Good morning!
1.) For those that ordered MPP coilovers, how did you choose between them and the UPP product?
2.) A lot of people in these threads are performance-inclined. Like, you're looking to find a better local maxima of both handling and softness. I'm heavily biased towards comfort as our Y is a family daily driver. I'd probably start the suspension on max soft and work firmer from there if I needed to. In other words, I wouldn't care if the body rolled 30 degrees when I turned, so long as the potholes suck less! Anybody else in this boat? What's the subjective experience of hitting a pothole with the suspension on its softest setting? How much better than stock?
Thanks for your thoughts!
Pretty easy decision for me. MPP's service is top notch and their products have been tested and proven. The MPP units are the KW V3 system which has a good track record, no pun intended. The Model 3 owners are happy with them so it was pretty easy to make that decision. I'm not sure what UPP is using at the moment. Previously they were Hyperco springs with Ohlin shocks but I believe they have switched to Swift springs; don't quote me on that. If you read up on them, early versions had noise/chattering issues, so they were redesigned. Plus, the UPP setup is with a monotube shock design. KW V3 uses a twin-tube design and are a bit more street friendly in terms of ride comfort.Good morning!

Gonna try to tackle installing this myself Monday. Anyone go lower than what MPP recommended?
I'm gonna do it today... Had a busy busy day yesterday Hoping to get started soon, will check back to let yall know how it goes!How did your install go?
Yes and rebound also contributes because while compression stiffness prevents the outboard loaded wheel from deflecting as much rebound stiffness does the same for the inboard wheel. When you add those things to the lack of jacking because you're not getting into the bump stops nearly as much with the MPP suspension as the stock one, even the Comfort adjustable coilover kit results in less body lean over all, even set at the default 12/10. Ratcheted down from there to say 10/8 there is significantly less body roll than stock but of course you lose a little of that exceptionally Supple ride. In any case it's amazing to get both improved ride and improved handling from the MPP kits. They are the best.They swaying is probably because of the soft compression setting at 14. If you want to correct it you can just stiffen than up by a click or two.
I don’t believe this is correct. As I mentioned in my post, I went with NPP recommended settings which are 14 clicks off of Max stiffness.@gundarx totally was guesstimating. Didn't know compression was limited to 14.. Learning something new everyday.
Agreed, and well put.The car floats over joints. Previously it would be a loud, hard "thunk". No energy dissipation, just a stiff bounce. The KW shocks do a much better job than the OEM shocks.
MPP and others: can you comment on this? Is there a break in period?Vivelemond: Thanks for the initial impressions. I would assume you'll need 500-1k miles of action until the system has fully settled in???
