Tesla Coilovers for the Model 3, Model Y and Model S

A 2022 Model 3 and a 2025 Model Y Juniper are both Teslas, but they share no kit. Three things decide which Tesla coilovers fit: the model, the year, and whether it is rear drive or AWD. BC Racing is listed first in each section.

Have your model, year and drive type handy and call 1-800-460-9106.

Animated illustration. It shows where coilovers sit on a car, not your exact kit. Depending on the car and the kit, coilovers can lean forward or back or stand straight up, and some cars use a separate spring and shock in the rear. Your ride height depends on the kit and how it is set up.

Choose a model

Three questions that pick your kit

A coilover kit replaces the factory spring and damper (shock) at each corner. On a Tesla, three facts decide which kit fits.

Which model

Model 3, Model Y and Model S each have their own kits. Only the Öhlins Road & Track kit fits two models.

Which year

BC has Model 3 kits for 2017 to 2022 and for 2024 on, and Model Y Juniper kits from 2025.

Rear drive or AWD

BC and KW sell separate rear-drive and AWD kits. TEIN and Ksport have rear-drive kits only.

BC Racing coilovers for Tesla

Eleven BC kits across three models

BC Racing makes only these series for the Tesla Model 3, Model Y and Model S: BR, DS, ER and ZX. ER and ZX come on all nine Model 3 and Model Y kits, while BC's two Model S kits come in BR and DS only. Free shipping on BC Racing kits in the continental US.

See all BC Racing coilovers Model 3 first

Two series for the Model S, four for the 3 and Y

The Model 3 and Model Y kits get two more BC series.

BR and DS, every model

On BC Racing BR coilovers, one knob with 30 clicks sets compression and rebound together. DS works the same way but adds a digressive piston for firmer control.

ER, Model 3 and Y

ER is an upright shock with its oil reservoir mounted outside. Compression and rebound adjust separately, 30 clicks each.

ZX, Model 3 and Y

BC calls it the "most track-tested" series.

Several BC Tesla kit names include the note "Swift Front Only". Swift Springs for BC coilovers on any Tesla are ordered through the Custom Build for BC Coilovers option.

We carry five more brands, mostly for the Model 3. Call 1-800-460-9106 and we will help you compare.

Every Tesla coilover kit we carry

They are listed Model 3 first, then Model Y, then Model S. Kit names come from the full product names.

Notes in BC kit names: "Swift Front Only" means the optional Swift spring upgrade is offered for the front springs only on that kit.

Codes: Not in the kit names

Before you buy: what Tesla Model 3, Y and S owners run into

What Tesla Model 3, Y and S owners report most often, from owner forums, recalls and service bulletins, and what each point means for your coilovers.

Front fore link failures on the Model S
Model S, 2015 to 2017 (and Model X, 2016 to 2017)

NHTSA probed about 115,000 Model S and X cars over front fore links breaking, mostly at low speed in parking lots. Tesla had issued a 2017 bulletin to replace some links, and NHTSA closed the probe based on Tesla's actions. Deal with a worn or suspect fore link before fitting coilovers.

Before you install: Ask Tesla whether your car's fore links have been replaced, and inspect them before fitting front coilovers.

Rear inner tire wear and rear camber
Model 3, 2017 on, and Model Y, 2020 on

Tesla Motors Club owners report fast rear inner tire wear on the Model 3 and Y, blaming camber, a wide factory alignment window and the cars' weight. One Model 3 owner on coilovers fought rear camber and tire wear warnings after lowering. Lowering adds rear camber, so inner wear can get worse.

Before you install: Get a full alignment after the drop. Plan on adjustable rear camber arms if you go low or the shop cannot bring camber back.

Tesla history

When the Model S, 3 and Y came out

Our oldest Tesla kit starts at 2012, for the Model S RWD. The San Francisco Chronicle reported in 2017 that "the Model S will remain a premium product" alongside the new Model 3.

  1. July 2017
    Model 3Tesla planned to hand the first 30 cars to customers on July 28, built at its Fremont factory.
  2. 2020
    Model YIn late 2019, Tesla moved the Model Y launch up to summer 2020.
  3. 2025
    JuniperBC has separate kits for the 2025 Model Y Juniper.

On this page, the year matters as much as the model.

Questions from Model 3, Y and S owners

Do Tesla Model 3 coilovers fit the Model Y?

Only the Öhlins Road & Track kit is made for both. Every other kit is for one model.

Is there a coilover kit for the 2024 Model 3?

Yes. BC has 2024 and later Model 3 kits for rear drive and AWD, separate from the 2017 to 2022 kits.

What about the 2025 Model Y Juniper?

BC sells Juniper kits for rear drive and AWD, for 2025 and later.

Which BC Racing series fit a Tesla?

Every BC Model 3 and Model Y kit comes in BR, DS, ER and ZX. BC's two Model S kits come in BR and DS only.

Will coilovers work on an air-suspension Model S?

BC's rear-drive Model S kit says "Except OEM Air Suspension" (factory air). Call us before ordering for an air-suspension car.

Is a BC Racing Tesla kit covered by a warranty?

BC Racing North America currently lists a two-year limited warranty on full kit orders, subject to its warranty terms. KW, Öhlins, TEIN, Fortune Auto and Ksport set their own.
