SPL Parts PRO Solid Subframe Bushings

Fitment: 2017-2020 Toyota 86 (ZN6)

Part #: SPL SSB FRS

Overview

The SPL Parts PRO Solid Subframe Bushings are high-performance upgrade components designed specifically for the Toyota 86 (ZN6) model years 2017 through 2020. These bushings replace the stock rubber mounts with solid aluminum counterparts, providing a more direct connection between the subframe and chassis. This upgrade is ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved handling response, reduced wheel hop, and enhanced stability during aggressive driving or track use. By eliminating the flex and free play inherent in factory bushings, these components help maintain optimal suspension geometry, resulting in more predictable and confident vehicle behavior. The use of durable aluminum ensures longevity and resistance to deformation under demanding conditions, making them suitable for both street and track applications.

Key Features

Designed to enhance vehicle responsiveness and handling precision, the SPL PRO Solid Subframe Bushings feature a robust aluminum construction that offers superior strength and durability. The precise machining ensures a perfect fit and consistent performance. The bushings are engineered to eliminate unwanted movement of the subframe, which can cause wheel hop and inconsistent suspension behavior. The innovative slide-in shim system allows for quick and easy adjustment of the subframe height, enabling fine-tuning of the roll center and anti-squat characteristics to match your driving style and preferences. This adjustability helps optimize vehicle balance and cornering performance without requiring extensive modifications.

Construction & Design

Constructed from high-grade aluminum, these bushings are machined for a precise, snug fit that ensures maximum stability. The solid design eliminates the compliance found in rubber bushings, providing a more direct transfer of forces from the suspension to the chassis. The shim system is engineered for quick adjustments, allowing you to raise or lower the subframe to fine-tune handling characteristics. The durable materials and thoughtful design contribute to a long-lasting upgrade that withstands the rigors of spirited driving.

Driving Feel & Feedback

Installing these solid bushings significantly enhances steering response and chassis feel, giving you more immediate feedback from the road. The reduction in subframe movement results in a firmer, more connected driving experience, especially during aggressive cornering and high-load scenarios. Drivers will notice improved stability and reduced wheel hop, translating to more precise control and confidence behind the wheel.

Installation & Fitment

Installation requires removal of the existing rubber bushings and precise fitting of the aluminum components. The design ensures a straightforward bolt-in process, but professional installation is recommended to ensure proper alignment and adjustment. The shim system allows for quick modifications to achieve your preferred handling balance.

What’s Included

The package includes the aluminum subframe bushings, the slide-in shim system, and all necessary hardware for installation. Additional tools or hardware are not typically required but should be verified against your vehicle’s specific setup.

Ideal For

This upgrade is perfect for track enthusiasts, performance drivers, and anyone looking to improve the handling and stability of their Toyota 86 (ZN6). It is especially beneficial for those seeking to fine-tune their vehicle’s suspension geometry for a more responsive and engaging driving experience.
