As the title denotes, does anyone have or know about the use of dive planes for our cars? To use with the standard front bumper. I have a gt2 style wing blade in the back and at speed I can feel it pushing the back down and consequently lifting the front. I don't really like the look of the aftermarket body kits much so was wondering if anyone ever used or have tried fitting dive planes to their cars? I have only ever seen dive planes on the rsr's but I'm simply just looking for some extra front downforce. Or maybe there is a front lip that can achieve what I'm looking for?

 

Read this thread and see the solution, not dive planes but a front splitter. This is what I bought for my car.

Are dive planes those little add on fins you see on bumpers for down force? If so, I saw a GT3RS 4.0 the other day and it comes with them on the front bumper.

 

Yes, those are dive planes, or AKA flics. However, I saw the GT3RS 4.0 addons. There was a thread about them on Rennlist. They cost $500, and only attach via double sided tape... I don't know how they will even work once you start going at a decent rate of speed.

 

I guess there will be a slight reduction in top speed, right?

 

Nvm, found them. Sierra composites for around $110.

 

That's my guess, but I would say not by too much, and I don't plan on doing any top speed runs, just want more control of the car at speed.

 

Thanks Larry. I actually followed that thread closely but it presents 2 issues for me. 1 was that the lip seemed too much in terms of design for my tastes, and 2, I have a slight incline with a bump leading up the driveway, and I scrub just with my PSS9s and stock front so with that thing I would be toast.
