jsalicru Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 well, I can tell you those work like little winglets... You can also add a lip the edge of the fender in front of the wheels to create a low pressure area behind it. This will help cool the brakes. With that being said, Im calling you a ricer for even considering posting about these in a Legacy GT forum. http://www.s2ki.com/forums/html/emoticons/flame.gif "some say, his arms are made of coiled adamantium fibers.

jsalicru Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 in fact i haven't really consider getting these for the Legacy, just likes the looks of it on other cars...wondering what does it do downforce. Its like having a wing. It increases front end downforce. Or in the case of most street cars, it decreases front end lift "some say, his arms are made of coiled adamantium fibers.

Hanger Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 i know getting those front wind splitters would 100% protect my RBS lip, but those are another 200+ value... soo noo -.-; ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsalicru Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 friend of mine has them on his sti. its not rice if you have 400 awhp! Yes it is... I'd only want a set if I was doing some serious track time and realized that based on my high speed turns I would need some additional downforce. 400awhp wouldn't make a STi flip... a bad driver would.

S2k owners have an option for your issue. There's a company that sells a metal "splitter" (although it doesn't stick out) that you install in order to protect the front lip of the car.

Legasee Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 i know getting those front wind splitters would 100% protect my RBS lip how would ^^those wind splitter help PROTECT your RBS lip? ...they would go under the lip and would actually make the front lip "lower" and more prone for scrapes, scratches, break, right?...

Hanger Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 don't they actually go under the lip and covering it? i thought the splitter would be wider thus no parts of the lip will be exposed for scraping...but $200 is too much for just mere "protection" ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legasee Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 splitters that I've seen have always been attached on the BOTTOM of front bumpers (some spread out to the outside to "protect" the bumper, like th Buddyclub2's (in our case, also protect the RBS lip)...but if you hit something, the splitter, lip, and bumper is gonna bend and then something's gonna give and crack, split, etc... If I'm right, the lip is held onto the bumper with bolts/nuts (3M double-sided tape)only, there aren't any braces/metal pieces helping to support...hope that's helpful or someone can chime in In Taiwan now...
