HKS HIPERMAX Coilover Kit - 2013-2021 Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ / Toyota

HIPERMAX Coilover Kit for the 2013-2021 FR-S, BRZ, and Toyota 86

The HKS HIPERMAX Coilover Kit for the 2013-2021 Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ, and Toyota 86 is HKS's entry-level coilover system for the first-generation FT86 platform. A height-adjustable, full coilover replacement that improves handling and lowers ride height over the factory suspension at an accessible price point in the HKS lineup.

Specs & Highlights

• Full coilover system, front and rear
• Height adjustable
• Street-performance calibration
• Entry level in HKS coilover lineup for FT86
• Fitment: 2013-2021 Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ / Toyota 86

4.5/4.0 kgf/mm, 30mm Piston Body, 12 Clicks

The entry HIPERMAX for the FT86 uses 4.5 kgf/mm (252 lbf/in) front and 4.0 kgf/mm (224 lbf/in) rear spring rates, lighter than the HIPERMAX S and appropriate for the primarily street use this coilover targets. Ride height adjustment is -10mm to -35mm front and -5mm to -30mm rear. The 30mm piston body shock uses a single combined compression/rebound adjustment dial with 12 clicks of range. The smaller piston body versus the performance variants is appropriate for the spring rates involved and keeps cost accessible.

Entry Point to HKS Coilover Suspension for the FT86

The HIPERMAX provides the fundamental coilover benefits, ride height control, improved spring rates, and better handling response, at the entry point of the HKS suspension range. For FA20 builds that want proper coilover control without committing to the higher spring rates of the Hipermax S or R, the HIPERMAX is the starting point.

Correct Lowering with Quality Hardware at the Accessible Tier

Four-wheel alignment required after installation. Height adjustment is straightforward and the spring perch setting allows ride height optimization within the coilover's design range.

The FT Breakdown

The HKS HIPERMAX is the accessible entry into properly engineered coilover suspension for the FT86. It delivers a meaningful improvement over stock and provides the height adjustment that springs-only kits cannot. For builds where budget is a consideration and the priority is a proper coilover system over maximum performance, the HIPERMAX is the right choice. The 4.5/4.0 kgf/mm at 12 clicks of adjustment represents HKS's engineering answer to the question of what a correctly-sprung FT86 feels like at the accessible end of the coilover market. The rates are significantly higher than OEM while remaining appropriate for road surfaces, and the 12 clicks provide meaningful adjustment resolution within that envelope. It is not the HIPERMAX S, but it is also not a spring kit with a shock body around it.
