Subaru BRZ 2012-2021 — Coilovers

The first-generation BRZ was built around a low-mounted FA20 boxer and deliberately modest factory tyres, a rear-drive coupe engineered to rotate at speeds that won’t lose you your licence. The standard dampers, though, were soft, and the body roll they allowed blunted the very adjustability Subaru chased. A coilover kit is the first real handling upgrade most owners make.

The XYZ Racing coilover range for the Subaru BRZ 2012-2021 puts ride height and damping back in your hands. Nine specifications cover the spread, from the fast-road Super Sport and Street Advanced, through the Top Sport and Circuit Master track setups, to dedicated Drift Spec, Tarmac Rally, Gravel Rally, Racing Spec and Pro Rally builds.

What these coilovers do for your 2012-2021 Subaru BRZ

Drop the BRZ onto these coilovers and the first thing you feel is the roll gone – the chassis stops leaning on its outer tyre and starts loading it cleanly, so the lift-off rotation the car is known for arrives on your terms rather than catching you mid-corner. Lower ride height pulls an already low centre of gravity down further and tightens the stance over the 17-inch wheels. Firmer, adjustable damping keeps the rear settled as you feed in throttle out of the FA20’s well-documented mid-range torque dip, where an unsettled axle costs you drive. On a B-road that same control turns the BRZ from floaty to faithful; on track it holds an attitude through long corners instead of washing wide.

About the BRZ coilover range

Every kit in the range is a height-adjustable coilover on a threaded body, so you set corner height independently of damper travel rather than crudely lowering on a fixed perch. The damping-adjustable specs – Top Sport, Circuit Master, Racing Spec and the rally builds – add an adjuster that lets you trade ride compliance for body control as the use case demands. Spring rates and valving step up as you move from Street Advanced toward Racing Spec and Pro Rally, matching the kit to a road car, a weekend track tool or a competition build. The Drift Spec answers the BRZ’s huge following in the sliding scene with damping and ride height suited to sustained angle, while the Tarmac and Gravel Rally specs draw on XYZ Racing’s stage-rally work. Pick the spec to the job and the BRZ rewards it.
