1. are there effective ones that do not use support rods?

2. i have yet to put on my driveway labs diffuser but will be once it's warmer - no track experience with it on or off yet. last track day was with stock exhaust. is the car going to feel unbalanced without a front splitter?

thanks!

Small splitters are still effective and the size is more about balancing rear downdownforce. So if you have no wing, a small splitter without suppprt is fine. If you have a monster wing like us you'll need a large splitter attached to the frame with front supports also. Mild, low drag areo is the way to go when NA.

First question I always like to ask people asking these kind of questions:

What is your track experience? What level is your HPDE experience? What power and handling mods are done to your your car?

Only after those questions are answered can we give you an honest answer as to what "aero" will do for you on track.
