HKS Performance Damper Set

HKS Performance Damper Set - Toyota 86/GR86 & Subaru BRZ (2013+)

Sophisticated Chassis Tuning & Superior Ride Refinement

Transform the structural feel of your vehicle with the HKS Performance Damper Set. While traditional strut bars are static metal rods designed to limit flex, the HKS Performance Damper is a pressurized, gas-filled damping unit that actively dissipates energy. By mounting to key points on the front and rear of the chassis, these dampers absorb the minute structural vibrations that the driver feels through the steering wheel and seat. The result is a car that feels more "expensive"—offering sharper steering turn-in, increased tire contact consistency, and a significant reduction in cabin noise and vibration (NVH).

What’s Included in the Box:

- Front Performance Damper: (1) Custom-valved chassis damper with vehicle-specific brackets.

- Rear Performance Damper: (1) Custom-valved chassis damper with mounting hardware.

- Installation Hardware: All necessary bolts, spacers, and brackets for a secure fit.

- Detailed Instructions: A comprehensive guide for proper torque specs and alignment.

The HKS Advantage

- Active Vibration Absorption: Unlike solid braces that simply transfer energy from one side of the car to the other, these dampers convert chassis flex into heat and dissipate it, leading to a much more stable and composed ride.

- Improved Tire Grip: By stabilizing the chassis during high-speed cornering, the dampers help maintain a more consistent tire contact patch, giving the driver more confidence at the limit.

- Premium Ride Quality: This is the ultimate "street-spec" chassis upgrade. It significantly reduces the "buzzing" or harshness felt over expansion joints and rough pavement, making it ideal for daily drivers.

- Precision Engineering: Developed using Yamaha’s patented chassis damping technology and tuned by HKS specifically for the 86/BRZ platform to ensure the perfect balance of comfort and response.

- Direct Bolt-On Fitment: Designed to utilize existing factory mounting points, ensuring a clean installation that does not require permanent modifications to the vehicle's structure.

Precision Tip: If you have already installed a set of HKS Hipermax Coilovers or Cusco Engine Mounts, these dampers are the perfect "finishing touch." They help cancel out the extra vibrations those performance parts can introduce, giving you all of the handling benefits with none of the "race car" rattles. For the best result, ensure the vehicle is on a level surface (or a four-post lift) when tightening the final mounting bolts to ensure the dampers are under zero pre-load at static height.
