i want a carbon fiber splitter...when import trenz makes the cwest is300 replica f.b.!!! lol

 

To me, a splitter makes more sense on a FWD car than a rear spoiler or wing, since the drive wheels are up front.

 

Rear downforce still has its place. At high speeds, the rear tires can lose traction (as you well know). It's just not as important.

 

Yeah, I've never had a problem with a loose rear end on my Lancer. Although it might if I started using toe-out on the track.

 

The splitters look sweet but are they functional??
I bet you would have to be going real f'in fast for them to be functional. But look still look sweet!

 

cf splitters would be frickin awesome, especially if you could ge tthem to match your kits, ex) kent style...hmmm, or a universal one, im not sure that the perimeter of most of the lancer body kits out there are that much different in shape than the stock lip...something to think about...

 

I was actually trying to figure that out recently. If they are attached to the front lip, it would probably only flex the front lip downward... although the nose pointing towards the ground might cause more air to go over the car and less under the car, creating more downforce. And if they were somehow attached to the frame or a metal part of the body, they would apply direct downforce to the car. Of course, surface area and angle plays a role here. That's why people have these huge plexiglass spoilers at about 75 degree angles on the backs of their Miatas at autocross events. But I agree, they would look nice even if they didn't work. I should verify that the SCCA rules allow them in STS class.

 

i would like a carbon fiber splitter for my car with the kaminari kit...it would look nice with my carbon fiber theme

 

hey whats up everyone at RRM i put the carbon fibertailights on after i left your place, the car is now complete thanks for posting a pic of my car...o for all u interested in the front splitters i got them from my friends at teamprototype.com i have them installed with the rods and screws underneath, i also put some in the back under the kaminari rear spoiler without the rods though

 

Do they serve any purpose on the rear bumper? (w/o intent to sound like flaming, but curious)

Can you tell a difference of having them or not at speeds under 100mph?

Not to sound naive/ignorant, is that the rrm front lip or stock front lip?

 

i got them in the rear also to accent everything good im quite sure it does nothing though..yes it is a rmr type 2 front spoiler...
