Received my package an hour ago with these links included. I'm a novice and not a mechanic so this is all new to me. I've learned quite a lot watching this video and reading about what these camber kits do. Like you all, I'm fed up with replacing tires from inner wear from Tesla's design flaw on the Model X's. I'm looking forward to this fix in the coming days and hoping I can feel better about all of this craziness of wasting money on tires. Also, on height adjustment, I just want a smooth level ride. Once in awhile though I do like to show off the car at a stop light and raise it or lower it and hope the guy behind me notices it and is amazed. But, mostly the wife drives the X so that doesn't happen often. ;) Cheers!
Do you ever recommend doing more lowering in the front since the driveline angles there are the vibration cause? I was thinking -6 front, -4 rear. Beautiful kit BTW.
Hi Brody, you can mismatch front to back a little bit. But if you do too much you may get errors. Easy enough to try and see if it works in your situation. Every Tesla is a little bit different.
Im installing these in a week. Will there be alignment issues (and if so can it be realigned without additional parts)? Also, all my links are identical size. The video is saying there should be different sizes for front and back.
That's a good question. When the car goes lower negative camber will increase. So ideally you need to get our adjustable SX - P2 camber arms as well. Otherwise the inside edge of your tires will wear out quickly. This is actually a known problem even without lowering links. It sounds like if all the links are the same size than you have a 2021 or later Model S or X. So this is fine. Any other questions please let me know.
You could try it and see if you like it. But the software is going to put you into Low at highway speeds. Generally we don't recommend it because you won't have much range of motion with your suspension at that point. Also this video is for our old RSX-1 links. Our latest links drop down to -20.

@@N2ITIVEdesigns I noticed a strange thing , with settings 5 all around the shudder is present but if I raise the car into Medium its no longer there. I dont understand as I would expect the opposite.
@@gyuri647 yeah that is strange. This is probably happening because somehow you have a damaged section of the outer CV joint on the half shaft in an unusual location. Please contact us directly to trouble shoot: n2itive.me/contact-us/
I ordered the plaid/LR version confused me with this video cause he said the front are shorter than the rear links. But all 4 of mine are the same size?
@@N2ITIVEdesigns haha thanks, I was worried for a second and was about to take them off just to make sure they weren’t different sizes. Really quality stuff highly recommend these.

Thank you guys! Got my Plaid links in the mail today! Damn Mondays, not going to have time until the weekend to install.
Looking forward to hearing about your experience, James. 😀
Amazing series, excited to see more!
Did he really just say that for cars without air suspension you have to jack it up to install them? The matrix just glitched...
i was thinking about putting -7 in front and -9 in back... i have a 2018 model s
@@worldfamousfilms that would be a good place to start.
Really cool product!
Hi brother, great video. What pick do you use to remove the lowering links that you did for the front wheel?

what tool is that thing called that helped you remove the links. I'm having trouble removing the stock oem links
It's called an oscillating saw or vibrating saw.
Im installing these in a week. Will there be alignment issues (and if so can it be realigned without additional parts)?
Also, all my links are identical size. The video is saying there should be different sizes for front and back.

Are these links for Tesla only or for any car with air suspension?
These are for Tesla only but we are working on other cars now. Which car are you thinking to install these on?
Why is -13 "not recommended"?
How about if i set it at that, and drive it mostly at the mid air setting? And drop it low when parked?

@@N2ITIVEdesigns I just ordered a set, does that mean mine will drop even lower? 😯
@@skep2 yes, the new ones go lower than you would ever want to go.
@@N2ITIVEdesigns oh man I can't wait!
@@N2ITIVEdesigns are there pictures or videos anywhere of the new set bottomed out?
i cant get the stock ones off. I'm afraid to break the sensor. any suggestions?

1mm adjustment on the links corresponds to how much lowering on the car?
It's not exactly a linear scale but generally about 4 to 5 mm per millimeter

Gee, these won't cause uneven tire wear will they???????
We recommend our adjustable rear camber arms to prevent inner tire wear.
