i have a splitter in the basement, but dont have the ***** to run it on the stock wing.

the other problem i had was the rear end wanted to "shake its hips" when it unweighted under heavy braking...think i need to start redoing bushings or something.

i did my first mild 4 wheel slide, and survived it yesterday

What size splitter do you have? You can do a 2 3/4" to 3" and it balances the car quite nicely. Anything more than that and the car will be noticeably unbalanced. The crappy ones for sale on the market are a good size but heavy and with horrible mounting setups. I would recommend you come up with a mounting system that doesn't involve the front lip

Why not just try some trail braking. It won't increase grip but should help turn in.

i have sort of. yesterday i was able to make the lift off oversteer useful to a point, i know the car is an under steering ***** and honestly im probably still coming in hot at times. that being said i still think theres room for improvement on the setup, especially to try and figure out why i ruined inside edges on the front at pocono but yesterday with no changes i did not.

according to his old thread its 2 3/8". in the scheme of things it was way cheaper for me to buy his than to even buy a sheet of alumalite let alone have to make my own template lol. it should at least be a good start, and i think im almost ready to handle it. im trying to not drift and die here lol

fastest lap of the day at pokahoe. Couldn't get a clean lap without traffic all day. You'd figure with a 2:40 lap time, you can find clean lap, not the case. Rallo riding shotgun.
