Product Overview
Ohlins Aluminium Front Left Top Mount 25633-43 – Subaru BRZ ZC6 / Toyota GT86 ZN6 2012-2021
This is the front left upper strut mount from Ohlins for the first-generation Toyota 86 platform. It is machined from aluminium with an anodised finish. Where the standard rubber-isolated mount allows some movement, this solid mount locates the top of the strut precisely and provides camber adjustment at the top of the strut.
Why upgrade the top mount
Ohlins lists the solid top mount as an option for its Road & Track (SUS MP21) kit on the BRZ and GT86. Removing the play in the OE rubber mount sharpens turn-in and gives the damper a consistent mounting point, so you feel the benefit of the coilover’s valving more clearly. The camber adjustment lets you add negative camber for better front-end grip on track days, or set a milder figure for road use.
- Solid aluminium construction with an anodised finish
- Spherical bearing for smooth strut rotation
- Adjustable camber at the top of the strut
- Designed to work with Ohlins Road & Track coilovers for the BRZ/GT86
Fitment and what you need
This listing is for the front left mount only, meaning the left-hand side of the car as you sit in it (the passenger side on a UK right-hand-drive car). The right-hand mount has a different part number and is sold separately, so you will normally want one of each. The mount fits the Subaru BRZ ZC6, the Toyota GT86 ZN6 and the Scion FR-S. It is not listed for the second-generation GR86 or BRZ ZD8.
Fitting advice
Ohlins’ instructions say you must reset ride height after changing to solid top mounts, because they alter the strut’s installed position. Fitting requires the front struts to come off the car. Afterwards, have a full four-wheel alignment done, setting camber to suit how you drive. Use the tightening torques from the Ohlins instructions or the factory service manual. Because a solid mount passes more road noise and vibration into the cabin than the rubber original, it suits cars used often on track.
