Adjustable front splitter is going to be your best bet. I take it your road racing.

Like waltezee said adjustable front splitter is going to be your best bet. Don't waist you money on canards like a lot of people do. Also make sure your class will permit a splitter.

splitter is a good option. canards can benefit you if the are big enough and placed correctly. it also helps with the direction of airflow around your car. just make sure your splitter is positioned correctly and is mounted securely enough it is not going to cause flex.

like someone else mentioned, also check with your class to ensure it is allowable. also make sure you balance out your car with rear downforce so you dont cause the rear of the car to get loose or push in the corners.

The best is a full under tray and panel.
Unless you put an F1 wing on it that is your best bet. Splitterrs are help too IF you got the right angle of attack. Also IF they will not move at higher speed , let's say as your bumper plastic let's them felxing around...

They do have some really helpful options, I appreciate it.

I think I will also be looking into some coilovers, I currently only have springs. The coilovers will help tighten everything up.

Thanks everyone for the info.
