Installing a Luxury Suspension on a Tesla Model 3 + Before and after Test

[@david100483]

I want this suspension for my model y but don’t want to lower it at all :/

[@officialyasir]

Pound feet or lb-ft is correct. The “pound-foot” (lb-ft) is a unit of torque and a vector measurement that is created by one pound of force acting on a one foot lever. The “foot-pound” (or more accurately, “foot-pound-force”), on the other hand, is a measurement of work. Work is the measurement of force over a given distance. So one foot-pound-force (ft-lbf or just ft-lb) is the energy required to move a one pound object one foot of linear distance.

I was surprised you didn't install Coni comfort suspension or Highland ones.

[@davejohnson6144]

For 3 grand it just “eats it up a little better” over road bumps ! Hmmm I’d say that’s a shitty suspension upgrade!

[@TheTradeTalkpodcast]

say it. louder for the kids in the back boss

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

Ehh I agree 3k is high but I'd say it's definitely worth it if you can find the parts and labor for under 2K. Especially for older 3/Y with the poor suspesion

[@jefferrrson1x]

Hmm… I wonder if I should do this for my model y later on…

[@MrCocoriver]

took the model y to unplugged for the luxury kit so far i love it any improvement is better ...why not

[@SAT1337]

Because it costs $3000, that’s why not.

[@gforce2002]

Because it’s a measure of force over a distance, lb-ft is actually correct, despite the common usage.

[@jarmis777]

No, it’s force X distance, therefore both are correct. A*B = B*A in algebra.

@@jarmis777 Thank you.. Pounds*feet or foot*pounds...

[@peterbigblock]

Lb-ft is the correct term for torque. Foot-pounds of force is a unit of measurement of work.

[@Joe_Brig]

Love to see a Model Y stock vs Unplugged, Koni FSD, others. Maybe shocks only and blind test drive. Best sub $1500 all in upgrade.

[@edsoto7]

looks like a true mini model s with those rims. I may get a model 3 for the cheap :) so tempted now. but the new model 3 is gorgeous

[@wardsworldwelcometoit]

Now take the 10 fwy between Buckeye and Quartzite and let us know! 😳😜 … thanks for the great input, I’m close to getting over to Unplugged to upgrade my 2020 MY. 👍🏼

[@marcpelegrin8573]

Buy the Koni FSD. Cheap and improves ride like 25-30%

[@VeniVidiVid]

I believe “ft⋅lb” is pronounced “newton meters”.

[@Digital-Dan]

What I want is more cameras on the car, with the software to go with them. Mostly in front, for better uncontrolled turn vision and better forward parking.

[@JackLe1127]

ft-lbs and lb-ft are both ok because they're multiplicative so they're commutative

[@jarmis777]

Thanks for the video as I’ve been considering a suspension upgrade for my 2019 Model 3. Units for torque involves multiplying a distance and a force and the commutative property from algebra tells us A*B = B*A. Therefore, you can choose to write ft-lbs or lb-ft. Both are correct mathematically speaking. Having said that I’m only familiar with folks saying ft-lbs. 🤓

[@pauld6967]

Interesting. However I aim to go the other direction. I want increased shock absorption but I also want greater ground cleance, not less.

[@hengloose]

The drop and wheel covers look good 👍🏽

[@silverclifflightshow]

I got the same suspension on my model Y, not sure where the luxury come from. OK it’s a little smoother, but then more problem squeaking from the back most likely because it’s not compatible with Tesla.

There goes the Warranty Coverage

[@rogermartinez78]

Brake fluid should be changed every two years even if you don’t use it, remember brake fluid is hydro scopic, which means it attracts moisture. I would never wait until 80K miles.

[@Dsanchez480]

Where’s Lukas shop and contact info? Is he at the tint place in the description? East valley and looking for a trustworthy install. Thank you and another good video.

[@Gjeebs]

his instagram is ppe_az

[@dyhppyx]

How does it compare to the tein endura pros

[@MKAnr1]

and when that rubber is worn out, the problem starts. It seems as if they have made a product that is poorly designed and then fixed it with a solution that probably won't last in the long run. Maybe they should have designed them better.

[@TheAtc2]

In the valley and just got a 22 model 3. Randomly clicked on this lol nice will be checking em out

[@binjones]

What suspension improvements are available for the model x?

[@b4804514]

Hey Do we know what they did to the highland model 3 suspension? It rides very very nice now. It is all about the springs. Those springs looked so much better. Installed the Tein shocks on the Y and it was better but not Highland better. Is this Highland better?

[@JonathanChasr]

That’s exactly what I’m wondering too. Test drove the high land and loved how much softer the ride quality was. Been on the hunt to upgrade my 2023 to be like the highlands suspension

[@NIAtoolkit]

6:46 I’m in the lb-ft camp

[@TB-up4xi]

Ft-lbs is like saying metres-newtons instead of newton-meteres

[@paulkieffer1189]

I’m absolutely buying this.

[@matthewprather7386]

Coil bind on the springs? Hm…

[@baldbikeboy]

I have three Big Ass Haiku fans in my house, and they are absolutely worth the price!

[@jumpropeclass]

How does the ride compare to the Model 3 Highland suspension ride?

[@Jst4vdeos]

I feel like highland suspension is pretty bad honestly

Any recommendations on improving the horrendous turning radius on the model y?

No fix for that

Who did the install?

It's in the description

[@BonanzaPilot]

that thing needs spacers

[@ovidiunecula3233]

I have installed UPP Luxury Suspension kit with their mild springs on my Y Performance from 2023 and I noticed a clunk noise while turning the wheel full turn which can be heard from outside (front left side) but is louder inside the cabin. Anyone noticed the same and how did you fix it? kzbin.infoV-4KGSi7ifY?feature=share

[@MotoMiwa-o9d]

It could be a few different things, but you are hearing the springs pinging when it slips on one of the ends at the top or bottom when it is binding a bit. When the unit is rebuilt at installation with the car's upper mount, the spring ends need to sit correctly in the rubber seat pockets. If the upper mount was assembled slightly askew and later twisted a little to orient the upper mount screws into the apron holes, it might have put a little bit of load on it. Also, using a little bit of grease between the rubber and spring helps to relieve the small loads and tension, too. Just taking these approaches to prevent spring pre-tension will work to eliminate pining. Tesla Model 3/Y do have a very large dynamic alignment change as the front hubs are steered right to left, and vice versa. Camber and caster swings quite a bit and if the springs on the perch is allowed to stick-slip, it will make pinging noises.
