N2itive Alignment Kit 1 for 2017 MX

[ckwong]

Have anybody had these installed in the NY/NJ area? I'm trying to check what the cost will be to install this kit on a 2017 MX and what your experience has been. I have 22" aftermarket rims and installed Michelin Pilot Sports 4S in March 2021 and just changed it out to my winter tires and both rear tires are shot on the inside area. I got very lucky it didn't blow out on me. Thank you

Curious as well, I'm waiting for my backorder to arrive. Don did suggest a place in LI so I assume some have had it done.

Don suggested 2 places, one in LI and one in PA. Don said the owner of the LI shop installed it on his own MX so I'm waiting for him to reply back with some info.

Got my updated kit in. I’m in the Bay Area and have a shop installing for $525

Anyone installed the Unplugged Performance adjustable camber arms? I think they are quite robust, I don´t like the N2itive solution with the "welded"? connection to the adjustable side bushing. If it is welded, how to ensure it is correct? Failure have to be dramatic!

Just got back from my install of the N2itive Alignment Kit. Had it done by Mike Campi of Charged Up Performance in Hatboro, PA. Mike is super professional, excellent communication, and not your typical get your car in and out type of shop. Really took his time and was even in touch with Don Ryan (founder of N2itive) to make sure everything is tuned to spec. Car is so smooth now and no more shudder and no need to worry about early tire wear. Here are a few photos from the install.

Looks like you got the lowering links, the camber arms, and the toe arms (Alignment Kit 1). Can you let me know:
- Are your suspension settings now set to Standard suspension height, or Low suspension height?
- If the car is lowered compared to stock height and there is less suspension travel, do you notice ride quality is more comfortable, less comforable, or the same on bumpy roads?
Any info is appreciated, Thanks.

Hi, I think there may be some confusion. We don't do any welding with the bushings. The only part that is welded on the new design is the 10mm ball that is attached to our new stainless bracket. Getting this ball to be in the exact correct place was something we spent some time developing a process for. Long story short, it is guided into position using lasers and then fish scale welded into place. Accuracy is within 1/20mm.

Sorry, but I was not quite sure if it was welded or not, often they are.

How is the threaded part attached to the part with the rubber bushing? Is it machined altogether in one piece?

I too had the N2itive Alignment Kit 1 installed a few weeks back on a 2018 MX P100D. Wow, what a difference. Similar to ckwong's feedback, the car feels much smoother and more responsive to turns. I'm told it's due to the stiffer/firmer bushings in the N2itive kit, you defiantly feel the difference. No more acceleration shudder.

The car's alignment was done at the "Low" height setting and the ride comfort is the same as OEM.

Can you share the spec Don shared with you on the kit?

It sounds like you're talking about the rod end. This is all forged out of one piece of chromoly. I'm not aware of any better or stronger way to make the rod end. If there was then this is exactly what we would be doing. We don't spare expenses on processes to save a few pennies with any of our products. It does actually mention on the website that we don't use any welded components for anything structural.

Also the bushing in the rod end side is not rubber it is spherical. It is pressed into the rod end on some versions and and others the rod end and the spherical bushing have been combined into one piece.

If you have any other questions please let me know.

From N2itive's SX-1, TSX-1 & RSX-1 Installation Guide | Tesla Aftermarket Parts:

*I reccomend going to the site and finding the instructions in case they should change these for any reason or use different specifications on a different kit/generation.

How much did the installation cost you guys at the shop?

I paid $800 which includes alignment and took around 5-6 hrs to do.
