MountainPass Performance Comfort Coilovers

[pandam3]

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.

I don’t use mudflaps either. I just rely on the tesla PPF that they sell to protect most of the area that gets affected.

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

Hi, Are you still at 55mm front and 6.5 rear. What about dampers, ii like things a bit firmer so plan on using 11/9 and 10/8 rear what do you think,?

 

[Ruffles]

I think I'm a little higher than that now but I don't remember the exact numbers. I'm also running the dampers soft.

Thanks,where there any problems with settings ir did you just fancy a smoother life?

No problems. I raised it up a bit for winter and haven't lowered it back down.

Finally adjusted ride height and I'm loving it but... lol now I'm getting a clicking sound when turning the wheel

Get this fixed?

Really interested in these for improved ride comfort in my 2022 MYP. Will installation of these coilovers void my Tesla warranty?

Not unless Tesla can prove they broke something.

Never seen a warranty voided due to suspension, usually they will just decline to work in that particular are, which is justifiable. However, if there are other areas that require warranty service (charging, electrical, etc), this would still be covered.

There is no one answer for every case. All sorts of variables involved like the service center, who is handling your claim, etc.

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?

I cover how to adjust them here -

There is another full install video on the channel also.

Adjusted my dampeners to 14 all around and while the ride is more cushy I’m noticing a lot of body roll. Any one try stiffer anti roll bars in conjunction with this or should I just stiffen up my dampeners?

Nope. Nooooooope. Nope. Aftermarket roll bars are for tuning balance front and rear. Oversteer. Understeer. Not for body roll.

Stiffen the dampers.

I recommend their default which is 12/10 all around. Nice balance of reasonably supple ride, good roll control and responsive handling without being too locked down or stiff. We have that setting with the Comfort coilovers on my wife's car. I've got the MPP Sport coilover set at 10/8 which is pretty firm especially in cold weather. The ride of course won't be cushy but if you're concerned about getting the best possible ride, work on getting unsprung weight down in other words replace the OEM wheels if you have them with the lightest forged wheel you can afford. Also, don't run the tires at 42 LB pressure. Around town we have ours at 35 to 38. When we go on road trips we bump up. The little bit of lost range around town is not meaningful.

 

[Pianewman]

25k miles on my MPP coilovers, installed at 9k miles.

12/10 all around is what I've settled on.

 

[Yperformance]

Oh no boy I know this will cause an outcry. I tried all the setting between 12 and 5 ended up very happy with 7/7 all round on my MYP Feels nice and tight . Not as harsh as I expected only found this out driving to and frow to an Autocross event. I am running fairly low at about 1.25 inch tire gap all round on 285/35/20 wheels. Don't carry passengers very often but no touching.

7/7, wow, that's pretty stiff. Comfort coilovers or performance?

I have my comforts set around 12-ish and can second the advice above about tire pressure. Any car will feel more harsh with tires pumped to 40+ psi.
The cold weather affects suspensions alot, so if anyone thinks they may want to set it a bit stiffer, you could just wait for the temps to drop

 

[Yperformance]

I know especially in the NE but on broken pavement is seems more settled, there are bumps naturally but just much better controlled perhaps it's my Porcge, BMW heritage, ha

I actually have the same question as the other form member. Do you have comfort or sport coilovers on your Model Y? 7/7 would be brutally stiff on my car but I have the Sport coilovers with stiffer Springs and where a given setting on the valving is also stiffer than it would be on the Comfort Adjustable set. I have to assume that you have the Comfort adjustable kit but please advise.

 

[Yperformance]

Sure thing Comfort adjustable , if they did a sports kit for model y would probably switch it out. With rollbars, wide wheels and tire loosing nearly 85 lbs in unsprung weight 5/5 all round was not too bad on Autocross course.

 

[Finisher604]

I just had MPP installed on my LRY and wow the difference from lowering spring in my model 3 on 20” to coil-overs on 22” on the Y is astounding. Love them.
