For most people, sticking with the Ohlins setup out of the box is just fine. However, if you have a specific Swift or H&R spring you like, we can get them for you.
Not sure, we haven't had any requests to lift a Y with the Ohlins kit yet, just lower.
the rear R&T damper only has 120mm of stroke vs 160 for the stock one and the stock springs have no preload adjustment before coil bind. If you remove 2 of the 10mm spacers then you get 140mm. You would need longer springs front and rear to get a lift over MYP levels.
New Ohlins street has longer springs and might actually have some spring adjustment range. The damping is very good for a street setup vs the R&T that's only good for the track.
You have to reposition the division piston in the rear damper when you remove the external spacers though. Do absolutely not remove them without doing that, and of course the reason they are there, not without getting a spring with more stroke.
The Street tuned have a lot of adjustments in height. But not +10mm lift in the front. They will coil bind if preloaded that much.
The R&T is very much in line with the rest of their R&T products for BMW and Porsches etc.

Are you sure that they are stock R&T? Redwood has customized Ohlins versions that are different and they have a wide range of longer springs.

I like being able to clear rocks. Also, the springs are so stiff on the RT, I don't bottom out. I'm sure it'd be better on the track to drop it down. Might even improve the ride with these springs. I'm not sure about reduced compression travel. I guess I'll take your word for it. Not sure how I'd measure it.
Don’t worry, if done correctly you haven’t lost any more compression travel than what the R&T kit was designed for. If you extend the shock length the same amount (compensated for the motion ratio) as you have raised the vehicle you get the same compression travel.

My assumption is that Redwood knows their stuff. I'm exploring options with them. The reason I felt comfortable going with the RT is that I know I hit some darn hard bumps, and I don't want to bottom out.

Systems feature a monotube damper structure designed for heightened response, with strengthened inverted struts and aluminum body shocks that are lightweight and aid in cooling.
With the Öhlins Road & Track suspension for Tesla, you can expect a superior ride quality and elevated comfort over a variety of conditions and uses. The combination of premium features and options to fine-tune your performance result in the ultimate suspension package for daily drivers and weekend warriors alike.
The Features of DFV Technology
So what is DFV? It is Dual Flow Valve technology – and it sets us apart from our competitors. Only Ohlins has DFV technology on its road and track products.
With DFV, the dual flow valve gives the same characteristics on rebound as it does on compression, thanks to the damper fluid having a consistent path of flow in both directions. This means that the wheel and tyre can quickly and effectively resume their important position back on the ground, providing grip and traction. The new Öhlins R&T range uses DFV technology on every single fitment, making it the perfect upgrade for the enthusiast that needs comfort and agility in the one unit.
