Model Y lowering springs
- Thread starter mcarrio
- Start date
Did the lowering change the aerodynamics? Change range? What's your ground clearance now?
No noticeable change for me in regards to range. You can find before and after measurements in this thread:
Eibach Pro-Kit
Lowered my MYLR with Eibach Pro-Kit, moderate drop at 1.1 front and 1.5 rear. Ride is stiffer, not bouncy and much more comfortable than stock. Took me and a few buddies 3 hours to install, really easy as long as you have the right tools.

It does change the aerodynamics which helps reduce drag so that’ll help improve range. Probably not by much. I haven’t measured the new ground clearance but it the springs dropped it about 1.5” all around.

Looks much better than my crappy Unplugged Performance lowering springs. Not only can you not tell a difference in the look of the car (it lowered the car about 1/4", but it also makes a loud springy sound every time I make a low speed turn. Really regret wasting money on them.
I had the UPP on order and as soon as Eibach came out with there’s I canceled my UPP order. Eibach had them in stock to. So far so good. Decent ride and no squeaks pr other noises. Painting the side skirt makes it look lower too.

We have two MYPs, one with the UPP lowering springs and one without. Looking at them side by side you can't tell which one is lowered (a year after the installation of the lowering springs). We were going to get both of them lowered but we thought we'd wait and see the difference first. Glad we waited because it was a total waste of money. Not only can you not see a difference but the UPP springs make a loud embarrassing springy sound when we make low speed turns. The springs were installed by the shop UPP recommended.
To confirm, it doesn't appear that there have been any posts regarding an MYP on Eibach springs yet.

I installed my springs back in late December, and will measure and update if any settling has occurred. Visually, it looks the same today as the day I lowered it. Here’s where I posted pictures:

I like the Eibach springs a lot. Just installed them on MYLR and have driven about 100 miles on them so far and the ride performance definitely has not decreased. A little bit stiffer, but I like the feel of them. Here’s a before and after.

I should be installing these eibach springs in a week or so on my 21 MY Performance! So far I’m only seeing these installed on MY LR models. I’ll give you guys a before and after but it may be a more drastic change since I’m also changing to smaller wheels! Just waiting on delivery of my new wheels!
