The data collection setup is off my car right now, and I've gotten a fair number of requests for availability on the flat bottom parts - so I'm moving ahead.

Once data collection begins I see these parts as the foundation, with potential for additional add-ons to perhaps make improvements. So if people bought these they could always add the extra parts for improved performance. That's my thinking at least.

But so far this thread is barren so perhaps people were just talk....

From the testing I have done to date there seems to be no real impact on cooling. This is based on around town driving, some commuting and a track day. As for high speed handling, that's a very subjective topic and hard to quantify without full chassis data logging ability. Which I don't have as of yet.

I'm working on establishing some data on drag before and after, but right now my car is a lame duck with a fuel leak I need to fix. I went out this weekend to log some data and when I started the car it smelled like gas, that happens when you have a massive leak at the line/fuel rail joint.

I have run the parts on the track, but wasn't able to do a back-to-back with them on and then off. I like data, although "impressions" are ok, data is better. Too many things changed on my car, along with the underpanel parts to be able to point at any one part. So the track testing to date is a little hard to pull from.

I'll be doing more testing as time goes by, but my car is ripped apart at the moment...

ABS

As for exhaust, it should work with any exhaust. Aftermarket side skirts will depend on the specific ones used. Most are fiberglass and often poorly mounted - that would be a problem.

The splitter is just APR can be bought lots of places, and the chassis brace panel requires welding on the chassis braces, and is dependant on downpipe.

I'm working on shipping prices.

PM me if you are serious and I'll get accurate shipping details.
