Ohlins Tesla Model 3 / Model Y Coilover Suspension - Road & Track
The Öhlins Road & Track Coilover Suspension for the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y brings the same precision suspension engineering found in global motorsport to one of the most performance-capable electric vehicle platforms available. Built around Öhlins' Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology and developed specifically for the unique weight distribution and chassis characteristics of the Model 3 and Model Y, this system delivers exceptional control over both compression and rebound damping — transforming the on-road and on-track dynamics of both vehicles.
Unlike conventional damper designs, the DFV system manages fluid flow across the full range of shaft speeds. At low shaft speeds, fluid passes through the bleed circuit for controlled, compliant damping. As shaft speed increases, flow transitions through the piston ports, and under high load or sudden impacts, the DFV opens to allow additional flow. This results in improved bump absorption, increased traction, and reduced harshness — critical for a platform where instant torque delivery demands a suspension system that can keep pace.
Öhlins compensates for heat-induced changes in fluid viscosity using a temperature-reactive needle bleed valve, which adjusts flow as damper temperatures rise during extended track use. This ensures consistent, predictable handling from street driving through sustained circuit sessions, regardless of ambient conditions or the significant thermal demands electric powertrains place on a chassis.
Ride height adjustment is handled independently from spring preload through a threaded lower mount design. This allows precise lowering without altering spring characteristics or reducing suspension travel, preserving the engineered balance of the system. The rear features an increased damper stroke over the previous generation kit, paired with custom-wound rear springs for improved compliance and contact patch consistency under the Model 3 and Model Y's rear-loaded weight distribution.
