Luxury Suspension Kit for Tesla Model Y

The Unplugged Performance Luxury Suspension Kit for Model Y is one of our most popular upgrades. If there's one dynamic criticism of the Model Y, it's the rough ride quality.

For such a quiet comfortable car as the Model Y, that can be a disappointment for owners. Our Luxury Suspension Kit is the answer. With 20-way adjustable damping rates, fitment of our Luxury Kit enhances both the driving dynamics and comfort of your Tesla Model Y - all at a really attractive price-point.

Why fit?

By replacing all four springs and dampers with the Unplugged Performance Luxury Suspension Kit, your Model Y will gain the sort of comfortable suspension control that you'd expect from a premium German saloon. Unlike almost all other aftermarket suspension kits, comfort has been an absolute priority in the development process, and with 20-way adjustability, you can turn your car into the perfect daily-driver that it should always have been.

With this Luxury Suspension Kit, affordability was the other key priority in our development, leveraging economies of scale and using our existing Dual Rate Linear Spring technology. We've achieved this at a price point considerably below our top-rated Unplugged Coilover suspension upgrades.

The outcome is a sophisticated suspension kit that offers a degree of adjustability while significantly enhancing the comfort and dynamics of your Tesla Model Y.

The improvement to ride quality will be particularly striking on a higher-mileage car - as we've experienced multiple times how much the factory dampers degrade over the years. As it's a gradual deterioration, you may not notice the loss of damping ability. But the moment you drive away on your new Luxury Suspension Kit, you'll be in no doubt of the transformation!

The Luxury Suspension Kit is designed for use with the addition of UP Dual-Rate Lowering Springs for optimised performance, which are included within the price. For those who already have UP Dual-Rate Lowering Springs, we can supply the dampers alone without the springs upon request.

Product Features

The Luxury Suspension Kit has been tuned specifically for the Model Y, factoring in weight, balance, valving and stroke length for optimised sport dynamics, yet with added comfort as a bonus. These twin-tube dampers offer a longer stroke and include advanced internal hydraulic bump stop technology that offers smoother, longer stroke actuation which reduces harshness at full stroke. The elongated stroke range further ensures maximum performance and comfort over uneven and rough road surfaces. Tuning calmer rebound without high valve rates results in an increase in stability at higher speeds.

The degree of comfort that is desired can be selected and adjusted with the Luxury Suspension Kit. We recommend using the preset default damping setting which is optimised for a perfect balance of comfort and performance stability. However, should you desire a specific setting for your application you can follow the quick-reference guide and make simple adjustments to the shocks by turning the knobs at the top prior to install.

The Dual-Rate Linear Lowering Springs offer more comfort AND more performance. This Dual-Rate Linear Lowering Spring technology offers two distinct spring rates within a single spring. The initial rate, approximately 25% softer, enhances comfort during everyday driving, absorbing bumps and potholes with ease. When the suspension compresses further, such as during spirited driving, the second spring rate engages, reducing body roll, improving handling, and enhancing grip. This dual-rate design is the magic that ensures comfort during daily use yet a sportier feel when the car is pushed harder.

Offered in two ride height options (if Lowering Springs are selected): Mild (0.7” drop), or Moderate (1.5” drop). Note that specific applications may yield height variances of up to 0.25 inches.

Additional Info

Lowering is proven to reduce drag and increase efficiency. Given the Model Y’s flat-bottom underside, lowering the vehicle increases the air-flow velocity beneath the car reducing air pressure, and as a result, reduces drag which is the catalyst for the efficiency. The cleaner air beneath a lowered Model Y can also clean the air at the rear end which contributes to the efficiency improvements.

Our primary objective with the Luxury Suspension Kit was to make the benefits of performance and comfort accessible to more Model Y owners by ensuring affordability. By focusing solely on essential design elements, optimising materials, and leveraging economies of scale, we deliver a cost-effective solution without compromising quality. No frills, no flashy aesthetics—just pure comfort, durability, and performance. This suspension kit promises an extended service life, offering a maintenance-free experience for your Tesla Model Y.

