![]() YOU WILL NEED this tool to do the fronts, though the rears you can get by with using a regular 19mm open ended socket. The fronts went extremely quick, I left the top hats where they were, and used the 21mm Schwaben strut nut socket to undo the shock from the top hat after unplugging the PASM connector. I have a 2 post lift in my garage and wouldn't consider myself a talented tech, but the install took me a night to do solo with the appropriate tools. My best recommendation is to take a ton of pics as you go, of how everything goes together or comes apart in case you get stuck. If this isn't for you, just pay a shop, and skip to the review section If you've done suspensions before, this isn't any harder. I'm not going to go through a massive step by step, since there are tons of other links / DIYs for that, but thought I'd give my 2 cents on the install in hopes that the next person attempting to do this has. The wheels are factory sized 20s, and run the factory size tire. While I do enjoy getting in and out of steep driveways without cringing, I've driven lowered cars for decades now and the ride height was killing me, I think you can see why. My build is a 991.1 S with PDCC and PASM. So let's start with how the car sat before I started. If you want a ton of information, and pictures, keep reading. If you want the TL DR, just scroll to the bottom now. ![]() I'll do my best to break this summary down into a few different sections so it's easier to digest. The Techart kit looked great, but decided to go with Eibach as they lowered the car THE LEAST of the 3, and I was a hair more comfortable with the brand. If you were wanting a more track focused setup, they may be a better option. I've used H&R products before, but their springs for this car was too low for my liking. I ended up choosing Eibach because of their reputable brand, and i've used their springs / sway bars on other cars and been extremely pleased with their results. Work with my existing PDCC and PASM setup Improve handling characteristics when driven aggressivelyĥ. Not be super bumpy or ruin the ride qualityĤ. Not be super low where I'm dragging the front lip on everythingģ. Lower the car a hair more, so it didn't look like an offroad vehicleĢ. In a perfect world, whatever option I went with would do a few things for me:ġ. I have the DSC sport module, and absolutely love it as it makes the car much more comfortable in normal mode and a bit grippier in sport. I'm sure I could spend 10x as much and get a nicer setup, but I doubt this car will see any HPDE events (ok.maybe 1 hehe) so I wanted to stick with just springs and retain the factory shocks for PASM. I have coil-overs on the turbo and 997 and know the slippery slope that comes with it. I have a few other toys (heavily modified 996 turbo, mildly modified 997 c4s, panamera e-hybrid and a heehaw truck), so I wasn't looking to get too crazy, but the OEM ride height was just killing me! I have PDCC and PASM, and love the OEM features so did NOT want to go to a full blown coil-over setup. After doing my research, it looks like these drop the car the most, the middle, and the least. I poked around on the interwebzzzz and looks like there were 3 popular options out there for springs: H&R, TechArt, and Eibach. The point of this post is to share some information and pictures with the group in case anyone is in a similar situation comparing options. Our proprietary Dual-Rate Linear technology delivers the best performance in terms of handling, comfort, aerodynamics and of course sporty looks! Our first release - Moderate Springs provide sports car handling, a lower stance, and increased range all without sacrifice to daily comfort.I wanted to give back to the group a little after not finding too much information about Eibach's new lowering spring kit. We have developed the ultimate lowering springs for Tesla Model Y. Now Unplugged Performance, one of the most popular Tesla tuners, got its own Model Y, and they quickly adapted their lowering spring kit for the electric SUV: Jeda already released its Model Y USB hub, which is built on its very popular Model 3 USB hub to connect a drive for Sentry Mode and TeslaCam. Tesla has just started delivering the Model Y, and some accessory makers and tuners already got their hands on the electric SUV and started releasing parts and accessories. Unplugged Performance took delivery of an early Tesla Model Y and they quickly installed their popular lowering spring… and it looks stunning.
