Velox Front Camber Plates are in! These things look great! I am really excited to install them and I should be able to late this week. Here is a sneak peak for now.

Coming along nicely! I haven't changed much on mine. I'm tempted to get the camber plates too! My next purchases will be the Velox front wheel deflectors (larger than stock to direct more air under the car and around the front wheels, and their splitter endplates once they're out.

How are you liking it with the diffuser and splitter? I feel that it balances out pretty well, with maybe a little more grip up front than in the rear.

Thanks! The camber plates are a great quality part. I have been looking at the front deflectors and I am a little nervous about them. The roads in new york aren't bad but I feel like they would be all scraped up in no time.

The splitter endplates look pretty awesome. I'll probably pick up a set as well.

Unfortunately I won't be able to comment on the rear diffuser balance. I have only driven the car about 3000 miles in the past year (sad, I know) and I just installed the rear diffuser in the middle of winter. I have around 10 super easy miles on the car with the diffuser on.

These are so nice they even make the stock dampers look good.

Super easy install, very good quality part. Anyone else get excited when they schedule an alignment? lol. Not sure about what specs I want this year tho.

Kwaziekeller · 02-25-2016, 10:15 PM

I added the endplates and deflectors. Not substantially lower to the ground than the OEM deflectors, but surely stiffer.

Took her for a test spin yesterday to try out all my new parts. Everything seems great.

Also ordered the Porsche gt3 brake scoops. $35 bucks for a proven design isn't risking too much.

Here is a link to where I got them. Install to come. http://www.ebay.com/itm/221548399355

Takumi i'm interested in buying the same front splitter. My car is my daily though, how is it driving with that front splitter? I'm currently lowered and using the modelista kit so its not like I have no experience driving lowered. Just never tried with a splitter.

Sorry if my thoughts seem all over the place. I love the look of the splitter and would love it on my car(would be replacing my modelista kit).

Thanks for the brake duct link. I was just reading through one of the build threads, last week. Can't go wrong for the price.

Bjeoen. The splitter is pretty daily-able. Anything velox makes is awesome. I am only lowered on hotchkis Springs for now and rarely drive my car on the street. My street driving consists of back and forth between track days/autocross events and car shows. I have scrapped the bottom bolts of the race upgrade a few times when I was forced into a sticky situation. No noticeable damage. It really depends on the roads where u live. Feel free to pm me if u have any additional questions. Good luck man. Life's too short to stay stock.

I got the Porsche brake scoops installed. Here are a few pics on how. There was just some minor dremmel trimming involved. I usually stay away from DIY mods like this but if there is a small possibility that a $35 mod will help then count me in. If it was important enough that Porsche put it on their car you can bet it helps.

You can see here where I drilled/trimmed

Crappy installed pic.

Mine came in last week. Super fast shipping from the East Coast. I cannot tell from the pictures which part you trimmed. Did you also cut out a section of the dust shield?

I revised the picture with some markings of where I trimmed.

I have not cut anything from the dust shield. I will probably just remove them all together depending on the needs of the Velox brake duct kit when that comes out.

This car looks great! How did you decide on the 17x9 ET35 vs 17x8 ET45?
