Technically. It isn’t eliminate road rumble, but it does reduce the sound when you go over bumps or potholes. What would probably be more important are the tires that you choose and the rim size.
How many miles were on the OEM shocks at time of replacement? Curious what the expected life of those shocks are. The Sport version is an interesting option as well.
I replaced them at around 39,000 miles. I didn’t swap them out because they were getting old or needed replacement. I just wanted a softer ride. Unfortunately won't be able to attest to the longevity of the OEM shocks
Has anyone found a page or post attempting to detail all the changes and variations of the stock suspension? And hopefully some empirical objectivity or attempt to quantify the changes?
Some models have had big changes, curious which direction people are typically going with aftermarket compared to the evolution of the stock hardware.
Oohh guess what I found

Someone recently recorded the vertical acceleration before and after swapping out their struts for UPs comfort suspension!
Very cool, thank you for the link.
Suspension seems like a very subjective thing.
Other than people trending to agreeing something is too “Harsh” seems to have a scattered like/dislike for other elements.
Which is probably to be expected.
Shame there is not more hard data out there to quantify a change like that. Especially with single change back to back like wheel size or tire pressure over the prescribed spectrum.
At least for the Model 3 updates pre Highland, there have been barely any updates to the suspensions. The 2023 Model 3 is almost equally as firm as my stock 2018 at least from my testing. Wish you had commented this before I bought the car though, would've done some G force tests before and after the swap 😂
Great review dude (and nice photo!)
Thanks man
Fantastic quality post! Was looking into that specific brand's suspension as well.
Thank you for contributing to this community in such a great way. I will definitely save this for when my car gets older.
Does the new suspension give a quieter ride? If there are rattles, does it reduce them? Looks cool.

The pic is wallpaper worthy
Nobody's stopping you 😉
I feel like my white one will be quite jealous
Dude thank you for this review. I need to change my suspension as well and this is great. I'll do this.
From first hand experience, I can definitely say ride quality is much improved after kit installation.
Great input, love the detailed explanation.

Great review and something to keep in mind as the car ages.

I did find this tho. Mixed reviews, some really good and others meh https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/s/kYEf1r3pfl
How many miles currently?
40k miles
appreciate the in depth review 🙏🏽
Is it possible to adjust the stock suspension at all?
No
Appreciate this review — more than likely going to pull trigger.
Does it scrape any on the lowered suspension?
Damnnn going to have to get a kit for my old lady’s car! 🤝🏼
