When the Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ meet Cornerspeed inverted dampers, a precise handling experience—born on the racetrack yet adapted for the daily street—is born.

For Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ owners, suspension modification has always been a popular topic. As a brand equally focused on high-performance suspension systems, we deeply understand the subtle differences in the suspension tuning of these sister models. The factory 86 tuning is more lively and prone to drifting, while the BRZ places greater emphasis on cornering stability and precision.

Addressing these characteristics, the Cornerspeed High-Performance Inverted Dampers are designed specifically for 86/BRZ owners pursuing ultimate handling. Through unique construction and precision engineering, they allow your car to deliver exceptional performance on both the track and during daily driving.

Core Technical Advantages of the Inverted Damper Structure

The inverted damper design is the core highlight of Cornerspeed products. This design places the larger diameter damper body at the top, with the piston rod extending downwards, creating a stark contrast to traditional upright dampers.

This design not only reduces unsprung weight but also significantly enhances the suspension system's ability to resist lateral forces.

When a vehicle corners at high speeds, the suspension endures significant lateral stress. The inverted structure better maintains wheel alignment geometry, allowing the tires to maintain better contact with the road surface and improving grip.

The monotube design, paired with a large-diameter piston, provides more responsive fluid flow and superior thermal management performance. Under aggressive driving conditions, damper fluid temperatures can rise easily, potentially causing performance degradation due to heat fade in traditional dampers.

Cornerspeed's inverted design, with its optimized internal structure and greater fluid capacity, effectively mitigates heat fade. This ensures consistent damping performance remains stable even during multiple consecutive laps of intense driving on a track day.
