TMC folks, after reading through many threads, I felt compelled to share my experience with Mountain Pass Performance coilovers for my RWD M3. I wanted to wait until I had over 1,000 miles on them just to make sure that I love them – and I still do. First, let me start out by saying I had another competitors’ lowering springs installed, and I was really unhappy with the product performance and the customer service – the springs were binding/bottoming out and making a clunking noise every time I’d go over a small speed bump. I called their customer service and they were blaming the installer which really set me off. Anyhow, I ended up returning them and eating the cost of the labor to install/uninstall the springs and then purchased the MPP Sport Coilovers.
I’m not going to lie, replacing the other competitors’ lowering springs with MPP’s coilovers was a tough decision – the MPP’s are a premium product. But I figured if I'm going to keep the car, why not invest in the best product? Honestly, the determining factor for me was that MPP partnered with KW Suspensions – I think most people would agree, that KW Suspensions makes THE BEST coilovers.
I purchased the MPP RWD Model 3 Sport Coilovers. I was also torn about getting the Sport vs the Comfort coilovers at first since honestly, I’m a dad with 2 young kids. I didn’t want a rough ride with 2 young kids (and a discerning wife!). I chose the MPP Sport Coilovers as I just thought they are a better quality product. The ride is firm, but also soft. It’s kind of a weird explanation, but I’ll say that they’re so much softer than my other lowering springs, but they’re definitely firmer than a MS. I would say maybe comparable to a BMW M3… although it’s been a few years since I’ve ridden in a BMW M3. Just to note, I had a MS as a loaner for a few days from Tesla, I just felt there was way too much body roll and it felt like I was driving a boat (even though it’s a super nice car).
I had the MPP Sport Coilovers installed at MPP’s recommended dampening and ride height, I’ll say I LOVE the way my M3 looks, handles, and rides. It’s aggressive, but not “slammed”. It’s firm, but also soft. I don’t really push the car that hard since I’m mainly driving the kids around town, but I’ve had quite a few head turns and thumbs up on the road.
Here's a few pics, let me know if you have any questions.
