New UP coil overs for M3Performance, think they screwed up items

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Received a set of coil overs from Unplugged Performance yesterday for my 2020 Model 3 Performance. Installed the right front one, torqued everything down. Was getting ready to do the other front and the rears today. Then a package from UP showed up overnight Saturday delivery. Contained another set of what appears front springs from UP. Now I’m really confused. Tried contacting them, but no answers to my phone calls or email. I don’t want to go further until I’m confident they sent me the correct parts.

Springs that came with the coil overs have “UPTMY.D.FSA.2 0920” imprinted.

Springs that showed up today have “UPTM3 .D .RSA. 1 0720” imprinted on them.

Springs delivered today have same diameter where springs rest on bottom of coil-over, but larger top diameter. New springs are also shorter overall in length, uncompressed, but have same number of coil windings

Here’s a picture of what i hope is the proper spring, properly installed.

Ok. Figured out my issues. Eddy from UP called me. That’s good customer service. Thanks Eddy!!!

In my excitement to install the coil overs i failed to completely unwrap all the packaging. The springs delivered today are for the rear, which was not in the box delivered yesterday. I never unwrapped/opened the inner box for the rears and assumed they had springs inside the packaging. Nope.

In regards to the front spring, which I assumed was for a Model Y, I was correct. Sounds like the model Y front springs are interchangeable with the Model 3 Coil over springs. Eddy said that future production of the front coil over springs from Hyperco will no longer have a 3 or a Y marked on them, to avoid confusion.
