Description
Tesla Model 3 performance and also other models can finally choose to upgrade to Unplugged performance springs on their car. We can help with installation but it is of course possible to buy the kit yourself to install.
Different springs depending on which Model 3 you drive, one spring does not fit all models, therefore there are several different designs with specific spring ranges to improve the handling of each Model 3 variant. Enjoy the immediate benefits of improved comfort and range, combined with a sporty ride height that reduces drag and increases range.
Each spring is specifically designed for two distinct linear spring rates. This allows for increased comfort (spring rate #1) along with increased handling (spring rate #2).
During extensive aerodynamic study of the Model 3, the effect of the new springs was tested using CFD. Following the installation of the moderate spring (38 mm lower) resulted in an 8.1% reduction in drag, with a reduction in the overall vehicle drag coefficient by 0.019.
Mild provides the closest factory length and smoothest ride. Provides approximately 18 mm of drop from the factory.
Moderate provides a ground clearance similar to modern sports cars with slightly more comfort in mixed driving and sportier handling in corners. Provides about 38 mm of drop from the factory.
Low provides the lowest ground clearance similar to modern hypercars. Provides about 53 mm of drop from the factory.
UP Super Performance is designed specifically for Model 3 Performance to provide maximum handling without sacrificing comfort. The height is comparable to our best-selling "moderate" springs with a relative height reduction of approximately 30 mm compared to the original Model 3 Performance springs which are already lowered from the factory.
However, the lowering may vary as different Model 3s have different factory suspension heights based on different production dates, the range from the factory is about 15 mm.
Choosing UP dual-level progressive springs means you can enjoy a 15-30% softer spring rate around town than is possible with low-cost linear springs that can only deliver one level of spring rate. The primary spring rate (city driving) is intentionally designed to be as soft as possible for comfort. When the primary spring rate is compressed under load (heavy driving conditions), it transitions to the second spring rate. The second level is usually 30% more firm and acts to reduce body roll, increase grip and improve precision.
In comparison, when using cheaper, lower cost linear springs, there is only one defined spring level and therefore it cannot be made as soft as there is no second transition rate to firm up when needed. Alternatively, compared to lower cost progressive springs, they allow a continuous spring range but do so without the predictability, confidence and planted feel of linear single spring rates. Performance drivers for decades have always chosen linear springs, this product is uniquely a dual linear rate spring that provides high performance and high comfort.
Unplugged Performance's own words about their lowering/comfort springs for the Model 3:
DESCRIPTION
An unparalleled dedication to research and advanced engineering has created the ultimate in Model 3 spring technology. Every version of every spring we produce is specifically engineered for two distinct linear spring rates. This allows enhanced comfort (spring rate #1) paired with increased handling (spring rate #2).
One size does not fit all, we've engineered specific spring rates to more perfectly enhance the handling of each Model 3 variant. Enjoy the immediate benefits of improved comfort and handling, combined with a sporty ride height that reduces drag and increases range.
See why UP is the world's #1 trusted Tesla tuner and enjoy the benefits of our continued dedication to Tesla R&D.
CONCEPT:
This ambitious engineering project began with a review of factory spring rates and led to a goal of the following:
- Target an increase in comfort in daily driving situations. Solution by studying factory spring rates and producing a softer but proportionate spring rate front and rear.
- Target an increase in performance when cornering. Solution by utilizing the highest technology partner and producing a secondary more sporty performance spring rate that engages when cornering g forces are loaded.
- Target an increase in range. Achieved by lowering the car as height is proven to correlate to aerodynamic efficiency.
- Every day improved performance at a significant value. Solution by producing in bulk volume in a direct manufacturer partnership produced to proprietary Unplugged Performance developed specifications.
WHY CHOOSE UNPLUGGED PERFORMANCE DUAL RATE LINEAR LOWERING SPRINGS?
SPECIFICATIONS:
- Produced in an engineering partnership with Formula 1 and 50+ consecutive Indy car winning spring supplier HYPERCO
- Proven Dual Rate spring technology allows for best of both worlds. The car rides at noticeably softer spring rates around town. When sporty handling is desired, natural cornering forces activate the spring's 30% sportier secondary spring rate which reduces body roll and gives noticeable difference in both feel and handling at the limit.
- Physics proven benefits of range efficiency by lowering center of gravity and reducing underbody air turbulence
- Mild provides nearest factory ground clearance and softest ride. Moderate provides a ground clearance equivalence to modern sports cars with slightly more comfort around town and sportier handling in corners. Low provides a ground clearance equivalence to modern hypercars with most firm of our spring options. Mild is approximately 0.7″ drop, Moderate is approximately a 1.5″ drop, Low is approximately a 2.1″ drop. * Drop measurements are relative to measurements of the factory Tesla Model 3 however from the factory we have seen different heights varying by 0.6" across different production dates, battery pack configurations, and tire sizes. Drop measurements are a general reference point to compare our springs across our lineup but cannot be exact in measurement due to various starting heights of factory car configurations.
- Designed, Engineered and Produced in America
During our comprehensive aerodynamic study of Model 3, we tested the efficacy of our Dual Rate Linear Lowering Springs using CFD, and the results were very interesting!
After installation of the Moderate Version of our Dual Rate Linear Lowering Springs (1.5″ lower ride height), a decrease of 8.1% in total vehicle drag resulted, with a reduction of the total vehicle drag coefficient by 0.019 (factory ride height = 28.5″ baseline, measured at the center of the front fender).
