Front conical washer/spring feet for KW V3s - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

re-animator · 06-24-2020, 02:47 PM

hey guys i'm buying a lightly used set of v3s but the previous owner ran camber plates up front so he does not have the purple Raiden hat looking thing that mounts to the top of the front coilover (underneath the oem top hat):

I called KW and they do sell replacements but I wanted to check first before i order it if there is any difference in the KW one and the OEM conical washer that goes between our OEM springs and the OEM rubber top hats:

I figured since both the KW coils and the OEM setup can mount to the OEM top hat they might be the same size, but i'm not that hopeful. Anybody have experience here?

Is that a part for the stock BRZ suspension? I searched that part and it seems like it’s from the STi/Forester etc but not our cars.

Sorry, I'm not sure but I love that you called it a Raiden hat

I’m almost positive that is the correct part. Call RaceComp Engineering to double check, but that’s the part I was advised to use to mount my T2s to the stock strut mounts.

You need the KW purple raiden hat and that Subaru conical washer if you want to use OEM top mounts.

Does the factory suspension use a conical washer? I can’t find it in the Subaru parts diagram. I’m starting to think I may have forgot to install something lol.

Thank you. I did end up ordering the parts from KW a few days ago, arriving today. It was like $81 shipped for what amounts to two washers lol. But i got a good deal on the coils so it all balances out. So i need to get this conical washer from Subaru as well or re-use the stock one? Right now i have lowering springs on the stock struts and top hats.

Nope. The OEM upper spring perch has a sort of built in washer so you're good!

You should get those concial washers pictured above. There is no stock one on a BRZ (the function of them is built into the OEM upper spring perch which you won't be reusing with your coilovers).
