Just ordered mine. Can't wait to get them and see how it looks. Install looks pretty straightforward. I have 21 inch staggered wheels on my P85+ and this option should put a smile on my face. I'm usually riding in low setting so it'll be interesting to see how the new low will look. Thanks Josh. Received it today and installed it today. Wasn't too bad. I learned that the factory links have rubber tips which when you use a pair of pliers like grip pliers, it'll bend enough that it just pops off. Didn't take the front wheels off but I did take the back wheels off. I will say the links definitely lowered my car at least 1 1/2. A super great deal considering the results. I'm extremely happy. Update, just put 22 inch rims and yeah, she's looking even sexier. Best investment I've made with the links and 22's.
Thanks! Very easy to install and looks great. I'm use to driving lowered cars, so the height at LOW setting doesnt bother me. Still lots of clearance. That being said, I do wish there was an option to keep the car at the HIGH setting, without it dropping down automatically after a certain speed. I was a little concerned that the links themselves were plastic as I've never installed any suspension components on any of my previous cars of this material, but based on the stock ones I pulled off, which were of same material, I no longer had any concerns.
I ordered some before seeing it lower. I’m concerned that my regular drive height will be much too low! This looks like a 1.5” drop. The model s wheelbase does not accommodate that much for daily driving IMO. A SLIGHTLY lower drop option would be a welcome addition, please!
Random thought. With all the stock components I drive my car in the lowest. After installing these links I'm pretty sure i will be driving my car at the beight setting above the lowest, why would I need an alignment...? These links are not replacing any mechanical components...
I have the same question. Because on OEM smart air, the very low position add some camber, and my tires wear is very bad (like really dead inside, and brand new outside)
I just bought my MS P85 with links installed already which makes the suspension/car look really low, I want to get the car back to its original height when it was brand new, because I don't like it looking low. how can it be done?
Unbelievable that it is just as simple as that :) I have a 2016 85D with smart air just like yours. My concern is do tires are rubbing inside in low mode now ? (I drive with 21 twin turbine, 9inch for back wheels).
What about the alignment? I have a 2018 Model X that I like to run in the Low mode. But, it makes the wheel alignment off? If I buy these lowering links, will the alignment be off?
Just got my second set of links and was sitting here thinking, why has noone made a vid on this xD mby i should. That was 2 days ago 🤣 nice vid doode. Do you have the mm lenght on the origginal ones?
Hey Great video let me ask you when you do this does it throw your alignment off or you will have to get it realigned up I’m asking because I just put brand new 21 inch tires and do not want to wear them out faster if I can help it? Thanks
You could do it with links or take it back to Tesla and ask them to fix it. We had a problem with our car being too low in the front and they adjusted it via software.
Just ordered these. I have 21x9 In front and 21x10.5 in the rear. While driving on the highway if I hit a bump I already sliiiiightly rub when car bottoms out on bump and sliiiightly rub at full lock in front. I'm wondering, so each setting now is like one height lower in car setting screen? ( like high being normal now and normal being low?). I hope that normal setting is like the low because that's the setting I'm always in and then if I put in low it'll be the cruising show off mode😎 . Also a video of you starting at very high,and going through each setting as you get to low with new links and your new wheels. That would be awesome
Just received your lowering links front suppose to be 62mm but mine are 58mm. Can you confirm if this will be a problem or possibly measure those what you sending out. Rear are correct 82mm. Just want to be sure before start installing them. Thanks Update: Front lowering links are supposed to measure 62mm and they are measuring at 58mm. I contacted The AP Guys and the response was, "You should be OK!" Well... no, it's not ok. I will end up almost half an inch higher on the front wheels than the rear wheels. Who wants to ride like that?
Josh Thayer thanks. Since the links are a set length that is different it should correspond to a certain change at all settings. Was just curious what that is.

