Thanks for such a detailed video on the installation Mark! Did the install by myself and save $1k. The tip on getting the harbor freight pass through socket was perfect. All four shocks needed this special tool and wouldn't have been able to get the those nuts off of the shocks without it.

Thank you Mark! Because of your videos, I installed the mpp coilovers on my 22 M3LR myself in my garage like you did. Your video was the only information I used. Thank you for all of the great content!!

Out of all the Tesla KZreadrs I think you are the best. There’s just an honesty and genuine nature to this video. It’s just damn informative and it’s exactly what good content is about. Can’t wait for more! Thanks

Hey thanks!

Thanks Mark, this was just what I needed to convince myself that I could do it alone. The torque requirements were much appreciated. The rear suspension was super easy and doing them first is highly recommended to build confidence.

This write up is very good only thing i would add is remove front sway endlinks first place a jack under suspension to line up straight then pull out out. Otherwise its very difficult to get the coil assembly out as once the bottom bolt is removed assembly will shoot out under pressure if you push down on the lca possibly nick up components and could cause potential injury.

Wow i just realized you posted this few days ago. I picked up a new tesla and your instructions are so detailed i can do it myself now! picking up the comfort version very soon!

@@mmark300 You think that's bad, the second quote came from a shop MPP recommended - $1200! I also have to learn about the alignment. The $900 shop told me only Tesla could do the alignment. You said in your video you had Firestone do it. The Firestone near me wouldn't do suspensions, but I will check and see if they do alignments possibly. The $1200 shop in the quote had a note that alignments done only on non FSD cars. Not sure why that would impact it. It's a 75 minute drive for me to take it into Tesla and I'm sure a lot of cost to have it done. Trying to coordinate installing these things along with a Tesla-scheduled alignment could mean I'll be driving this thing for weeks out of alignment if I can't get someone to do it.

We do get snow, but as long as none of the car is dragging in the snow, it's all about tires. My factory tires were pretty worn and the car did much worse in minor snow than I expected with a heavy AWD. I have the Michelin Pilot all seasons on it now and it was much better. If I was going to spend more time on the road in winter I would invest in some winter tires - WAY better.

Two issues with the $1800 set - one is that only the height is adjustable, not the rebound and compression. I'm sure the settings they come with are fine, but it is nice to play around with the adjustments to get what you want. Second issue is that the $1800 set is not stainless steel, which means they will start rusting, slowly but surely, if you live anywhere that gets snow. They currently have a $150 discount on coilovers for black friday...

Hi Mark, can you adjust the height simply by taking off the tires and using the spanner wrench? Or do you have to remove certain bolts/parts, etc.?

Consequently, this is also the side I accidentally let my jack down way way too fast on causing a nice compression of the suspension on that corner. . So I wonder if that seated the coil on that side all the way, where the other side may still be not settled in as I didn’t grease any rubber.
