Why You Need a Camber Kit for Your Lowered Tesla Model Y – My Unplugged Performance Upgrade
Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're into modding your Tesla like I am, you know that lowering your ride is one of the best ways to give it that aggressive, flush stance. But there's a catch: lowering springs change the geometry of your suspension, which messes with your wheel camber. That's where a camber arm kit comes in – and today, I'm breaking down my recent install on my Tesla Model Y Performance at Unplugged Performance.
The Problem with Lowering Your Tesla
When you drop your Tesla Model Y (or any Tesla, really), the wheels tilt inward more than they should. Stock suspension is designed for a certain ride height, and lowering it exaggerates the negative camber. This not only looks off but can hurt tire wear, handling, and stability – especially if you're taking it to the track like I am for Tesla Corsa events in late February and May.
Stock vs. camber-corrected wheels – night and day!
The Solution: Unplugged Performance Camber Arm Kit
Enter the Unplugged Performance camber arm kit. Paired with lowering springs and wheel spacers, this upgrade straightens out those wheels for a perfect flush fit. Here's what we did:
- Install the camber arms: These adjustable arms let you dial in the exact camber angle.
- Combine with springs and spacers: For that staggered, track-ready look.
- Pro alignment: Ensures everything is dialed in perfectly.
The result? Wheels sitting straight and flush, with just the right amount of stagger for killer aesthetics and performance.

Track-Ready Results
Rolling out of the shop, my Model Y looks mean and handles like a dream. The camber kit adds serious stability, making it ideal for those high-speed laps at Tesla Corsa. No more uneven tire wear or sloppy cornering – this setup is dialed.
Check out the side-by-side: stock camber was all wonky, but now it's perfect. If you're lowering your Tesla, don't skip the camber kit. It's a game-changer.
