HKS 80330-AF020P Hipermax S Coilovers Lowering for 2022-2026 Subaru BRZ FA24

Vehicle Fitment

• 2022-2026 Subaru BRZ (ZD8 Platform, FA24 Naturally Aspirated, RWD)

Fitment Notes

• Fits ZD8 BRZ produced from August 2021 onward
• Does not fit 2013-2021 Subaru BRZ (ZC6 platform)
• Does not fit Toyota GR86 ZN8 - GR86 requires separate HKS part number 80330-AT027P due to different OEM suspension arm geometry
• For automatic transmission vehicles, HKS recommends raising front ride height 3mm from factory setting to compensate for added vehicle weight

Features

• Single-tube monotube damper with separated gas and oil chambers for consistent, stable damping force
• 30-step damping force adjustment on both front and rear for street-to-track tuning flexibility
• Front pillow ball (spherical) upper mount for sharper steering response and reduced flex vs. rubber mount
• Dual Preload Valve System (Dual PVS) reduces unnecessary high-speed damping force for improved ride comfort
• Inverted front strut design reduces unsprung weight and increases lateral rigidity under cornering loads
• Advanced bump stop rubber minimizes body roll while maintaining compliance over large impacts
• PNE coating delivers 5x corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanizing
• 3-year manufacturer warranty with overhaul service available

Product Description

The HKS Hipermax S Coilovers (80330-AF020P) are purpose-built for the second-generation Subaru BRZ (ZD8), fully retuned to take advantage of the platform's stiffer body construction compared to the ZC6. The "P" designation indicates front pillow ball upper mounts, delivering more direct steering feel and reduced compliance loss under lateral load - a meaningful upgrade for drivers who prioritize corner response. Ride height is independently adjustable at all four corners, with a generous range of up to 61mm front and 64mm rear of lowering from stock height.

HKS's Dual Preload Valve System and wide-range needle jet keep the damping character smooth and predictable across adjustment steps, making it easy to find a setting that works for both daily street use and spirited canyon or track driving. The inverted front monotube design lowers unsprung mass and improves camber stiffness, while the rear normal-layout dampers keep the BRZ's natural balance intact. This kit ships pre-assembled at a mild factory-default drop, ready to install and drive without requiring immediate corner-balancing.
