MountainPass Performance Comfort Coilovers

[pandam3]

Looks awesome, any issues with the coilovers? Squeaks etc?

Zero issues on either car. Well, on the Mod3 I still keep gettting people asking if it’s a Performance 3.

That looks great! What wheels are those I just realized why your Y looks different, the rocker panels and fender lips are painted or wrapped white.

Thanks! The wheels are BC Forged. 21X10.5 295/30 & 22X12 335/25. Yes, all of the lower trim has been painted body color.

Trying to raise my front on my coil overs.. got one full rotation in before I'm unable to rotate anymore... Any suggestions to why this might be?

You've got the car on jacks right? While I think you can gain access with the wheels turned, with the full weight of the car on them, I don't think you can adjust them.

So I need the jack up both sides in the front.. I ran into this issue when I was raising the rear.. I’ll try this today

That's how I do it. Let us know how it goes.

The rear is easier if you unbolt the spring arm and reduce the pressure on the spring! At low ride heights it can be turned when installed, but at higher ride heights I prefer to take an extra minute to make my life easier.

I had to jack both driver and passenger side in order to adjust ride height for the front of the car. Jacking only one side put weight in the coils and I couldn’t turn the perch to my desired height.

FYI - Tesla service manuals are free at the moment, so I grabbed the front and rear instructions since they have torque specs.

I’ve had these installed for 10k miles. Noticed a nice improvement while driving over the bigger bumps, but I’ve also switched from 21s to 20“ wheels. Handles awesome.

If you’re in the Tampa Bay Area (FL), I’d highly recommend going to www.lhtperformance.com/home for installation. Although they specializes in Hondas; John and his crew do amazing work.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience!

For those wondering, the recommended settings ended up destroying my rear mudflaps. But there’s no under body damage after putting a few thousand miles.
Might look into adjusting up 10 mm from recommended also- love the lowered look, but don’t like having to be super careful with these San Diego streets.

I foresee rally armor mud flaps in your immediate future

We had a little blip in stock for these kits, but they are back and ready to ship again. Sorry to anyone who had to wait a few days!

Hi, I have Abstract Ocean I was wondering how high they need to be off the ground to be safe.

No answer for this. Speed bumps (which are usually the issue) vary greatly in height. The only correct answer would be...don't install mudflaps.
