#33426, "Splitter/front diffuser question"




          

Hey guys,
I might be splitting hairs here but I am adding a splitter and I was planing on using 1/2 abs plastic. Im going to over hang the front bumper about 6 inches and I was wondering if i should make the splitter level with the car or should angle it slightly down so it dips to the front. I'm on stock suspension probably until the end of the next autocross season and this car is not my DD so im leaning towards dippin it. Also our autocross tracks tend to favor lower speeds and tighter corners, I spend more time in 2nd and 3rd do you think a 9" will work better? It will have a channel in the center so it will look like this...

ok... feel free to give me a hard time for my crap pic
Thanks guys.

I like logic more when it travels in circles.

For what you want to use this for(sounds like) the channel in the middle is going to hurt performance.

I read somewhere that the channel makes it easier to dial in your suspension since it balances airflow but I am not real sure on the aero dynamics side of things. If a flat will work better I would consider doing that because it would be easier. Any idea on angle, level or dipping? What about 6" or 9"? I tend to ask questions here first before posting on tuners because of the respect I have for you guys. Thanks again.

BTW this is a autocross car and not a DD.
