How do you beef up an EV? Fiddle around with the powertrain settings? Chances are you will end up with an overheated or faulty engine. Redo the suspension? That’s actually a valid option, and that’s what H&R just did with the Tesla Model 3.
The new lowering spring set is compatible with both the RWD and the AWD variants of the battery saloon. Both cost the same amount (€340), but their efficiency is not the same. The RWD version goes lower with 40 mm (1.6”) off the front axle height and 35 mm (1.4”) off the rear one. The AWD/Performance variant shaves 30 mm (1.2”) off both axles. As a result, the U.S.-made sedan assumes a sportier stance and likely also handles better compared to its stock counterpart.
Also in stock are H&R Trak+ wheel spacers made from high-tensile aluminum alloy (€126).
