BAAN Air Suspension Lowering Links for Tesla Model S are developed by BaanVelgen for the Tesla Model S equipped with factory air suspension.
Set the ride height of your Tesla Model S to suit an OEM+ wheel setup or a more purposeful road stance. This vehicle-specific BAAN kit works with the original ride-height sensors and does not require an electronic lowering controller.
Key benefits for the Model S
- Complete vehicle-specific solution: The price includes a complete vehicle-specific lowering-link set for the front and rear axles.
- Adjustable while installed: opposing left-hand and right-hand threads allow fine adjustment by rotating the central adjuster while the links remain connected to the vehicle.
- Corrosion-resistant construction: precision-machined aluminium adjusters are combined with stainless-steel link ends and ball-joint sockets for exposed underbody use.
- Secure mechanical retention: locking nuts secure the selected length and dual metal safety-retaining clips help keep the sockets connected to the factory sensor balls.
- No coding or electronic module: the links mechanically change the ride-height sensor reference without adding a controller to the vehicle wiring.
- Reversible installation: the original sensor links can be reinstalled to return the vehicle to its original configuration.
Model S lowering range
| Front axle | 0 to approximately 50 mm lower |
|---|---|
| Rear axle | 0 to approximately 50 mm lower |
Front and rear settings can be fine-tuned independently where applicable. The final measured ride height depends on the original vehicle calibration, suspension mode, vehicle load, tyre pressure and wheel-and-tyre configuration. Substantial lowering should be assessed for tyre clearance, suspension travel and road suitability.

How BAAN Lowering Links work
The factory ride-height sensors measure suspension position through short mechanical links. Replacing the fixed original links with adjustable BAAN links changes the mechanical reference supplied to the suspension controller. The vehicle then maintains a lower static position without software coding or an electronic signal-interception module.
The original self-levelling controls and selectable suspension modes remain available. The selected lowering height can influence suspension travel, wheel alignment and ride characteristics, so the final setting should be chosen for the vehicle’s actual road use.
Vehicle compatibility
Designed for the following Tesla applications when equipped with the stated factory suspension system:
- Model S
Compatibility is limited to vehicles equipped with the specified factory air-suspension system. Contact BaanVelgen with the VIN or suspension specification when fitment is uncertain.
What is included?
- Complete vehicle-specific BAAN lowering-link set
- Stainless-steel link ends and ball-joint sockets
- Locking nuts and safety-retaining clips
- Vehicle-specific installation and baseline adjustment guidance
Installation and adjustment
Installation normally takes approximately 60–90 minutes for an experienced installer. Work on a level surface, follow the vehicle-specific lifting and air-suspension procedures, and handle the original sensor arms carefully. Measure the vehicle before adjustment and change the link lengths in small, equal steps.
After the desired ride height has settled, BaanVelgen recommends checking wheel alignment, tyre clearance and sensor-link retention. Incorrect installation or excessive lowering can cause uneven tyre wear, reduced suspension travel or contact with surrounding components.
Frequently asked questions
Can BAAN Lowering Links be adjusted while installed?
Yes. The opposing left-hand and right-hand threads allow the central adjuster to be rotated while both ends remain attached. This avoids repeatedly disconnecting the links from the factory sensor arms during fine adjustment.
Is software coding required?
No. The lowering method is mechanical and does not require software coding or an electronic lowering controller.
Do the factory suspension modes still work?
The original suspension controls, self-levelling operation and selectable modes remain available. The final ride characteristics depend on the chosen height and the complete vehicle setup.
Are the links suitable for wet and winter conditions?
The exposed components use corrosion-resistant stainless steel, while the central adjuster is machined from aluminium. As with any underbody component, periodic inspection and cleaning are recommended after heavy winter or salt exposure.
Is wheel alignment required after lowering?
A professional alignment check is recommended after the vehicle has settled at its final ride height, particularly when using a substantial drop or non-standard wheels and tyres.
