You may be thinking to yourself that the car shown above looks good and you wouldn’t be wrong. Adding a set of 19×9.5 +35 UP-03 Forged Wheels in Satin Titanium transformed this Model 3 Highland from a stock daily driver to an autocross ready rocket. But you can’t help but think something just isn’t sitting quite right and again you wouldn’t necessarily be wrong. While the OEM Suspension on the Highland is great from the factory in terms of comfort, making it perfect for a commuter car or small family vehicle, for those looking for a more responsive ride and aggressive stance, there’s Unplugged Performance Lowering Springs.
Now look at the car above again, this time with Unplugged Performance’s Dual Rate Linear Lower Springs in their Moderate form. Moderate Springs are objectively the best all-around modification for the value. For less than the cost of one single UP Forged Wheel, you’ve now enhanced your handling while maintaining a level of comfort, improved your aerodynamics, and closed the gap between your fender and tire giving your car a sleeker sportier look. Moderate Springs will lower a Model 3 approximately 1.5”, exactly as the name describes, fitting in right between the “Mild” option giving you a .7” drop, excellent for the daily driver wanting to maintain some ground clearance but improve handling and the “Low” option providing a visually pleasing 2” drop.
What separates Unplugged Performance lowering springs from others on the market? UP Springs are Dual Rate Linear springs meaning that you are able to enjoy a 15-30% softer spring rate under normal driving conditions than what low-cost standard linear springs can provide with a fixed stiff spring rate. The Dual Rate technology allows for a softer ride than ever previously possible, without giving up performance handling precision when it matters most. The primary spring rate, used for cruising around town over bumps and potholes, is intentionally engineered to be as soft as possible for comfort. When the primary spring rate compresses under load, better known as spirited driving conditions, the second spring rate transitions in. The second spring rate is typically 30% more firm and acts to reduce body roll, increase traction and enhance precision. By comparison, when using lower cost single rate linear springs there is only one defined spring rate which is typically very firm for performance but creates a harsh ride during normal driving activities, where you spend most of your time.