I just placed my order and I’m super excited to get my Model X a lot lower! Thank you again and like and subscribed
Got mine installed!! Looks great!! Thanks again

just got my links in thanks gonna try an install tonight!
Just order for my Model S! What are the specs on your wheels that were on the site for the links? They look so good!!
Thanks bro! Although would look much better with 21’s 😁
***Notices the Lotus at 6:35***. I sold my Elise Supercharged to buy my Tesla P90D three months ago. You have good taste!!
Thank you!
Hello, just wanted to know if you had any issues with tires wearing and any alignment issues ?
I have the same question. Because on OEM smart air, the very low position add some camber, and my tires wear is very bad (like really dead inside, and brand new outside)
great video! what wheel specs and tire sizes are your bronze set you're running on the car? Any rubbing?
I just bought my MS P85 with links installed already which makes the suspension/car look really low, I want to get the car back to its original height when it was brand new, because I don't like it looking low. how can it be done?
Hi I just installed mine and when I try to put it on low position the jack mode pops up, what should I do?
damn that supra tho
What are the lengths of these plastic peices end to end please?
Unbelievable that it is just as simple as that :)
I have a 2016 85D with smart air just like yours. My concern is do tires are rubbing inside in low mode now ? (I drive with 21 twin turbine, 9inch for back wheels).
You may rub a hair at full steering wheel lock in low mode. But not while driving regularly.
Going to my local tire shop rn to install on my model s plaid
How’s that work out? Plaid has a slightly different suspension set up.
How do i order these?
Any updates on the links! Any issues how’s the ride?! How have they held ? TIA
What about the alignment? I have a 2018 Model X that I like to run in the Low mode. But, it makes the wheel alignment off? If I buy these lowering links, will the alignment be off?
Anytime you run a car in low mode or lower a car with bags/coilovers/springs it's always recommend to get an alignment.
Just got my second set of links and was sitting here thinking, why has noone made a vid on this xD mby i should. That was 2 days ago 🤣 nice vid doode. Do you have the mm lenght on the origginal ones?
50mm/70mm is approximate stock lengths I believe
Are the measurements from center of ball joint to center of ball joint?
Can you show how you popped the brackets out, I’m having a hard time taking it out.
The original links?
Hey Great video let me ask you when you do this does it throw your alignment off or you will have to get it realigned up I’m asking because I just put brand new 21 inch tires and do not want to wear them out faster if I can help it?
Thanks
I always recommend alignment any time you mess with the height of a vehicle. However, this should not affect it much at all.
Did you have an alignment done? How were you way out of spec with regards to toe?
Yes I did an alignment. Wasn't too far off at all. Should have taken a picture of the sheet so I could show it.
What happened to the new wheels
all I saw was Supra 😂 S looks great tho!
How is the ride quality after this install? Any change?
nice man, hows the ride feel? and is this doable with a model x?
Rides like stock. Yes it works with the X if it has smart air suspension
My Model X front wheel Gap is 1” higher than my rear. Can I technically just install the front links only so it will be level with the Rear?
You could do it with links or take it back to Tesla and ask them to fix it. We had a problem with our car being too low in the front and they adjusted it via software.

Standard Low and new Low show a 1-1/2 inch difference.
Interested in these. Do they go lower than unplugged lowering links?
Unplugged links I believe are adjustable. Not sure how long they can get up to
Do I need a jack when installing these? As I don’t have one at home
Yes

Does this work for 2020 model S?
This is really hard to get off the stock links
some WD40 and brake cleaner should help. did it with mine just now
Hello I submitted an email to cancel my order. Order number 4558. Please issue refund.
I am installing lowering springs and may need to adjust the camber - can you look into getting the camber adjustment links?
Unfortunately can't 3D print an adjustable camber arm.
Unplugged performance manufactures adjustable rear camber arms for Model S
@@Guyinawarehaus You'd have to sell the car to afford to buy the links. EV Tuning offers them also.
So these links are longer then stock?
Correct
if it's lowered, does it effect cheetah mode ?
I wouldn't think so.
And do these fit a 2017 model?
Any Model S/X with smart air suspension
Does it affect the ride at all ? Is it Bumpier ect...
Nope! Rides like stock.
@@joshthayer8336 no rubbing or bottoming out?
@@Heineckiv I only had a very little rubbing in the front at full lock with my 20s and large tires
Where can I buy it?
Link is in the description
Are you selling the Supra??
Of course not 😒
Hi hi guys hi how are your Aday going today and I hope you are doing well and
where to buy? link says sold out
More coming in a week and a half
@@joshthayer8336 please note me
How much does this lower the car?
I didn't take exact measurements. The video depicts it pretty well. It's dependent on the setting chosen
Josh Thayer thanks. Since the links are a set length that is different it should correspond to a certain change at all settings. Was just curious what that is.
@@pkonyoutube unfortunately I did not take an exact measurement. My guess is probably around 2"
