Description
Toyota ZN8 GR86 (22+) BC Racing ZR coilover kit 5/5 kg/mm
The BC Racing ZR coilover kit GR86 (part number C-185-ZR) 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 ZR series is the motorsport kit from BC Racing for competitive racing. The dual-piston dampers are 3-way adjustable: 20 clicks of low-speed compression, 12 clicks of high-speed compression and 30 clicks of rebound. The external reservoir can be mounted on the chassis or on the damper body and is connected with braided steel lines.
On the ZR, BC Racing uses an inverted monotube on MacPherson struts and an upright monotube on double wishbones. The damping is digressive, the oil synthetic, and you set the ride height completely independently of the spring preload. For the GR86, this is the kit for those who race.
Key benefits
- 3-way adjustable: low-speed and high-speed compression separately (20 and 12 clicks) and 30 clicks rebound.
- Reservoir placed where you choose: on the chassis or on the damper body, with braided steel lines.
- Ride height independent of spring preload: fully independently adjustable.
- Digressive damping: more damping during slow movements of the body.
- Synthetic oil: in all dampers of the kit.
- Inverted or upright: the construction follows the type of suspension.
- Spring rate 5/5 kg/mm: front and rear, as BC Racing supplies the ZR for the GR86.
- Rebuildable: the dampers can be rebuilt.
Suitable for
Toyota GR86 (ZN8), model year 2022 and later, the rear-wheel drive coupe. BC Racing has separate kits for the GT86 (ZN6) and the Subaru BRZ (ZD8).
- Competitive motorsport and club racing with the GR86

- Teams that want to set low-speed and high-speed compression separately

Fitting and delivery
The kit is vehicle-specific and replaces the original dampers and springs. We recommend having it fitted by an experienced mechanic. BC Racing advises periodic greasing of the RM and ZR series and recommends them less for road use than the BR, DS, ER or ZX. After setting the ride height, have the alignment set to your race setup. The delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If the ZR is temporarily sold out at BC Racing, you can still order; we will let you know when it arrives.
The BC Racing ZR kit C-185-ZR for the Toyota GR86 has an external reservoir that can be mounted on the chassis or on the damper body.
Why choose this ZR coilover kit GR86?
In the ZR, BC Racing combines 3-way adjustment, a reservoir that can be positioned flexibly and a ride height that is completely independent of the spring preload. This lets you set up a GR86 for racing, where you want to be able to make adjustments for each circuit and each session. Bear in mind that BC Racing recommends the ZR less for road use; for a car that is also driven a lot on the road, the ER or ZX is a better fit.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the BC Racing ZR and ZX coilover kits for the Toyota GR86?
Both are 3-way adjustable with 20, 12 and 30 clicks, but the ZR is aimed at competitive motorsport and has a reservoir that you can place on the chassis or on the damper body.
