Ordered my splitter and race kit. Pretty excited to test this at Watkins Glen in April.

Had the front splitter on the track for the first time this weekend. As others have noted, it is a bit hard to quantify the difference the splitter makes, but there is no doubt that you have more control in higher speed corners, which inspires more confidence in the car and allows you to push harder.
For example, on the track I run the most there is a fast long left handed sweeper that starts with a slow uphill and then on throttle through the rest. It is one of those corners where you go all out and hold on and never feel super stable. On Friday I did some private instruction with the track pro and after the first couple times we did it, he told me to give it more gas through that corner because we were still well within the limits. I had to tell him that I was fully on the gas. The car can now out handle what the motor is capable of giving it on that corner. Here are two videos of running the same configuration within a month of each other and with the only differences being a slight tweak to the alignment and the addition of the front splitter. I dropped roughly 1.1 seconds (though some of that could be driver improvement). I think the speed differential through the fast corners is the most telling.

I took my time with it. I spent about 3 hours on it but it can be done faster. You do have to remove the bumper which is surprisingly easy.

Any updates on the rod ends fading?
After 8 months now, I have 1 silver, 2 pink, and 1 red. Funny thing is the red and silver are both on the splitter. Those get the most sunlight, maybe they came from different batches. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk |

I resent that remark.
That said, should get the rods powdercoated rather than anodized. More durable, won't fade, can be easily repaired.

Just finished installing the splitter and all I can say is wow, just top notch all across the board with this thing.
- Extremely easy to install, I had an idea that it wouldn't be too difficult but I didn't expect it to be THAT easy - The fitment is fantastic, no issues whatsoever - Looks great and is actually functional, what more could you ask for? - Very fast shipping Thank you for developing this!! |
