ANY coilovers

Annex Suspension Group was founded in 2018 by Grant Hendricks of Battle Garage Racing Service and Ezekiel of CM Autohaus in Fremont, CA, both longtime AE86 enthusiasts with deep roots in the chassis.

After years of working on, tracking, and developing AE86s, they felt the suspension market lacked properly tuned options that balanced real world comfort, track performance, and affordability for enthusiasts. That philosophy became the foundation of Annex Suspension.

Rather than offering generic off the shelf coilovers for every platform, Annex focuses on extensive chassis specific R&D by bringing in physical development cars to measure motion ratios, suspension geometry, corner weights, and real world driving behavior. This same approach has been heavily applied to the BRZ and GR86 platform, where Annex developed separate suspension specs for both first and second generation cars due to the major differences in chassis rigidity, stroke requirements, and damping characteristics.

Today, Annex continues to refine and improve each platform with updated valving, components, and real world testing to create suspension systems engineered by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts.

We are currently sponsored with their FastRoad Pro Coilovers with upgraded Swift springs for our 2018 Subaru BRZ.

Falken Tires was launched in its native country of Japan in 1983 and introduced to the North American market two years later. At its inception, Falken was created as the flagship high performance radial brand under Ohtsu Tire and Rubber.

Now, more than 40 years later, Falken has solidified its place as a strong consumer choice for tires, as it has focused on UHP (Ultra High Performance) products by participating in – and winning – well-known professional motorsports programs.

The success achieved in these programs helps to further develop and improve passenger vehicle products for both domestic and worldwide distribution.

We are currently sponsored with their tire model: RT660+ in 255/35/18.
