This may be true if a F1 car, but my car has not been homologated for Formula One. The internal combustion engine of my car has too much capacity, so it failed pre race inspection and so I said screw it and installed non-homologated aero devices. It Has less aero lift than a stock FRS which turns out is all it really needed for rain racing.... Err I mean my afternoon commute.

guybo, having tires with another 1/32" of tread depth will decrease hydroplaning more than your aerodynamic modifications.

I'm really surprised no one has made a carbon cover with integrated gurney flap for the new 2017 wing...this with the drambeenie risers would be really nice alternative to the $3000 sti wing.

So having "aero" that is closer to the ground can actually hurt traction, not help it.

This s because the plank sits in the water and it will literally float the car off the ground.

aero too close to the ground can certainly choke things off and cause other aero devices to not work. having less then 3.5" of ground clearance with a splitter and diffuser basically negates them due to choked airflow by my understanding.

Bump! Hoping for some more contributions!

I like the aggressiveness but it's a bit much. Would like something between this one and Perrin. Found one before on Facebook but can't find it now.. was a company/shop that had 3 varieties.
