APR Air Dam/Splitter for 2nd Gen
 
Does anyone here have the APR Air Dam/Splitter? Did it improve lap times? What rear wing (if any) are you using it with? Have you tried it without a rear wing, how was the balance?

I do.

Yes, it does make a noticeable differennce.

You'll have a loosish car at speed if you do ONLY the front aero.

CSG has both the BRZ and GR86 Version in stock and ready to ship.

Would you say front lip is worthwhile by itself or only in tandem with rear wing?

The air dam only is significant. With or without the wing is subjective and depends on the rest of your setup and the tracks you run.

Generally speaking I'd say you should do both.

PM me to order.

It is a nice splitter but super fragile, I shattered mine on my 2nd hpde going into grass.

Tradeoffs. A strong chassis mounted one has the potential to wreck all sorts of havoc if you turn the car into a shovel. I'm still on my first APR lip, fingers crossed. Of course, now that I wrote that...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I pulled the trigger on it... I'll report back how it holds up after a bunch of TT events this year
