If anyone doesn't want to do 50 sets of Eibachs; this company has been used before by users on the EVDL: Coil Spring Specialties | Electrical / Alternative Vehicles

The front springs are constant, 30% stiffer than OEM. The rear springs are dual-rate, 10% stiffer than OEM.Are you planning progressively wound (changing diameter) springs like the OEM Tesla springs or moving to constant diameter coil overs?

10% , 20%, and 30% stiffer springs were track tested in the front and rear. 30%/10% was the optimal setup. Hopefully we'll have an announcement in our official TMC thread tomorrow.:smile:Any insight on how they arrived on these rates? I find the stock rates to be firm enough, especially for such a large car. I understand you typically increase the rates when you lower a car, but I think 30% is enough that I'll pass. And I really want to lower my car.
Also, +1 on joest
Hi Peterr,Hi Kofi, from Saleen I understand that they lower the car by 1,25" front and backside. What exactly have you adjusted and why? Why have you chosen to make it higher in the front and lower in the back? thanks

Thanks for your feedback bxr140. Other spring rates are definitely an option. You brought up a good point about gathering input on the typical Tesla owner's needs for suspension. I'd like to open that topic up for discussion. We'll start a thread in the Sponsor section, or possibly include it in our Official thread. We've generated quite a few inquiries this week for the springs. We want to make sure the final product enhances performance and styling precisely to your needs. The springs are sourced through one of the oldest industry trusted U.S. spring manufacturers. We're capable of delivering within 8 weeks once the specs are finalized.At the risk of sounding whiney (I'm actually going for constructive criticism), was there any polling or information gathering done on the typical tesla owner's needs? I'd be surprised to hear that any more than a small minority of owners want track developed spring rates, since a tesla can barely manage a lap or two before getting squeezed on power. I'd buy 0/0 in a heartbeat and even 10%/0%, but 30/10 is simply too stiff. And I live many miles and many many turns up a popular Bay Area mountain road...
Are other rates an option? Even if in the future sometime?
I'm interested but I'm looking for 1" drop.
for me, anything more than 1" is too low and not practical for everyday use.
