HKS Hypermax S Coilovers - 2022-2024 Subaru BRZ

Hypermax S Coilovers for the 2022-2024 Subaru BRZ

The HKS Hypermax S Coilovers for the 2022-2024 Subaru BRZ are HKS's street-performance coilover solution for the second-generation BRZ chassis. The Hypermax S calibration provides the street-to-track balance that HKS has refined across multiple platform generations. Enough spring rate and damper control to significantly improve handling while remaining compliant enough for daily driving. BRZ-specific tuning accounts for the platform's suspension geometry and weight distribution.

Specs & Highlights

• Full coilover system, front and rear
• Street-performance Hypermax S calibration
• Height adjustable
• BRZ-specific spring rates and damping
• Fitment: 2022-2024 Subaru BRZ

6/5 kgf/mm, 30 Clicks, BRZ-Specific Damper Valving

The AF020 BRZ Hypermax S uses 6.0 kgf/mm front and 5.0 kgf/mm rear, identical rates to the GR86 AT027 application, reflecting the shared FA24 platform. BRZ-specific tuning in the damper valving accounts for minor differences in the BRZ suspension geometry calibration versus the GR86. Ride height adjustment is -15mm to -40mm front, -10mm to -35mm rear. The 36mm shock body and 30 clicks adjustment are consistent with the rest of the HIPERMAX S lineup.

BRZ Platform Nuances in the Hypermax S Calibration

The 2022+ BRZ and GR86 share architecture but Subaru and Toyota have historically allowed minor tuning differences between the two variants. HKS offers BRZ-specific coilover kits to account for any setup differences. The Hypermax S for the BRZ delivers the same fundamental performance improvement as the GR86 equivalent while being calibrated for the BRZ's specific characteristics.

Alignment Required, Height Adjustment Explained

Height adjustment is independent of damper setting, allowing ride height optimization without compromising suspension function. Four-wheel alignment after installation is required. The Hypermax S adjustment range covers the spectrum from spirited street driving to occasional track use.

The FT Breakdown

The Hypermax S BRZ kit is for owners who drive the car regularly and want the suspension to feel as good as the rest of the platform. The improvement over stock is immediate and the ride quality stays within an acceptable range for daily use. The right coilover for the driver who wants both. The BRZ-specific damper valving in the Hypermax S AF020 is not a minor variant note — it reflects actual testing on the BRZ platform that found a different compression curve optimum than the GR86 AT027. For a car as driver-sensitive as the BRZ, that valving difference is perceptible at the limit of the tire, where chassis feedback is the information you are processing.
