Toyota 86 TRD

Dealer-fi t accessories sharpen up the 86’s chassis

- Scott Newman

THERE’S AN old saying that if it’s not broken, then there’s no point fixing it. Therefore there will no doubt be groans of dismay from many enthusiasts when they learn Toyota’s dealer-fit TRD accessories for the 86 concentrate on the chassis (the bit that arguably doesn’t need fixing) rather than the engine (the bit that does).

Specifically, the 86 TRD accessories available include a set of lowering springs ($409), stiffer front and rear anti-roll bars (a very precise $731.73) and larger wheels measuring 18 x 7.0-inch front and 18 x 7.5-inch rear ($1848 sans tyres). All prices are recommended retail price and exclusive of fitting, while the parts can be ordered and fitted to any 86 (preor post-facelift) by all Toyota dealers around the country.
