Exactly! Wheel adapters are no better or worse than wheels with offsets different than OEM. There are penalties to pay for using something different than OEM. If wheel bearings go bad because you are using rims with a different offset than OEM, you will pay for new wheel bearings because YOUR aftermarket rims are not covered under warranty.

I'm guessing 4-5 hours of labor will cost more than the springs
That usually is the case. When I had Dinan springs put on my BMW, the cost of installation totally outweighed the cost of the springs. Having said that, the springs made a world of difference in the handling of the car. I am interested in these springs but not looking to be the first guinea pig. So would like to see other people’s experience before pulling such a trigger.I'm guessing 4-5 hours of labor will cost more than the springs

Message us if you are local. We will be offering a deal on local installation!
For anybody that does do the springs, please post your reviews.
Orders will be out very soon. We're just packaging our springs before shipment. We will be working through the order cue from then on.
Message or email us if you have questions regarding your specific order.

@UnpluggedP ,
I'm sure all the potential buyers here would LOVE to see some data. There have been iPhone accelerometer apps and even videos of water cups bouncing around in an effort to show folks how bumpy the Model 3 is (compared to F150 or leaf or ...) We'd LOVE to see some of these details comparing stock vs your springs to help us witness that the softer portion of your dual-rate springs translate into real, measureable results!
What do you say?

awesome that you guys are in LA!! Cant wait to bring my model 3 to you guys to get a set of lows installed! Looks so much better.
The drop from the moderate spring set looks absolutely perfect with the 19" wheels. I definitely need to figure out what this would cost to have installed in NJ...

are you getting any request for an even softer spring rate and stock or near stock ride height spring?
would something like this be hard (expensive) for Hyperco to make if not producing them in bulk?

Ask and you shall receive! Check out this recent test video from Teslanomics
We have. We recently updated our product page to include our mild spring option which is the softest option with a 0.7" drop

How do you anticipate the ride to compare between the moderate springs and the coilvers?

The stock Model 3 has front concentric spring/damper (shock) units, which are commonly call "coil-overs". In the rear springs and dampers are separate. The dual rate springs don't change this arrangement.
Sorry, Unplugged is working on some after market coilovers that drop the height. I was wondering how the ride compares between these dual rate lowering springs and the coilovers they're working on.

Test drove Unplugged Performance's model 3 with the mild dual rate lowering springs and I was surprised by the better ride quality over stock even when I was told that they were still on the original gen one dampers and I know the car I was comparing it to was the newest dampers and springs.
The owner Ben explained to me that the moderate version was designed to have a 15% lower spring rate that stock in the first stage and 15% stiffer rate in the second stage, The mild version I pre ordered today will be 30% lighter in the first stage and stock in the second so with the new version of dampers and these springs I am expecting a good combination of handling and daily driver comfort.

Curious if there will be any documentation for the DIYers out there? I've done coilover/spring installs in a few of my past cars now, would be willing to give it a shot myself given the chance
