anyone have a perrin cbe that fits with the diffuser?

Yes. With the diffuser on the lowest setting due to stock exhaust and on Swift Spec R springs (1.0" drop), I scraped the diffuser and front splitter every time I entered the parking garage at work (which had a pretty decent angle change). I have ground the prongs on the diffuser a decent bit.

For anyone that is really low, we obviously recommend the non-aggressive version, it helps with scraping quite a bit. Unfortunately, most of the super low guys want the aggressive version.

We have now released rear spats to accompany the diffuser.









FT-86 SpeedFactory has a few and we have a few on the shelf. Doing another production run now.

Thanks,

I have the aggressive as well, on bags. Unfortunately even at full raise I manage to scrape perhaps 50% of the time unless I'm able to get a really good corner up/down the roads. For what its worth this happens every time I drive onto and off the Washington State Ferry on my way to Seattle. It definitely sounds worse than it actually is.

@ Jonsey, how bad is the front splitter scrape? Do the scrapes do any noticeable damage? I'm holding off installing my front lip due to the inclines / declines I encounter daily.

Do you have CFD out for these yet?

Any recs on how to jack up the rear of your car with this installed?

Make a 2x6 ramp (or equivalent) two 2x6s high. Make the bottom one 24" and the top 12". Once you drive onto them jack by the rear diff at a slight angle as not to hit the exhaust/diffuser fins.

OR

Use the OEM jack on the pinch weld to get the car high enough to fit a real jack under the diff. This method is difficult to lower the car with.

I use the first method. Works well

My rear diff is covered by the diff/suspension covers That's the tricky part. I'm thinking long and tall ramps or dual jacks.

Those would be really long ramps... Have you considered modifying the cover, jack, or diff to make it more practical for lifting? Maybe a hole in the cover? I'm sure you don't want to cut up your shit but I haven't come up with a good alternative yet. I'll be facing the same dilemma before to long. With the diff covered, won't it get really hot?

No, they are more for looks than performance so we did not CFD them. They probably do very little for performance.

The rear diff is still open with the diff/suspension covers. That's what I use to jack up my car.

At least you're honest lol. How about the skirts?

We haven't released images but numerically they reduce lift coefficient by 11 points while increasing the drag coefficient 2 points.
