the compression rod bushing and the lower control arm bushing were both torn in less then 15k miles, is that adequate longevity with no track time? the lower control arm deterioration was not acceptable, and would have failed inevitably....You're replacing every single joint in the suspension because you have no faith in them? How do you evaluate an aftermarket part to be better for sure?
While it's no 911, I don't think I've heard anyone call the Model 3 handling "trash." In fact, the car is so fast it's in SCCA's top stock class (with GT3s and GT4s). I'm interested, what alignment parameter do you think is varying over loads that causes this poor handling?
I have 500+ AutoX runs, many on very sticky tires, and I have never once heard this.
(no track time, and i went through eagle f1 supercar 3s and hankook RS4s in a couple thousand miles, i drive really hard, all the time)
those bushings were designed to tune out NVH, while MPP designed them for performance....i dont see where my theory is flawed.
even if MPP parts last the same as factory, at least the performance is enhanced.
its only top of its class because of the electric motors....not because of the handling per se, the understeer is aggressively present, and aggressively reduced with bearings over bushings.
Under heavy braking, i could literally feel the wheels shaking, and losing far too much steering input. My guess was that heavy braking/turning loads is totally washing out any toe alignment I had.
