Default Improving the aerodynamics?

Is there much available to do this on an 03? since losing my front splitter to the big kerb in the sky the nose feels noticably lighter on higher speed cornering.

Are there any front bumpers/splitters than have good aerodynamic properties or can offer increased downforce? I appreciate that the basic aerodynamics of your average impreza is similar to that of a brick, but every little helps i guess...

Id also be interested to know how many of you use rear diffusers, and if so, which ones?

dont know about the front, but since fitting a sti v5/6 rear spoler to my93 wrx the rear feels a lot more planted. With what your saying if I get an updated front bumper for mine it may even the handling out a bit
(will have to wait though for the fmic and new turbo)

id say try a JUN style front lip and fit some nice carnards . ive had this set up on an old motor and not 100% sure if i imagined it or not but i thought / felt it was an improvment , hard to measure such things but i really did prefer it withthese on.

Jun dont seem to make much for my car, they seem to concentrate on the classics....I have a prodrive wing on the back of mine anyway so that part is fine as say as im concerned.

Its just the front gets a little light through corners and under hard acceleration. I could stiffen up the back of the car a little which may reduce the nose coming up so much.

There's a guy called Scott Lowe who does matt finish or carbon ones. Type his name in to google and something should turn up.
