APR Performance for Toyota GR86 & Subaru BRZ

APR's ZN8/ZD8 catalogue is built around chassis-specific aero. The GTC-300 adjustable wing is the popular choice and comes in two span options — 61" (1550mm) for cleaner, tighter fitment that stays closer to the body, and 67" (1700mm) for wider widebody builds or where maximum downforce is the priority. Both wings use CFD-developed airfoil profiles with an 8.8:1 downforce-to-drag ratio, adjustable angle of attack from 0–15°, and 10mm aircraft-grade 6061 billet aluminium pedestals with GR86/BRZ-specific mounting brackets. For the front, APR offers a chassis-specific front splitter with stainless steel support rods, canard sets, and side rocker extensions — a complete aero package that keeps the car balanced rather than just adding drag.

The original 86/BRZ/FR-S chassis is still one of the most popular club motorsport and time attack platforms in Australia, and APR's ZN6/ZC6 aero range remains a current catalogue item. The GT-250 pedestal wing is the entry-level choice — single-element, 61" span, clean lines that suit a stock-bodied car. Step up to the GTC-300 in either 61" or 67" for serious track builds where adjustability and more downforce are worth the extra commitment. APR also stocks chassis-specific front splitters, canards, and side skirts for the ZN6/ZC6. If you are running a 1st-gen car, the key thing to confirm is whether your bumper is standard or has been updated to a later-model or aftermarket front — splitter fitment depends on it.

The GR86/BRZ is a balanced chassis, and that balance depends on the front end producing downforce to match whatever is happening at the rear. A big GTC-300 wing without a splitter to match will push the car into understeer at speed — the fastest way to go slower. APR's front wind splitters are chassis-specific carbon fibre, include stainless steel support rods to handle high-speed loads, and are available for both ZN8/ZD8 and ZN6/ZC6 bumpers. Pair with the canard kits and side skirt extensions for a complete front-end aero package. For the theory on why splitters matter, read our front splitter guide.

APR's GR86/BRZ canard sets bolt to the front bumper corners and work with the splitter to manage front-end airflow and reduce lift ahead of the front wheels. Rear diffusers accelerate airflow under the floor and reduce rear lift — particularly valuable on a lightweight car where aerodynamic lift can unsettle the rear axle at speed. APR also offers hood vents and radiator cooling plates for builds that see consistent track time and need to manage underhood temperatures. Together with a wing and splitter, these parts create a genuine balanced aero package.

APR's GT3 Formula carbon fibre mirrors are a popular universal upgrade for GR86/BRZ builds. Same mirror design used on factory GT3 race cars — lightweight, adjustable for vision at track ride heights, and aerodynamically cleaner than the factory mirrors. One of the most popular APR parts for GR86/BRZ owners who want the motorsport aesthetic without committing to a full aero kit.

The short version for this chassis: GT-250 for street-focused builds and entry-level club days where you want aero presence without commitment; GTC-300 61" for the standard-body time attack build — sized correctly for the chassis, adjustable, and the most common choice in the AU GR86/BRZ time attack paddock; GTC-300 67" for widebody builds or where you are chasing maximum downforce. For chassis-mount swan-neck setups — rarer on this chassis but becoming more common at the pointy end — the GT-1000 is the step up. For the full breakdown on wing selection, read our APR GT-250 vs GT-1000 vs GT-2000 buyers guide.

A serious APR aero package turns your GR86/BRZ into a very different car — more grip, harder braking, higher corner speeds. Match the rest of the build:

• DIXCEL brakes for GR86 / BRZ — M-Type for street, Z-Type for fast road and light track, R-Type for dedicated track builds
• Hardrace suspension parts — bushings, control arms, and camber adjustment for a chassis running serious aero load
• KORSH exhaust systems — if you are running a GR86/BRZ turbo build or want a louder, freer-flowing exhaust
