Do I need an aerokit/GT2 rear diffuser/spoiler

I just ordered the OEM like aerokit from the ebay seller (back in stock at $199) and the GT2 side skirts. I was told by my dealer that the aerodynamic performance at high speed will be affected. What do I need to improve the stability for my '12 TTS? Aerokit rear diffuser and/or spoiler? GT2 rear diffuser and/or spoiler

Thanks

I don't think you'll need to change anything with just the Aero Front Lip and the GT2 Side skirts.

If you add an OEM GT2 Spoiler, that adds a huge load of Down Force compared to OEM Turbo S Spoiler.

If it's the full GT2 front bumper with GT2 splitter, then your dealer is right. You'll be carrying an uneven amount of down-force up front at high speed and should look into the GT2 rear wing to add more downforce in the rear.

PS. where in canada are you?

It's a mix of aerokit front lip and GT2 side skirts. I do track at Mosport so I would like to know that my car is aerodynamically safe. Still not sure if I need the aerokit/GT2 rear diffuser/spoiler. I like my current TTS dynamic spoiler and not a big fan of fixed.

To be honest, I wouldn't worry about that one.

The splitter in the image below is where you may run into unbalanced front/rear down-force.
