Subaru ZD8 BRZ (22+) BC Racing ZX coilover kit 5/5 kg/mm
The BC Racing ZX coilover kit BRZ ZD8 (part number F-36-ZX) is a coilover kit adjustable in height and damping, also simply called a coilover, for the Subaru BRZ (ZD8) with rear-wheel drive, from model year 2022. The spring rate is 5 kg/mm front and 5 kg/mm rear.
The ZX series is the 3-way coilover kit from BC Racing that brings the DS and the ER together. You set low-speed compression in 20 clicks, high-speed compression in 12 clicks and rebound in 30 clicks. BC Racing makes the ZX for competitive track work, long sessions and demanding drifting.
The dampers are upright dual-piston monotubes with an external reservoir, digressive damping and racing oil with a very high viscosity index. For the Subaru BRZ (ZD8), the kit has 5 kg/mm springs front and rear, a replaceable upper mount and camber plates on suitable kits.

BC Racing supplies the ZX kit F-36-ZX for the Subaru BRZ (ZD8) with 3-way adjustment: 20, 12 and 30 clicks for low-speed and high-speed compression and rebound.
Why choose this ZX coilover kit BRZ ZD8?
A BRZ that drifts or does long sessions on track needs a kit that you can adjust to each situation. For that, the ZX gives you three separate settings, an external reservoir and racing oil. Compared with the DS you get much more adjustment range, and compared with the ER an extra setting for high-speed compression.
