Lowering your BRZ, FR-S, or GT86 comes with its fair share of trade-offs—and one of the biggest headaches is the rear axle. Everyone in the community knows about the compromised rear suspension geometry on these cars. Go low enough, especially on wide wheels like 18x9.5, and you’re bound to pop an axle sooner or later.

Even if yours hasn’t completely failed, chances are you’ve already noticed axle grease sprayed across the underside of your car (don’t ask us how we know). That’s a warning sign of imminent failure. Having a spare OEM Subaru rear CV axle on hand is a must, and Battle Garage Racing Service has you covered with stock on the shelf and ready to ship.
