XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Toyota FT86 / GT86 2012-2021

The GT86’s flat-four sits low in the nose and the weight balance is close to even, which is why Toyota built a momentum car that lives on its chassis rather than its 200-odd bhp. What the factory never properly sorted was damping: the OE struts let the body pitch and roll, blunting the very throttle-adjustability that makes the platform worth owning. The XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilover for the Toyota FT86 / GT86 is built to fix that without turning the car into something you resent on a Monday commute.

This is XYZ’s enthusiast-street setup, developed over several years by the company’s own team and shaken down in races worldwide before it reached production. It pairs a genuinely usable road ride with 720 increments of damping adjustment, so a single kit covers a relaxed B-road cruise and a committed track day.

What this coilover does for your 2012-2021 Toyota FT86 / GT86

Drop the ride height and you pull that low boxer centre of gravity lower still, sharpening turn-in the moment you commit to a corner. The 720-way damping range lets you run softer rebound for everyday roads, then wind in control for circuit sessions where the GT86’s tail rotates on a closed throttle. Body roll that used to mask the chassis balance is reined in, so weight transfer becomes something you read and trust rather than fight. Bump compliance stays civil enough for broken UK back roads, which matters on a car so many owners use daily. The upshot is a GT86 that finally responds the way its balance always promised.

About the Street Advanced coilover

The Street Advanced sits at the heart of XYZ Racing’s range and is the line the company shifts most of, refined across repeated development cycles by its in-house engineers. Before it reached the catalogue it was run in races across the world, and that testing fed back into both its valving and its longevity. The headline figure is 720 individual damping settings, giving a fine spread between supple and firm instead of a handful of coarse clicks. It is configured deliberately for dual duty: normal road driving through the week and track-day use at the weekend. XYZ pitches it as essential kit for drivers chasing both speed and control, and the spec sheet supports the claim.
