I recently installed Mountain Pass Performance's solid lower control arm bearings, comfort coilovers and rear camber arms onto my PMY. I've only had a couple weeks worth of testing everything out, but the driving experience is vastly improved so far.
I know there are numerous reviews out there for the coilovers, but haven't seen any reviews on the solid control arm bearings (for the model Y, at least). In talking with Jesse at MPP he noted this was a mod that would make the biggest difference in the steering response, and he was right on. It's hard to explain, but makes the steering feel more direct, sharp, and crisp. Note that these are for sale under the PM3 section on MPP, and not under the PMY.
I had a heck of a time (in Marietta, GA) finding a shop that would price coilover and bearing install, so finally just tore into it myself. I got a lot of folks that simply didn't want to touch a Tesla (even after explaining similar suspension setup to all the other cars they work on), or just got some astronomical numbers from those that would give an estimate ($2k+).
I purchased a shop press from Northern Tool and used the optional pressing tools that come with the bearings from MPP. I didn't have any experience with a press, but after a few YouTube videos and a few beers found it pretty straight forward.
Huge shout-out to Tesla Mark (not sure his user name on here) for the very thorough YouTube install video, and of course Jesse and @MountainPass for the awesome products.
Cheers,
Chris
