I am very honored and excited to be the first consumer outside of MSS to be fitted with the MSS Sport Height adjustable spring kit. Having previously had their kits installed on my 2017 Golf R that I loved and enjoyed, I knew this was going to be a good performing kit. When I heard they are releasing a solution for the model 3 platform I knew I had to check it out!

So what makes this kit great? The height adjustment is great, being able to raise and lower each corner to suit your driving needs. The trick stacked spring on the rear will be what gives the great comfort on city commutes and at the same time being able to feel well planted when thrown into a corner at a rapid speed.
Below I will be expressing my experience and height information based on the 1000km I have driven on this kit.
The stock performance setup definitely had very stiff springs and made the ride very bumpy over city roads. I was on the hunt for a solution. Usually the cure involves shocks or bags, but in this case MSS may have a solution without the need to replace perfectly usable factory shocks!
This is how the contents arrive in this beautiful box.
Installation was no more difficult than any other spring kits for our platform. More pieces but it is straight forward to figure out.
Here is the magic piece that allows the height adjustment. About a 1.4 Inch adjustability.
The Rear stack springs formation
Here is a photo prior to the install.
Post install at the lowest settings of the adjustment came out to be a 1.3inch even drop on all corners.
Below photo was taken after a 2km commute home.
I was able to have the springs settle for another 0.3 Inch drop after 750 KM of driving.
I am very pleased at the cosmetic results of the kit. It provided the drop I needed from a 3.5 finger gap to a 1 finger gap.
The special part of this kit is that it will allow you to achieve cosmetic results AND performance enhancements from just a spring kit.
Immediately felt on the short 2 km drive home was the soft spring rates kicking in. Small dips and uneven pavement is no longer felt. The around town comfort has definitely improved.
Some quick turns while carrying speed instantly made me feel more confident and planted.
Very amazing to have both increased comfort and performance just from a spring kit.
The stacked spring helps with rebound and compression without any modifications to the shock.
Over the 1000 km drive on my usual commutes and spirited driving routes, I noticed that big dips and bumps will make the car hit the bump stops, however this is not a problem with this spring kit as with any other lowered cars with springs would have this problem.
Other notes I saw was that due to the softer spring rates on the rear, the rear axle will go lower than other springs with additional weight from rear passengers.
As always I felt that MSS did deliver on the product and exceeded my expectations. I would not expect anything more from a spring kit.
