German Engineered Lowering Built for Everyday Tesla Model Y Performance
The Bilstein 47-348615 EVO S coilover kit brings genuine Nurburgring developed suspension tuning to the Tesla Model Y 4WD. Unlike simple lowering springs, this is a complete threaded body damper system that lets you dial in ride height while keeping the compliant, controlled ride Bilstein is known for. Every EVO S kit is engineered and assembled in Germany, then validated for real world street driving rather than track only extremes, so the Model Y stays comfortable on daily commutes while cornering flatter and reacting faster than the factory setup.

FAQ
What is the 47-348615?
The Bilstein 47-348615 is a complete EVO S front and rear coilover suspension kit for the Tesla Model Y 4WD, allowing ride height adjustment of up to 70mm while retaining a comfortable daily driving character.
Does this kit fit the rear wheel drive Model Y?
No. This kit is engineered specifically for the 4WD dual motor Model Y and is not designed for single motor rear wheel drive variants.
How much can I lower my Model Y with this kit?
The threaded body design allows adjustment of up to 70mm of lowering from stock ride height, so you can fine tune the stance to your preference.
Will this kit affect my factory ride quality?
The EVO S line is tuned for everyday street use rather than track only stiffness, so most owners experience improved handling with a ride quality that remains comfortable for daily driving.
Is professional installation required?
Bilstein designed this kit as a direct bolt in replacement for the factory suspension, so it can be installed by an experienced home mechanic with the right tools, though professional installation and an alignment afterward are recommended.
Does installing this kit require an alignment?
Yes. Any time ride height changes, camber and toe settings shift, so a full four wheel alignment is required after installation to protect tire wear and handling.
Where is the Bilstein 47-348615 manufactured?
This EVO S kit is designed and assembled in Germany, with development testing carried out at the Nurburgring.
What is the warranty on this suspension kit?
Bilstein EVO S products carry a 5 year limited warranty to the original purchaser when purchased through an authorized Bilstein distributor in North America.
