Construction & Design:
The HKS Carbon Brace Full Set is crafted using advanced carbon fiber shafts supplied by GRAPHITE DESIGN, a renowned manufacturer trusted by professional golfers worldwide. This collaboration ensures the braces deliver exceptional strength while maintaining a degree of controlled flexibility that traditional steel braces cannot match. The carbon fiber weave not only provides superior structural integrity but also adds a visually striking element under the hood.
The design replaces the factory front steel brace with a carbon shaft that connects to additional carbon bars reinforcing the rear chassis. This full set approach enhances the overall torsional rigidity of the vehicle, improving handling dynamics without compromising ride quality. The carbon material’s natural vibration damping properties contribute to a refined driving experience by reducing harshness transmitted through the chassis.
Installation & Fitment:
The HKS Carbon Brace Full Set is a direct fit for the 2022 and newer Subaru BRZ (ZN8) and Toyota GR86 (ZD8) models. Installation requires removal of the stock front steel brace and mounting of the carbon front and rear braces using factory mounting points. While professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fitment and torque specifications, the kit is designed to integrate seamlessly with the vehicle’s existing chassis components without the need for modifications.
