Plaid Vibration around 38-42MPH....

Low is surprisingly pretty low on this car. Depending where you live it's either an issue or not. In Seattle it's definitely a bit of a problem with steep driveways to scrape on.

Piss poor after thought design. Recall the S was originally designed as a rear DU only car. Only later did they squeeze in a DU in the front. 3/Y were designed up front with a front DU in mind.

The real question is if high is high enough when high is 1" lower than stock. For me it is. 1" lower doesn't look lowered on this car. It's in fact the stock height from 2012-2014.

Yep, yep. I dropped mine just shy of 3/4” front and 5/8” rear, using adjustable links mentioned above. Very easy to adjust drop heights as often as I see fit.

Did some more testing today!

I’ll bet the farm that no one can blindly tell the difference in ride quality with 1” ride height difference. Theoretically it is rougher… OK. Can you tell the difference on the road… I bet not.

It is not theoretically rougher. The ride height has no effect on the spring rate with air suspension.

Right; it's definitely not "uncomfortable" being lower.

To split hairs….. the spring rate and damping rate isn’t linear through the entire motion. Discernibly different, I argue no. Completely identical…. No.

The question is if there is enough suspension travel to lower it 1/2".... Is it going to be too easy to bottom out the suspension?

Having driven 55K miles 1" lower than current stock(original 2012-2014 stock), I have never bottomed out.

Yes, cheetah mode drops it like 2” more!

That's huge. I've never used launch control. Is it as simple as braking, pressing the accelerator, waiting for it to drop, and then letting off the brake?

Yes, it is!

I think you also need to be in dragstrip or track mode first.

I have no such thing on my P85DL.

I had it in my p90DL. Can't remember what it was called. It preheated the battery for max performance.

Insane/Ludicrous Plus. That shouldn't have anything to do with launch mode.

I live in FL and thinking about contacting Morgan & Morgan for guidance on a class action lawsuit.

Those who live here know their reputation as John Morgan led the charge against the state to allow the constituents to vote on the passage of medical marijuana years ago.

Anyone know if the 2022s and recent builds still have the vibration issue, or is this affliction limited to 2021s? Key piece of data that is very much needed.
