Curious to hear Unplugged's response. Is this the first that people have had issues with the V2 versions or is it just that enough miles have been put on these springs where issues are just now surfacing

I do feel like it’s a hit and miss with UP springs. It shouldn’t be like this. I’ve had the UP moderate springs on my SR+ version 2 and had no problem for about 7 months. I went back to stock because I was selling my 3 to Carmax.
I've held off posting to let my UPP experience run it's course but it's time. I've had both the SPs and Moderates. Both had the same issues EL2470 and multiple others posted above. Both were quiet at first, but after the first week the clunks and creeking comes back. Adjusted them multiple times, always checking for a loose bolt or something but the creeks and clunks always return. Wouldn't be so bad if I had a Civic, but with how quiet Teslas are it's the only thing I and passengers can hear.
UP customer service is great and responsive when you can get a hold of them. They always give the warm and fuzzy when we talked but they came through on their promises about 40% of the time. Over it now and ready to go back to stock.
Was hesitant because of the reviews when I bought them and should've trust my gut.

Hi, we're here for you 100% of the time and 24/7. We also stand behind our product 100%. We would like to review with you by email...
I've been troubleshooting with customer service since Jan/Feb with no luck but I appreciate you reaching out. PM'd you most of the history.
There’s a lot of bashing and biased on this forum but plenty of people in FB and social media that loves them. I myself have the same set and it’s pretty awesome. The “noise” everyone keeps hearing about is from their V1 but they’re already on V3. Bout to switch out to coils because it unlocked a new perspective on what this car can do. If you are looking for looks AND efficiency I’d suggest grabbing their lip and rear wing. For me I reduced 25 wh/mi with no changes to my driving habits. Ymmv.Hey guys, I recently drove down from SF to LA and met with Jeff Kaney @UnpluggedP. They are absolutely terrific people and got everything right. While I could have just had them send my springs to SF, I decided the best option for me was to drive down and have them install them. I didn't want to get into a situation where I let a local shop install my springs and for whatever reason, they might screw it up, so I wasn't taking any chances. There aren't too many shops that are experienced with Tesla's yet so I feel I made the right decision. Jeff and his crew at Unplugged Performance know Tesla's inside and out. I immediately felt at ease and confident. I dropped off my car around noon and got lunch, came back, chatted up with the guys there, soon enough, it was ready.
While I was there, I spotted a set of front & rear sway bars and decided to drop them in since my car was already on the lift. BEST DECISION EVER. The combination/pairing of the Unplugged Performance Moderate Springs and sway bars is just WOW! If you get the springs, you gotta get the sway bars. It's a must have. The corners are tight and coming out of a twisty is more fun than ever. I've driven nearly 1,000 miles since my install so I now have a good feel for the upgrade and I highly recommend this for anyone with a Model 3 looking to obtain a better driving experience, lowering your car without the big expense, closing that irritating wheel gap with a nice 1.5 drop, and the best part is you're not going to sacrifice your ride comfort at all, it's just slightly stiffer but you won't notice. You immediately notice the car looks more aggressive than before, the stance is just dope AF. Since the car is slightly lower now I thought I might have issues when opening the door when parked. I have had no problems with curbs when opening the door. Being in the City, you have to be aware of possible issues such as that but I have not encountered any problems with it. Some of you commented about squeaks or noises. There aren't any. I've driven nearly 1,000 miles on them now and nada.
If you're considering this set up, Jeff knows his stuff. I highly recommend you email/call Jeff Kaney and get the Unplugged Performance moderate springs and sway bar set up. It's a solid set up. [email protected]

If you have any questions, you can reach out to me as well.
Did you shear or not tighten where it attaches to the knuckle? I just did the install myself this past weekend, it was a huge PIA, because it just usually is for me, but by sunday night I had it all sorted.
Hoping no control arm issues, but I could see not tightening properly that pin, or having it seated weird and maybe it sheared and damaged a bit.
*edit - also just a bit of feedback, I feel the ride SMOOTHER for some reason. I love it, no creaks (knock on wood) and corners like a pro. I wasnt so sure about the dual rate, but its a real thing. Smoother ride for me, and stiffer when turning.
