This definitely helps the Y look a little less like the 3s chubby step brother.. good choice

Model Y lowering springs

I think you asked this of me but for some reason I never received it. Just saw it now. I got it painted at a buddy's body shop in Santa Ana, CA. If they prep it right, then the paint will stick. The mud guards help protect it

I messaged you before and called around as Eibach are currently back ordered. Also called the place that did your install and he definitely was trying to convince me to do the coil overs he sells and said most folks that he installs the lowering springs come back and has him install the coil overs because of the poor ride quality of the lowering springs? The coil overs were over $4000 with installation.
What's your opinion?
I have just about everything suspension in stock. Eibach springs, KW and MPP Coilovers, you name it.

Thanks Tom for being extremely informative regarding the Eibach springs and Mountain Pass Coilovers. The Eibach springs you sold and installed for my new MSM Model Y is the perfect drop I was looking for to fill some of the gap especially in the rear without having to put 21's on. I do not notice any ride difference at all! Thanks again and will be watching your new products that you sell for Tesla vehicles.

Appreciate the feedback! Here's some shots we were able to take, the sun really shows off the metallic flake in the PPF.

I'd really like an in between option. I don't want to run lowering springs on stock shocks. I also don't need a 2 way adjustable KW MPP coilover at 3k. I feel there should be a good $1,500 coil over option that is optimized for the street and non adjustable shock...

Curious if you had a shop install or did this yourself. Saw you mention santa ana i’m nearby in garden grove.
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 removal ?Regarding the settling, here's a photo after one month/~500 miles on the Eibach setup. I did some before and after measurements as well, and I may have gained 1/8" to 1/4" in the rear, but the fronts measured almost exactly the same. Regardless, much better than before!
