Mine is on it's way from ft86sf, I'll have photos on my Brz soon.

Just in time to go on with my side splitters I'm building.

I got mine in Friday night and installed it yesterday. My initial review is that the car feels more solid and seems to resist tracking/tram lining more. It also seems to add a touch more steering resistance, which is welcomed IMO bc I felt the steering is very light in this car. I've had the car around a few bends and it's doesn't understeer as much either. All of these are what I would and did expect. Anyways, on with some pics....

For anyone that needs hardware updates, please PM me. I have 2 people that I am sending it to currently, KID and Wonderbar. I am still awaiting the bolts to be shipped to me but they should get here tomorrow or Thursday. Then they will head out snail mail to you guys, as well as FT86.

Thanks,
Eric

I have been looking for a functional front splitter as you may remember from this thread
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62607

I wonder if you guys can provide some installation instructions a video would be great.. I am planning to route some brake hose duct underneath the car so I wonder if it may arise an issue

Installation instructions are found on FT86SpeedFactory's website, at this link, http://ft86speedfactory.com/instruct...stallation.pdf .

As far as the hose ducting, if you run it from where the "fog lights" would go, then it isn't going to be a problem, aside from getting through the wheel well liner. Underneath, it's not likely to work, not that the splitter is much lower than the factory belly pan, but if the car is lowered it would be nearly impossible.

I received my bolts today, so they are shipping out tomorrow. I only have @*KID* and @Wonderbar, no one else has contacted me. PM me if you need/want updated bolts for the rear most 2 holes.

Thanks!

@Wonderbar send me some pics of the front splitter installed with your side skirts since this may be what I want to do, in gold of course.

Pics of the front splitter with @Wonderbar V1 rear diffuser. Just waiting to see how awesome his side skirts will be to finish this up.

I have a quick question, looking at the instructions (on page 4), do we retain the plastic panel in the picture or it is not necessary after installing this splitter? @FT-86 SpeedFactory

thanks in advance

@plucas, at my latest track event I noticed that the high speed corner stability is becoming an issue, especially after my Supercharger install so I am considering to add a front splitter and also thinking combining this with a functional Driveway labs rear diffuser ( if the fitment is not an issue with my Tsudo catback) so my question is; is there any other way to reduce lift or adding down force to keep the rear end a bit more stable at higher speeds?

What would be your input when combining this front splitter and maybe a rear diffuser with something like a wing or big spoiler?

http://ft86speedfactory.com/seibon-c...r-gt-1269.html

and to the link the spoiler I am considering
