Edit - how's that spritter on the street? Does it cause you any major issues with clearance?
At the cars current ride height the splitter hits pretty much everything. But if you had normal car ride height you should be much better off.

Also the diffuser is designed on the front so the outer edge of the splitter is replaceable at a much cheaper cost then the entire unit.

Changing pads is also much easier than OEM. Once the wheels are off the car, it takes literally a few minutes to change the pads.
Is the braking better? I'm curious how the performance is increased vs. OEM calipers with AP rotors?

The front lip can be removed for street driving as well . It may not look as aggressive or perform as well but it would save the lip from being hit as often. Easily removable/installed with ~10 or so M6 button heads.

Front diffuser images for those curious. We are still working on bringing this to production.

The lip being removable for street driving and lower replacement cost, excellent call!

What wheels are these again? I can't for the life of me recall.





The setup is looking boss. Are you making any major alignment/suspension adjustments to compensate for all the extra downforce?





Please share. Thanks!

They are Titan7 TS-5 in 997 fitment in rear and 981 fitment up front.

We have tarret camber plates up front, changed the springs out and updated the suspension controller settings as well. Tons of other monball bits and etc also.
