Top Five Subaru BRZ Performance Parts To Lower Track Times

There’s a reason why the shared Subaru BRZ, Scion FRS, and Toyota GT86 platform has garnered a loyal, enthusiastic fan base. These iconic front-engine, rear-wheel drive models are fun to drive and can be acquired without spending a small fortune, unlike many other sports cars.

Chances are you love your BRZ, FRS, or GR86 but the time has come to get serious about improving performance. You’ve come to the right place. Check out our top recommendations for Subaru BRZ performance parts and watch those track times drop.

Before You Tweak Aerodynamics, Consider Your Clutch Fork

This Subaru BRZ aftermarket clutch fork can handle your high-performance setup.

Your Subaru BRZ’s OEM clutch fork will likely be just fine for normal, everyday driving. But for higher-demand situations, like turning fast laps, it’s smart to go with an upgrade. After all, what’s the point of adding that sleek rear-wing assembly when your ride is struggling to shift gears? Subaru Aftermarket clutch forks can handle the added stress from heavy-duty clutches and deliver the consistent, reliable performance you want. Once you have this critical component, you can consider your aerodynamic options.

Increase Traction and Front-End Downforce With A Splitter

Get more downforce and traction with this Subaru BRZ front splitter.

One way to lower track times is by increasing downforce with a front splitter for your Subaru. This component enhances traction and reduces lift by sending the slower, higher-pressure air over the top of the vehicle. In the meantime, the faster, lower-pressure air slides nicely underneath. When paired with a rear diffuser and a rear wing, you can achieve the perfect balance and increase your enjoyment behind the wheel.

Install A Rear Diffuser to Balance Out Your Aerodynamic Setup

 Increase rear downforce and reduce aerodynamic drag on your Subaru BRZ with a rear diffuser like this one.

When opting for a front splitter, you’ll want to balance out your aerodynamic package with a rear diffuser for your Subaru. Purchasing from the same manufacturer is preferable to ensure a synchronized setup. The diffuser will increase your rear downforce and traction while reducing aerodynamic drag. There are various designs available, including those with more prominent, aggressive strakes.

Increase Downforce With A Rear Wing Assembly

Get a significant downforce boost on your Subaru BRZ, Toyota GT86, or Scion FRS with a rear wing assembly like this one.

Are you looking for a significant boost in rear downforce to balance out your front aerodynamics? Consider a rear wing assembly to enhance confidence and lower times. There are wings available that can generate and withstand up to 2000 pounds of downforce. Look for options that have undergone extensive analysis and on-track testing. Keep in mind, the best choice may be different for a professional driver vs. an auto enthusiast. 

Get The Right Aerodynamic Balance With a Dive Plane Kit

Balance out the aerodynamic setup of your Subaru BRZ with dive planes like the one seen here.

A primary consideration when installing Subaru BRZ performance parts is balance. There may be situations where you want to shift the aerodynamic balance forward to counteract a large rear wing or diffuser. A dive plane (canard) kit for your Subaru BRZ can be the perfect solution and will boost your front-end downforce without the need to adjust the splitter. You can often purchase these as part of an aerodynamic package.
