Its almost always the same with wings, its just a lot easier to have a wing that is functional and looks pretty and install easily. Splitters are very height sensity and need very high rigidity to avoid bending underload and starving the underbody of air. Check profesionnaly awesome's page, they have a whole section dedicated to that and explains the mains dos and donts regarding building a splitter and other downforce generating devices.

I would wait for verus's front splitter. It's the mounting that makes or breaks a splitter. I just installed there 2 piece splitter with race upgrade. The combination of how it's mounted to the bumper and supported by 2 splitter arms which are mounted to the crash beam makes it's super ridged. There is no flex and I can even stand on it

The mounting on the two piece Verus unit isn’t that good. I built a bracket for mine that bolts to the lower rad support and it’s much stouter. I’ve still broken it twice and it always seems to get warped, it’s getting tossed for a homemade splitter this winter.

Did you have the race upgrade?

Yes. There is not enough support at the rear is the main issue I see so it hinges on the splitter rods. I also made a plate that mounts the halves together more solidly. In the end, with the amount of wing I have it isn't enough splitter anyway.

Well that sucks! Keep me posted. What part of the rear? Closer to the edge or more in the center?

It's pretty much the whole back edge needs better support. Mounting to the bumper cover isn't that solid and the rear mounts that go under towards the back just are not enough to handle an off into the grass or a light curb strike. I supported it with a bracket about 8" across in the middle and mounted the splitter to that support and that support to the lower rad mount.

Thank you for this info. Can you snap some photos?

Verus often does different versions DD depending on BRZ or FRS in the past if it warrants it. I really like my street defuser on 1st gen FRS. Mounting is really sturdy

For my side splitters (2.0), I used 1/4" composite aluminum that I bought directly from Falken Design. There prices were good and their shipping was fast. Good source of material for the DIY crowd.

no rush to be honest. I am wondering if they will sell me the Mounting hardware from there adjustable splitter that ties into edge support and if it would work with the 2 piece.
