once you place it to your liking do you have to lock in place each time you move? Second question when placing spacers on do you have to do wheel alignment? I also noticed his car has the new upgraded door panels, does Hansshow make a CF for the original door panels?

Thanks, Patrick

The swivel is tight enough to remain in any position you wish, as well as has predetermined "stops" in left, center and right positions.

Alignment isn't affected with spacers, no need to worry there. This interior kit was for the facelifted Model Y while has the trim on the doors as well, they've had this option in Shanghai for some time not and it's been making its way to the US with 8/22+ builds.

If anyone has any other questions about the build, feel free to PM me directly so we don't derail the thread.

Hey Tom,

Are there springs that go lower than the Eibach I got for my Model Y Performance? Just trying to see what my options are prior to going fill coilovers.

Eibach is about it, don't have any experience with the Unplugged ones yet (usually on backorder).

Springs are good for closing the wheel gap, but coilovers will really transform how the car rides/handles. If you have the room in your budget - pull the trigger, you'll wonder why you didn't sooner.

you just sold me with your sage advice. I'll reach out to Kevin soon about these then!

I sent him a message earlier about some TE37s but he said they were a year out. I guess I shall get suspension instead! =)

I have Ohlins, MPP and KW already in stock for Model Y - we can chat and see which is best for your needs.

So wanted to report back on the Eibachs.

I’ve ridden on the for about 1000 miles now and just got the alignment done. No camber arms needed and the shop was able to fix the toe. Posting the readout here too.

Been following this thread for a while…good bits of info…thanks!

FYI for those curious about Eibach pro kits being backordered…I ordered a set on Aug 18 and received them on Sept 28.

Will be getting them installed with MPP rear camber/toe arms. I was debating if I should also do MPP Corkscrew FUCAs, but I think I’ll hold off after seeing these results. Thanks again!

Eibach is just fulfilling backorders, We just got the first half of our backorder this morning:

Have you had any problems since the installation? I am planning to get the eibach springs for my Model y LR debating if I should get the rear adjustable camber arms.

No need for rear camber arms with Eibach springs.

 

[RC_MoD_Y]

Thank you for letting me know. How do you like it so far?

Eibachs are the most popular option for those not going the full coilover route. Closes a lot of the tire gap while still retaining an oem type tide.

 

[iqviewfinder]

No camber/toe issues here either. I did get the MPP rear toe + camber arms, but stayed with the OEM FUCAs. Alignment is all in the green. FYI these are Advan RS-DF Progressive wheels in Dark Bronze Metallic, but with OEM Gemini wheel specs...for those interested in what Eibachs would look like with OEM wheels.

Thanks for the update. Nice setup!!
