Description
Unplugged Performance Billet Adjustable Front Upper Control Arms – Ultimate Edition. No expenses spared for the ultimate results. Featuring patent pending quick camber change functionality allowing for ultra precise changes between race camber and street camber in under 5 minutes using just an Allen wrench and a floor jack. True asymmetrical billet monoblock design allows for perfect left and right side geometry with precise adjustment of camber, toe and caster with maximum upright clearance. Allows drivers to run -4.0 degree race camber (or more) and easily drive home on street camber pill.
ORIGINS
Unplugged strives for perfection with everything they do. They pioneered the world’s first adjustable upper control arms for the Model 3 back in late 2017. Since then they’ve gone through multiple versions, many of which are kept for internal development and never saw public release. Over the years Unplugged has grown and had the pleasure of supporting thousands of streetcars as well as setting racing records around the world. This experience has led them to what they internally called the version 4 front upper control arm. In simple terms, they feel it is the Ultimate. Unplugged has set records with the fastest Model 3 and Model Y on early prototypes of these and are pleased to release them to clients. Read on to see why Unplugged calls these the ultimate…
*Updated for summer 2021 onward to enable extreme clearance to ensure no contact with chassis in the most severe use cases. As utilized in Germany on the full TUV road legal UP development Model 3 Performance which is kept at the Nurburgring & tested for over 15,000km of hard Nurburgring track use and counting!
Patent Pending Camber Quick Change Pill
Unplugged drives their race cars to the track on Autopilot, set lap records, and drive home. This is the preferred way to experience the amazing duality of a Tesla being the perfect daily and the perfect track weapon. They wanted a solution that was the ultimate in precision for a camber quick change. They came up with a two setting quick-change pill design that can be swapped at the track in 5 minutes using just an Allen wrench and a floor jack. You’ll notice from a top view the clear labeling of Street or Track camber setting of the ball joint. The beauty of this design (aside from the speed of swapping) is that it is precision engineered and machined to allow the most accurately consistent retention of alignment setting that is not achievable as precisely any other way. We all spend a lot of time and money on getting finely tuned alignment settings for our cars. This method keeps the alignment precise between quick camber swaps between street and track. You’ll never need to worry about alignments remaining precisely where you set them, even after much quick camber changes. Simply enjoy two degrees of additional negative camber at the track and when you swap it back you’ll be spot on to your original street alignment.
No Expense Spared – Asymmetrical Billet Design With Camber, Caster, and Toe Adjustment
It isn’t cheap to install parts, get alignment, and race. Unplugged figured why cut corners on budget when a few hundred dollars more can make the difference in performance, let’s just build the best product money can buy. Sure enough, these were not cheap to make. Each monoblock aluminum arm encases the ball joint in a massively rigid asymmetrical design. You’ll notice laser etching denoting LH and RH sides reflecting this. Each side has easy to access turnbuckles and bottom access adjustment points for alignment and provides full control of camber, caster, and toe for the ultimate in alignment options. The shape is precisely sculpted in CAD to optimize suspension travel and retains clearance on full compression.
Negative Camber – Sure How Much?
More than you can afford pal. Seriously though, when Unplugged tested on their race car they maxed out at 5.8 degrees of negative camber on the race setting (3.8 degrees on street pill setting). It is safe to say that there is more camber adjustment possible than anyone would ever need. On the race cars they find the fastest settings on race slicks require -4.0 degrees of front camber which these do with ease. Want to lift your car and go overlanding? No problem, these can go positive camber as well to offset for increased height. This design allows for the maximum in flexibility of adjustable camber range. Please note that actual max/min camber depends on variables such as vehicle ride height and type of spring/shock combination.
Silent and Low Vibration OEM Type Sealed Spherical Bearing Design
Unplugged has set multiple racing records with these but you can enjoy them for your daily commute in blissful Autopilot enabled meditative silence as well. We guarantee it, along with all of our suspension products.
Quality You Can See
They spend a lot on materials and like to show them off in a hi-tech way. Unplugged uses a rugged and corrosion-resistant Cerakote clear coating to encapsulate and show off the precisely CNC machined and laser etched aircraft grade 6061-T6 billet Aluminum.
Wheel Speed Sensor Mounting
Although not shown in the initial photos, Unplugged includes in the design an integrated attachment point to securely attach the wheel speed sensor line.
