H&R Adventure Spring Lift anyone?

Anyone got some insight on these? Will raise the Model Y 1.2"; and seems to be a better option than those cheap aluminum spacers

No. Why would anyone want to make the car worse?

What do you mean "make it worse"? It's common for people to want to raise or lower their vehicle.

Never seen these before. Looking forward to what people have to say. I have been looking at lifts for my MYLR.

Listed as for MYP. I can't see too many buying a MYP and then wanting to lift it back to MYLR height. It's not like a MYLR is short on performance.

Simply a taller spring. H&R lists the same P/N for both LR and Performance, so overall numbers would be about 0.5" less on the Performance.

How does a standard MYP sit lower than the MY regular without a shorter spring set?

MYP sits about ~0.5" lower than LR from factory.

Part numbers are different, but not certain if it's due the spring length or perch position as the spring/strut are only sold as an assembly from Tesla.

The spacers I believe is a better lift since it doesn't affect the damping and rebound of the shock. If you use lift springs, it will extend the stocks to almost max and cause a horrible ride.

Not necessarily. Stacking a spacer style lift-kit on top will preload the factory springs also.

These Model Y lift spacers goes on top of the spring top hat thus not affecting suspension or pre load. Pre load spacers on the other hand installs to on spring in between spring and top hat thus causing pre load.

This still gets sandwiched between the lower control arm. You will be made aware of this when you go to bolt your suspension back up, a lot more spring compression in the rear is required before the control arm bolt holes align. The front is not as dramatic, and preload remains the same.
