What's the purpose of having a front splitter?
An automotive splitter is a modification typically found at the front of the car, containing a protruding flat surface acting as a firm extension of the front bumper. There are many different configurations as far as their aesthetic, and utilized material. The design and purpose mainly aimed at decreasing front end lift, which would equate to numerous performance benefits. When a car reaches higher speeds, it will accumulate air pressure build-up at the front of the vehicle. All of this air will end up going both above the car, as well as below the car (under the front bumper). When excess amounts of this air build up, the under-car air pressures build up. This increased air pressure contributes to lift, which causes the front end of the vehicle to lift up. This results in decreased traction on the road & a compromised handling characteristic. The key to alleviating this is creating positive downforce. The splitter forces the high-pressure air upwards where it builds up around the bumper, and ultimately migrates this pressure over the car resulting in reduced lift. The splitter is typically supported by rods to ensure that the splitter stays parallel to the ground, rods will also assist with the outside forces and elements endangering the integrity of the splitter.
Customer Reviews
Quality materials and craftsmanship. Excellent fitment. Best of all great communication during sale and delivery process.
The final look of it is absolutely excellent! Its super secure and looks amazing, however, it was an absolute pain in the ass to install. It was clearly fabricated for an STI bumper. Had to drill more holes in it and buy more specific hardware to make it fit on my Impreza RS. Honestly at first, wasnt convinced it was going to fit but I'm determined, didnt wanna go through the hassle of returning it and plus I'm an aircraft mechanic so I knew I could get crafty and make it work.
