Description
BC Racing BR coilover kit Toyota GR86 ZN8 (22+) 5/5 kg/mm
The BC Racing BR coilover kit GR86 (part number C-185-BR-RA) is a coilover kit adjustable in height and damping, also simply called a coilover, for the Toyota GR86 (ZN8), from model year 2022. The spring rate is 5 kg/mm front and 5 kg/mm rear.
The BR series is the all-round coilover kit from BC Racing, intended for a GR86 that is driven on the road every day and does the occasional track day or autocross. The kit combines monotube dampers with a linear piston, 30 clicks of damping adjustment and a ride height you set independently of the spring preload.
The GR86 is a compact rear-wheel drive coupe that calls for suspension you can tune yourself. With this kit you choose the ride height and the damping stiffness, so the car suits the way you drive: on the way to work or during a day on track.
Key benefits
- Ride height independent of spring preload: lower the GR86 while the spring keeps its preload.
- 30-click damping adjustment: you set compression and rebound per damper in a single action.
- Monotube with linear piston: damping increases evenly with the speed of the wheel movement.
- Spring rate 5/5 kg/mm: 5 kg/mm front and 5 kg/mm rear, as BC Racing supplies the kit for the GR86.
- Pillowball top mounts at the front: or camber plates, with rubber or the original mounting at the rear.
- Patented concave lower lock ring: the set height stays firmly locked.
- Rebuildable: the dampers can be rebuilt.
- Road and track: suitable for daily use and the occasional track day or autocross.
Suitable for
Rear-wheel drive Toyota GR86 (ZN8) Coupe, model year 2022 and later. For the GT86 (ZN6) and the Subaru BRZ (ZD8), BC Racing supplies separate kits.
- Sporty everyday driving with a tighter GR86
- The occasional track day or autocross
- Lowering while the spring preload stays the same

Fitting and delivery
The kit is vehicle-specific and replaces the original dampers and springs. We recommend having it fitted by an experienced mechanic. On some cars the pillowball top mount at the front requires a small modification to the upper mounting; if in doubt, contact us. After setting the ride height, have the wheel alignment of the GR86 set again, because camber and toe change as well. The delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If BC Racing is temporarily sold out of the kit, you can still order and we will let you know when it arrives.
For the Toyota GR86 (ZN8), BC Racing supplies the BR coilover kit C-185-BR-RA with 5 kg/mm springs front and rear and 30-click damping adjustment.
Why choose this BR coilover kit GR86?
The GR86 has a well-balanced chassis, and with this kit you get more out of it. You choose the ride height yourself, the car rolls less in fast corners and you set the damping in 30 steps for road or track. Because the dampers are rebuildable, you can have them rebuilt after intensive use.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the BC Racing BR and DS coilover kits for the Toyota GR86?
The BR has a linear piston and is made for the road with occasional track use; the DS has a digressive piston and is more track-focused. The DS damps more firmly during slow body movements between 0 and 50 mm/s. If you mainly use your GR86 on the road, the BR coilover kit GR86 is the logical choice.
Does the BC Racing BR coilover kit fit every Toyota GR86 ZN8?
Yes, BC Racing releases this kit for the Toyota GR86 (ZN8) from model year 2022. The GR86 was only built as a rear-wheel drive coupe, so there are no body variants to take into account. For its predecessor, the GT86 (ZN6), and for the Subaru BRZ (ZD8), BC Racing has separate kits with their own part numbers.
Which top mounts does the BC Racing BR coilover kit for the Toyota GR86 have?
At the front the kit has pillowball top mounts or camber plates, at the rear rubber or the original mounting. If you are unsure whether the front mounting on your GR86 needs a small modification, contact us.
