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 is 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 builds up, the under-car air pressures builds 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 alleviate 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
The overall fit and finish of the splitter was good.
I do have a couple of comments regarding the installation. To begin with there were no installation instructions. I found that if you mount the splitter directly to the bottom of the bumper which is sloped the end result is that it slopes up in positive angle that will results aero lift. I ordered a 3/4"x1/2" neoprene strip that I place between the bottom front edge of the bumper where the bottom bumper edge transitions and the top of the splitter to create a slight negative angle or aero downforce.
Installation was frustrating and took some work but I am satisfied with the end result.
