Hey Everyone!
It's about a year later than I intended to post this, but I've finally put together my Review, Installation, and Comparison video for the Mountain Pass Performance Comfort Adjustable Coilovers for the Model Y!
Check out the video for the full details, but basically I took delivery of a 2021 MY Performance in September of last year for my wife. Quickly I realized the suspension dynamics were pretty lackluster, and I looked into options for upgrading to something that was both more comfortable and more sporty. I had good experience with the MPP Comfort Coilovers on my wife's previous Performance Model 3, so back to Mountain Pass I went!
Installation was pretty straightforward, and was very similar to that of the Model 3. I set the damping adjustments for the Model Y Coilovers to the recommended Sporty/Comfortable settings (not the full comfort settings) and took some video to see how it compared to stock.
It's fairly clear in the video, but the harsh oscillations over road imperfections and potholes improved considerably. Notably, the "sharpness" of the bumps was diminished. There was a minor decrease in cabin noise, about 1db on average. The differences are even more noticeable at highway speeds, but I did not get that on video.
Overall, I was, and am, very happy with the coilovers and would recommend them to anyone looking to improve the ride quality of their Model Y. The best part is that it handles proper now as well! They've held up well to a winter of road sand and salt, and I can't spot any rust/corrosion on them. If you have any specific questions, ask below!
