Side skirts manage airflow along the lower body between the front and rear wheel arches, reducing turbulence under the floor and improving underbody aerodynamic efficiency. On the GR86, the TYPE-S side skirts complement the front lip and canards by continuing the airflow management across the full length of the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"clear: both;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs \u0026amp; Highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTYPE-S side skirt design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManages underbody airflow along rocker panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces turbulent flow under the floor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the GR86 TYPE-S aero family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolypropylene construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: 2022-2024 Toyota GR86\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e30mm Downward Extension, 3-5 kg Downforce, 8-10 kg Lift Reduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TYPE-S side skirts extend the rocker panel profile by approximately 30mm downward, reducing the gap between the car's lower body and the road surface. This gap reduction is the primary aerodynamic mechanism, a smaller gap means less turbulent air can spill under the floor from the sides, which reduces underbody pressure loss and improves the effectiveness of any rear diffuser or undertray. HKS's contribution figure for the side skirts in isolation is approximately 3–5 kg of total downforce at 200 km\/h, with the more significant benefit being the 8–10 kg of underbody lift reduction they provide.\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/4122\/0668\/files\/5abc77089e0b5fb1185db18a7f56bf43_c8ac6fb7-d0f9-4396-aff2-f6b54d5837b7.jpg?v=1772084068\" alt=\"HKS TYPE-S Side Skirts - 2022-2024 Toyota GR86\" style=\"float: left; width: 40%; max-width: 300px; height: auto; margin: 0 20px 16px 0;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide Skirt Aerodynamics and Underbody Flow Management\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide skirts are one of the more aerodynamically significant aero pieces relative to their visual subtlety. They work continuously at any speed where airflow under the car is meaningful. Their effect is not as speed-dependent as canards or a wing. For a platform as light and aero-sensitive as the GR86, the underbody management they provide is a real improvement in high-speed stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"clear: both;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/4122\/0668\/files\/e505bb5a0d77f341a41166e26dd7dd2e_b6a35aa2-0762-41a3-b7a7-452f0b3f4656.jpg?v=1772084068\" alt=\"HKS TYPE-S Side Skirts - 2022-2024 Toyota GR86\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; margin: 20px 0;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContinuous Effect at All Speeds, Not Just High Speed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShips unpainted.

If you have the front lip and canards and you want to close out the lower body aerodynamic treatment, the side skirts are the next piece. They read as part of the car rather than an addition to it. The 8–10 kg underbody lift reduction from the side skirts is the aerodynamic contribution that is hardest to feel as downforce but most consistently affects driver confidence at speed. Lift reduction makes the car feel planted and stable; pure downforce adds tire load. Both are desirable, but the side skirts' lift reduction benefit manifests as improved straight-line stability and more consistent front-end feel at the top of the speed range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"clear: both;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52621251903768,"sku":"HKS53004-AT023","price":660.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4514\/4856\/files\/adyv2365fyk7_9b5acf5e-fbc0-41c0-b799-f59c220f0976.jpg?v=1788747401","url":"https:\/\/driveforges.com\/products\/hks-type-s-side-skirts-2022-2024-toyota-gr86-0gc6vb","provider":"Drive Forge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
