Description

Note: These links are for 2012 – 2020 and pre-refreshed Tesla Models S and X. If you have a 2021 refreshed Long Range or Plaid then please visit this link for the correct links:  2021+ Tesla S/X RSX-3 TARTAN Lowering Links

N2itive’s performance RSX-4 ride height adjustment links are the most advanced lowering links for the Tesla Model S or X on the market. Our links allow you to fully retain your active suspension dampening and software ride height adjustability with each setting now lower than before.  Our links allow for the most minute of changes, as the built in scale measures your adjustments down to a 1/10th of a millimeter.  With the built-in Vernier scale you can always check the length of each link, making sure all links are at exact settings for a precise ride height.  No need to use a caliper every time you want to change your height or make adjustments by feel.  Our links offer the ability go anywhere from a subtle drop to a completely slamming your Model S or X.

The RSX-4 ride height adjustment links/lowering links come in two variations. Our anodized red version with a 3-year warranty and our black on black electroless nickel plated finish with a LIFETIME WARRANTY.  They are the perfect match for our SX-2 and TSX-2 control arms, allowing you to get both the ideal look and accurate alignment for your Model S or X while eliminating acceleration shudder and inner tire wear.  Each set comes with 4 links, with the shorter 2 links installed in the front and the longer pair in the rear.  Installation takes only 30 minutes and can be done with just a jack and simple pry tools.

Please note that installing lowering links on your Tesla could cause inner tire wear if you don’t also install our adjustable control arms to reduce the excess negative camber that occurs when lowering the car.  Inner tire wear can cause an unexpected blowout so please keep an eye on the inside of your rear tires and follow our alignment specs on the installation pages.  We recommend installing our Alignment Kit 1 which comes with the lowering links and both toe and camber arms as a set.

5 Reasons To Choose Our RSX-4 Tesla S/X Lowering Links

  1. Dial in the perfect height: N2itive’s adjustable lowering links for the Tesla S/X allow precise adjustment down to 1/10thmm that can easily be replicated on all links.  No longer is lowering your Tesla a guessing game, making small adjustments multiple times only to leave one side of the vehicle higher than the other.  Just rotate the adjustment dial to match the same setting, no need to unplug/disconnect the links first.  You can easily adjust them while they’re still on the car!
  2. Simple locking mechanism:  We have a single setscrew that allows you to easily make adjustments with the 1.5mm Allen wrench included in the box.  To change the length of your links you can slightly loosen the Allen screw, dial in the ride height, and re-tighten the Allen screw.  This is superior to similar links on the market that require you to remove the links, use two wrenches to loosen separate lock nuts, then make a blind adjustment, and finally re-tighten both locking nuts again and hope you got the correct and even height all around.
  3. Easy calibration:  If your sensors need to be re-calibrated from Tesla, our links can easily be reset to 0mm, or factory length.  After the calibration is done the links can be reverted back to the preferred setting with no guess work involved.  No other lowering links offer this, and most lowering brackets will require reinstallation of the original brackets before re-calibration.
  4. Design & Quality:  Our thought process on our performance RSX-4 lowering links was to use the highest quality materials and a really well thought out design to create something from the ground up.  We wanted to create something that was really nice both in function and aesthetics, especially being that they’re made for a the most amazing cars on earth.
  5. Corrosion resistance.  All of our parts are either anodized or electroless nickel plated and have Viton® seals to prevent water/salt intrusion for the longest durability.  Now shipping with our new German made TPU end sockets!

Please note that lowering your Tesla brings the vehicle closer to the ground which could potentially make the undercarriage including the battery more vulnerable to damage.  While we haven’t had any complaints we wanted to give you a heads up of the possibility.  N2itive, LLC is not responsible for any damage caused to your vehicle.

Installation

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: RSX-4

Estimated Labor: 0.5-1 hour(s)
Recommended Settings: -4 mm on each lowering link

Parts and Tools Necessary:
-21mm wrench and socket
-1.5mm allen key (included)
-Flat head screwdriver or other prying tool
-Channellocks (preferably taped to prevent damage)
-Torque Wrench

BEFORE INSTALL:
-If the vehicle is equipped with air suspension, activate “Jack Mode” through the touchscreen before lifting the vehicle. The air suspension will attempt to self-level otherwise, which may cause serious damage, bodily injury, or death.
-Make yourself familiar with the proper way to jack and lift your Tesla before attempting installation.
-For vehicles pre-refresh: the shorter 50mm links are to be installed in the front of the car, and the 70mm links in the rear. Keep note of how the links currently sit on the car, as this will be important for reassembly.

REAR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION:
1. Jack the vehicle up from the appropriate lift areas, as shown below. Using lift pads between the jack and the vehicle’s frame is highly recommended in order to avoid damaging the vehicle.
2. Loosen the lug nuts (21mm) and remove the rear wheel.
* Before removal of the lowering links, take pictures of the links as reference for reassembly. Improper positioning of the links will lead to error codes when you finish the install.
3. Pry off the sensor link from the ball attached to the camber arm. This can be done with a large flat head screwdriver or small pry bar, gently using the original camber arm as a fulcrum point. Always exercise caution when dealing with the links, as they have many points of failure.
4. Once one side is free, you may peel the link back until it pops off of the green arm attached to the ride height sensor. Again, use caution as the plastic can be brittle on the sensor side.
5. Using either your fingers or a channellock, press the N2itive lowering links back onto the studs. If using channellocks, it is advised to put a layer of cloth or tape between the link and the channellock to avoid damage on the finish.
* For customers with the RSX-2 links, please re-grease the links annually to ensure that there is adequate lubrication. Failure to do so may result in seized links, which may break off and cause errors in the suspension system.
6. Remount the wheels back on the vehicle and torque down the lug nuts to 129 ft/lbs (175 Nm). Make sure to remove all jack stands and tools from under the vehicle before you let it down.

FRONT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION:
1. Raise the air suspension to the “Very High” setting and activate “Jack Mode” through the vehicle’s screen. Some refreshed models may find the process easier with the wheel off.
2. Pry off the short sensor link from the ball attached to the camber arm. This can be done with a large flat head screwdriver or small pry bar, gently using the original camber arm as a fulcrum point. Use extreme caution in the front, as the arm and stud attachment are made of plastic.
3. Once one side is free, you may peel the link back until it pops off of the green arm attached to the ride height sensor. Again, use caution as the plastic can be brittle on the sensor side.
4. Some older models may require the fender liner to be trimmed. Test the range of motion that the green arm has, and if it seems to get stuck in the liner, trim accordingly to fit the longer links on the car. Please use caution to not cut the wiring behind the liner.
4. Using either your fingers or a channellock, press the N2itive lowering links back onto the studs. If using channellocks, it is advised to put a layer of cloth or tape between the link and the channellock to avoid damage on the finish.

ADJUSTMENT:
-Adjustment of the RSX-4 is to be made using the 1.5mm allen key as provided alongside the links.
-Loosen the allen screw one rotation to allow the neck to move freely. Tighten or rotate the link clockwise to lengthen the link, thus lowering the car. Loosening or rotating the link counter-clockwise will shorten the link and raise the car.
-Once you are done adjusting, tighten the set screw until it is snug. Do not overtorque the set screw, as it may strip or damage the neck.
-Adjustments can be made while the links are on or off the vehicle. We recommend you figure your preferred ride height before getting an alignment.
