HKS Type-S Front Canards

2022–2024 Subaru BRZ & Toyota GR86

53004-AT022

Overview:

The HKS Type-S Front Canards are precision-engineered aerodynamic components designed specifically for the 2022 and newer Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 models. These canards enhance the vehicle's front-end stability by reducing lift and managing airflow around the wheel wells, making them an excellent upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved high-speed handling and a motorsport-inspired aesthetic. Crafted with a focus on both form and function, the Type-S canards add aggressive styling cues while contributing to better aerodynamic performance on the road or track.

Ideal for drivers who want to elevate their GR86 or BRZ’s appearance and driving dynamics, these canards help maintain composure at higher speeds by generating vortices that redirect turbulent air, reducing drag and front-end lift. Whether you are a weekend track warrior or a style-conscious enthusiast, the HKS Type-S Front Canards offer a practical and visually striking enhancement.

Key Features:

Designed with advanced aerodynamic principles and quality craftsmanship, the HKS Type-S Front Canards deliver several key benefits:

• Reduces front-end lift by generating controlled vortices
• Redirects drag-inducing turbulent air away from the wheel wells
• Enhances high-speed stability and vehicle handling
• Motorsport-inspired aggressive styling for a race-ready look
• 3D CAD modeled for precise fitment and aerodynamic efficiency
• Constructed from durable FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) material
• Requires painting to match vehicle color for a seamless finish
• Limited manufacturer’s warranty from HKS for quality assurance

Construction & Design:

The HKS Type-S Front Canards are crafted from high-quality Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP), a lightweight yet strong material commonly used in performance automotive parts. This choice of material ensures durability while keeping weight to a minimum, preserving the vehicle’s balance and responsiveness. Each canard is precisely 3D CAD modeled to perfectly complement the contours of the 2022+ Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 front bumper, ensuring a seamless integration that looks factory-installed.

Because the canards come in a raw FRP finish, they require professional painting to match your vehicle’s color, allowing for a custom, high-end appearance that enhances the overall aesthetic. The design focuses on generating aerodynamic vortices that reduce lift and drag, improving front-end grip and stability during spirited driving or track use.

Installation & Fitment:

The HKS Type-S Front Canards are designed for direct fitment on the 2022 and newer Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 models. Installation typically involves securely mounting the canards to the front bumper using the provided hardware or recommended adhesives. Due to the FRP construction, painting is necessary prior to installation to achieve a factory-quality finish.

Installation is straightforward for those with basic automotive modification experience, but professional installation is recommended to ensure proper alignment and finish. Please note that these canards are not compatible interchangeably between the Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86; ensure you select the correct version for your vehicle.
