MountainPass Performance Comfort Coilovers

[gundarx]

#gundrarx. Do you think you where able to get in specs cause you installed the control arms etc.

Has anybody in this thread just dump the their car and wasn’t getting the alignment report you were expecting. I would hate to spend another 2 to fix this.

.

I only have the coilovers and adjustable rear camber arms which is really all Jesse @MountainPass recommends for non-track use.

Thanks @gundarx. Waiting for my MPP Coil overs is really making me overthink things. I just want them to ship

I'm hoping since I'm only going to lower to MYP levels (maybe 1/2 inch lower) I will not need adjustable rear camber arms. The stock MY adjustments is good enough.

I ordered the Camber Arms and Coils too. Should be great for street driving

Patiently waiting

I have coils and camber arms too. I'm fine with the front camber since it's where id expect with max recommended drop and there's not much adjustment anyway. My rear toe is really my only concern. I think they just used the wrong specs since I came upon Barrygold's old spec sheets and apparently they're different from 19/20 vs the 21s. I guess I'll just go back and get it readjusted.

Are the rear toes adjustable for the Y from the factory?

Yes, via an eccentric adjustment bolt!

Without = Ford Focus RS
With = BMW X5

As a past owner of two X5s, I can tell you that there is a huge difference from one X5 to the next. Standard X5 suspension rides like a Lincoln Continental. Top tier X5 adaptive suspension drives like a Porsche - well maybe not that good but almost perfect as you can get.

So, thought I might be pushing my luck by installing a front spoiler. Prior to install, twice I’ve slightly scraped the driver side of the lowest part of the front bumper (the parts that slopes down in front of the tires). Actually, my brother is responsible for one of those scrapes.

It’s been installed for about a week now. Pleased to announce I’ve had zero issues on my normal route and driveways with the lowest recommended drop + front spoiler.

R means Right and L means Left!

The dampers come set where they were left from the shock dyno test at KW, so never assume they are good to go! Sometimes shops adjust them backwards too, so we made a video showing which way to turn them.

FYI didn’t have the L or R.

I realized today one unexpected benefit of lowering the Y is much-improved rear trunk opening, at least for my garage (standard height for new construction- 7' 3" in my case). I think mine is lowered about 1.1" from factory MYP height, but due to design of car's hatch, I was able to raise the opening much more than that would suggest. For my height, no longer have to duck under to get groceries.

If you've lowered your MY and have programmed your trunk opening height as not to hit your garage door, don't forget to reprogram it.

Hey fellas, have you ever come to a website and come across a link where you know you really shouldn't click on but you click on it anyway.
That's how I feel about this thread. Dang it! I'm in the middle of my Taco build (yes, the antithesis of Tesla). I lift my truck, now I wanna drop my Tesla.
KW (and MPP) is this ish - I ran them on my Audis back in the day and they were so nice.

My wife took the MYP on a mini road trip from oc to la. She called me midway to tell me that the ride is so much better and totally worth the cost. This is on the recommended settings too which seem to be stiffer than a lot of people run.
