So i fixed the level up front so that the splitter doesnt pull up in the front when using the 2 other support bolts I added (put about 5 washers between APR and bumper). Put in beefier support rods (attached to the mounting hole bracket that is on each side of the OEM crash beam) and also added a cable on each side of the splitter on the outside last holes near the tire strung from top and bottom eye bolts just in case. I doubt the force on the side corners would be very strong compared to the front? Still able to stand on the lip in the front :-) I know there should be a airdam in place, but still trying to find a solution that would work with the OEM bottom lip without it looking too ghetto is difficult haha.
this is the first time ive heard this. please explain
since your working with bernoulli's you want to make sure air is getting underneath. the stagnation/high pressure above the lip is not (in my opinion) the most important factor. From what I recall reading you want slight upward angle on the splitter because at speed it will probably turn to neutral. What you dont want is a setup that goes to a downward angle at speed (my guess is that the setup on your car has enough stiffness/rigidity to not worry about this).
Take a look at current gen prototype cars and notice they have a raised center section of the nose to allow air to get under. if the splitter/nose bottoms and stops air flow under the car weird things begin to happen.
^^^ that LOL, plus it keeps the velocity at the front of the car higher pushing the air out the bottom like a ram air effect, but it is minimal so you cannot go at to large of an upward angle as the pressure has to be higher above the splitter than below or the air will want to lift the car rather than flow under it.
Nice explanation Killer... Even though you went to the dark side :P
