SO jealous......... Granted Casper handles quite well given its complete lack of ANYTHING aero..... The Kognition wing is very nice too....local E36 racers use them and find them very efficient at low angle of attack...so much so that they needed to build an entire new front splitter to balance the car and that was only a 67" wing.... I am considering a 72" Kognition wing!!!!!

The best way to use your splitter is to make a straight down from the front bumper, with a splitter extending from it....take a look at this site, it uses a miata as an example, but the data would hold true for us as well...its similar to the conclusions that Carl came up with in his wind tunnel testing

Interesting article Brian, I think the best I could muster up would be the design 4 (small air dam / splitter combo). That mondo nascar style air dam would take more fabrication skills than I've got to hang it off the front of the car like that.