The end result is a suspension package that surpasses stock performance and comfort, offers some adjustability akin to a full coilover suspension, all at a fraction of the cost.

Installed these last week and needless to say, it’s a night and day difference. There are 20 settings, thought they don’t recommend below 5 (softest), 8 is the default and they don’t recommend above 15 (firmest). I set mine to 6 and it is perfect. You still feel the bumps but the ride is much more refined. I confirmed this by riding on all the same roads I despise here.

FAQ

Got questions? Maybe these answers can help!

Why modify my Tesla?

There’s no single answer to that! Much of the world of car modification revolves around the reality that a mass-produced car, built to a competitive price, has to be a compromise in some way to all of us.

Whether you are looking for daily-driving comfort, upgraded replacement parts for a high-mileage car or looking to join the increasing number of Tesla owners enjoying the immense capabilities of their car on track days, autocross, hillclimbs and sprints, our range has something for every Tesla owner.

Many people start off by simply needing to replace failing parts on their Tesla (very typically worn out suspension arms/bushes), but can see the error in choosing factory replacement arms that are certain to fail again in future. Or worse, the false economy of choosing cheap Far-Eastern copy parts that are of unknown quantity when it comes to durability and indeed safety. But with the longevity that a Tesla drivetrain offers us, it makes more sense than ever to invest in quality replacement parts on the chassis side and take a longer-term view of ownership as the mileage increases.

Others aren’t looking for improved performance. Rather, it's our Luxury suspension offerings, or the growth in ‘overland’ upgrades that are fully capable of heading off the beaten track that are of interest. For these customers, it’s the certain knowledge that their car can be better for their needs than mass-production can ever allow.

So many of our customers simply love the performance of their Tesla – often the fastest car they’ve ever owned. But for those that have come from a performance ICE car, they can feel that the Tesla’s chassis and braking capabilities still have some room for improvement to match the straight-line go.

Whatever your reasons and motivations, jump in to the world of modifying your Tesla without any concerns, and let us help you tailor the perfect Tesla for you.

Do you install parts?

No, we don't provide a fitting service. All Unplugged Performance parts are designed and manufactured in a way that any competent professional can install our parts on your Tesla - just the same as on any ICE car.

Have you checked our Fitting Guides? They are a very helpful resource for anyone carrying out this fitting service.

Of course, if you have any more questions about fitting, please don't hesitate to Contact Us.

Do you ship overseas?

Yes, we do. Although we are predominantly UK-based, we serve customers all over Europe and sometimes beyond.

Shipping costs will apply, and will be added at checkout. If your country doesn't have shipping calculated, please Contact Us and we'll get a competitive quote for you.

Please note: local taxes and duties may apply when you import products into your country which will be your responsibility.

A product is showing as 'None available from UK stock'. What does this mean?

We do our best to hold as much inventory here in the UK as possible. But of course, sometimes products go out of stock.

Or in the case of certain specialist parts or our wheel range, where there are multiple sizes, colours and configurations these are often manufactured to order in the USA.

So, orders that show as 'None available from UK stock' will be sourced from our team at Unplugged Performance in California. You may go ahead and place your order and we will get it ordered from USA and update you with expected delivery date.

Although you may prefer to Contact Us first, and we can give a best estimate on likely delivery time.

How long will it take to get my orders?

It depends on where you are. Orders for the UK will be processed immediately and typically take 5-7 business days to arrive.

Overseas deliveries can take anywhere from 7-16 days. Delivery details will be provided in your confirmation email.

However, if a product shows as being unavailable from UK stock, we will need to source from the Unplugged Performance USA team in California. In this case we will let you know the expected delivery times as soon as possible.

Of course, if you'd like to Contact Us first, we can always confirm timing estimates before you place your order.

How can I find Fitting Instructions?

We have fitting guides for many of our most popular products.

Please check out Fitting Guides for our list of useful installation resources.

What about warranty?

We are entirely confident in our products, and offer a 12-month warranty against defects or design faults within fair use.

If your Tesla is still under manufacturers warranty, please be aware that fitting aftermarket parts may affect the Tesla terms and conditions - although only for those mechanical elements relating to the fitment of our products.
