HKS Performance Damper - 13-16 Scion FR-S / 2013-2022+ Subaru BRZ / Toyota GT86 & 22+ GR86

The HKS Performance Damper® is a premium chassis refinement upgrade for the Toyota 86, GR86, and Subaru BRZ platform. Developed using Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.’s Performance Damper technology and fine-tuned by HKS for each vehicle application, this kit is designed to reduce body flex, absorb small chassis vibrations, and improve overall driving feel.

By controlling subtle frame movement during steering input and road impacts, the HKS Performance Damper® helps the car feel smoother, more composed, and more precise. The result is sharper handling response without adding harshness, plus improved cabin quietness for a more refined driving experience.

Key Features

• Fine-Tuned by HKS: Yamaha Performance Damper technology optimized by HKS for the 86 / GR86 / BRZ platform.
• Improved Handling Response: Helps reduce body flex and chassis deflection during steering input.
• More Precise Line Tracing: Gives the car a smoother, more predictable feel when following your intended driving line.
• Advanced Vibration Damping: Absorbs micro-vibrations transmitted from the road surface through the chassis.
• Improved Cabin Comfort: Helps reduce noise and vibration inside the cabin for a more refined drive.
• No-Mod Installation: Designed to install in carefully selected mounting locations without vehicle modification.

Why We Like It

This is not just a “make it stiffer” chassis part. The HKS Performance Damper® is about refinement and control. It helps the chassis feel more settled over rough roads, more responsive during steering inputs, and quieter inside the cabin. For a street-driven 86/BRZ that still sees backroads or track days, this is a very OEM+ way to improve the car without making it harsher.

Outstanding Handling Performance

Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.’s Performance Dampers are fine-tuned by HKS to suit each vehicle application. By reducing body flex and deflection during steering input, the system improves handling precision and helps the car trace your intended line more accurately. The end result is a smoother, more confident driving experience.

Advanced Vibration Damping

The Performance Damper® absorbs small vibrations that travel from the road surface through the frame. This helps reduce cabin noise and unwanted vibration, improving comfort and making the interior feel more refined during everyday driving.
