Classic Tony, crazy fast. 🔥

The last thing I would do then is swap the stock damper back in, utilizing the very same top hat. If the noise goes away, you've done your due diligence in diagnosing the damper as the culprit.

They aren't on this forum or anything to help so I will try! The rear tophat does have a rubber bushing in the center which the strut attaches to. I have only seen one fail once, but it would be visible (tearing or totally pushed out of the housing). Maybe you can post a video so we can hear the...

It is a little further but check out EVRS in Hudson as well

Haha, I have been asked this before and Sasha didn't think it would be possible with the PB in the location it is installed!

The car yelling at you whenever it detects both pedals being applied is also a downside for me!

My biggest observation when jumping back into the Model 3 was - "goodness how I missed anonymity"

The damage looks to be superficial only but they didn't put enough effort into lining up the hoist arms.

Haha, not yet! We will do our best to get our hands on one ASAP!

I think this is likely

It is more likely that the bearing in the knuckle to which the rear camber arm is attached has play. It won't cause your wheel to fall off but you may notice noise or instability.

Sounds like a good and safe plan! Pads and fluid should be the bare minimum if you know how to drive on a track.

I miss the blissful ignorance of an inefficient ICE toy where I had no idea if there was any impact on fuel economy!

I did for a little bit between M3C races and I would not recommend it. When the tires weren't raced they were decently quiet, but after the first weekend, they became crazy loud. Obviously my range was affected because of the tire width and my 10.5" wheels so I don't know how much can be...

I may have (falsely) assumed he would be using AWD suspension, but if he has access to RWD Highland suspension I don't see a problem!

Keep in mind that you have a lighter front end than an AWD Highland does, so the front spring rates and damper valving may not be appropriate for you. With our own coilover kits, we run softer front springs on the RWD cars versus the AWD cars to compensate for this.

You actually don't need to do this if you're installing the MPP arms because you will have spherical bearings on both ends, which means it doesn't need to be torqued at ride height.

That's correct. You won't run out of factory toe adjustment unless you lower the car even further or run extreme camber settings (positive or negative).

If it wasn't aligned after those were installed your tires will die a quick and certain death.

It may very well be that the car was not properly aligned after it was lowered.

That's a loud noise. I would take it in as soon as you can and try not to drive too much in case something is loose.

I think I just replied to your email but if your goal is to adjust or correct the rear camber, you only need the camber arms. Toe arms are optional!

I would bring it back to the SC for an alignment check if it is brand new. I have done many alignments on brand-new cars during a PDI because the alignment shifted when strapped down in transport (or wasn't aligned that well, to begin with.) A test drive to check this is normally what is done...

No, I have no idea why this would be bumped up since it is 4 months old!

The FUCAs will provide the camber needed to clear the fenders. I think the clearance issue you could run into with 19x10.5+30 will be the barrel to the front spindle. The actual width of the wheel is conservative compared to what we were running! I felt that the 20-inch wheels still looked a...

We ran this setup on our MYP but it required additional camber to clear the fenders: Volk Racing TE37 20x11+30 Pirelli Super Trofeo R 285/35R20 The size you're looking at (285/35R19) is over 1 inch shorter than the stock tire diameter. It wouldn't be my first choice, but I understand if you...

You will find a lot of threads about this issue!

I would set the tire pressures evenly first thing in the morning and avoid having the car parked in the sun before you do this. Just having the sun shining on one side of your car will cause those tires to heat up and increase in pressure.

They usually will fix it under warranty unless your car has suspension modifications

This makes sense! I was baffled at someone making such an effort to get awesome efficiency and collect data but run the tires 10psi too low!

If it is more of a creaking noise like an old door, it could be your front upper control arm balljoints. If it is a groan, it actually might be your brakes. Try making those maneuvers with the brakes totally off (roll mode) or push the brakje pedal down hard and really clamp them down.

Those bolts can back out or even be loose from the factory. If you drive your car hard, it would be a good idea to recheck them every now and then. How are the bushings in those arms looking?

It is like an itch you need to scratch, but try not to check the car on your app constantly, even if you are worried about the SOC.

Can you redo the rest with your tires pumped up to typical Tesla pressures ie. 42-45psi? I think that would make a significant difference!

245/45R19 would have an overall diameter of 27.7 inches which is too tall for a Model 3. The 265/35R19 they recommended is 26.3 inches which is just about the sweet spot for this car. Can you find a 245/40R19 that you like?

The car needs to see at least 1 of 2 things to not automatically switch to Park: - Seat belt buckled - Butt in the seat

That's nothing, check this out!

Can you take a video of it so we can hear?

They work well on these cars, don't they?

It is necessary because they developed significant play and became very noisy. The wheel bearings were not that expensive, around $500 per axle. Labor is free because I replaced them myself!

With lots of track days we have been replacing wheel bearings around every 75,000 km.

OP needs downforce and lots of it.

I live in a small town where half the vehicles are Dodge Rams and somehow this still hasn't happened to me!

I enjoyed both the Falkens and the Bridgestones but the RE71RS were faster and didn't fade as much over a long session.

Fantastic photos of your past vehicles and your new Model 3! We are all looking forward to seeing how you tastefully modify your Tesla.

We saw a Highland with a dealer plate yesterday on the 400 when testing Rivian Supercharging!

We have a running list of the parts that are confirmed so far and it has been a 100% success rate in fitting the suspension and brakes from existing Model 3s to the Highland! Model 3 Highland Product Compatibility More to come in the following weeks.

I already got over the trauma of our first part being knocked off, stop bringing it back up! 😅

You don't want to lower the car, so lowering it by 10mm would be a compromise for you.
