Manufactured by Megan Racing, this $1,407.12 coilover kit is a perfect fit for your Toyota GR86, and Subaru BRZ 2022+. The system features 32 levels of damper force adjustment, where compression and rebound adjustments are separate for increased tuning capability. The coil-over body also features separate spring perch adjustment and full shock height adjustment independent of spring pre-load to retain full suspension stroke while allowing the vehicle to be corner-balanced, which is often an integral part of suspension tuning as an aggressive alignment. the Megan Racing SPEC-RS Coil-over Damper Kits come with fully adjustable Pillow-Ball upper mount camber plates to easily tune and adjust your camber, giving you a competitive edge over other suspension setups. This allows you to tune your car for any ride height and still adjust camber to improve handling, vehicle predictability, and tire wear, which is a great benefit both on the race track and on the street.

4. Fortune Auto Dreadnought Pro 3 Way Coilovers Toyota GR-86 (ZN8) 2022+
Available for $8,999, this may be the most expensive kit on this list but its benefits and features make this one of the best kits out there. Manufactured by Fortune Auto, the dreadnought PRO dampers are the foundation of a race-winning suspension, and they were designed and tested in the harshest environment possible- the race track. Offering top-tier race technology and durable race-proven components, Dreadnought PRO damper systems are the ultimate in performance and adjustability. The ultra-wide range of adjustment offered by the CFD piston allows for the convenience of tuning your suspension without having to revalve your dampers. A conventional shock absorber can withstand a 2kg spring rate difference before requiring a revalve, whereas the Concave Flow Digressive Technology has a broad range of 8kg spring rates. This is invaluable for tuning your suspension quickly at the track on race day. Lower spring rates can be stiffened up by using the wide damping range as an artificial spring rate, while higher spring rates feel much smoother. The large adjustment range contributes to a comfortable ride on the street and unyielding performance on the track, all with the twist of a single adjustment knob.
Features:
