hi all, looking at purchasing a vltd splitter for my 05sti as it makes the car look sharper from, however I was wondering is there any notable difference to the handling characteristics of the car or is it purely a cosmetic thing?does the splitter only come into play at very high speeds?

thanks

 

No noticable difference to my 03 sti when I fitted one. Does make kerbs a lot closer though!

 

On the road it is cosmetic. A first class driver pushing hard on a track may notice a difference especially if the ride height is lower as well.

 

At Castle Combe my car was slower by 5 mph on the pit straight with it missing, otherwise not noticed the difference except fot the scrapping during going up and down ramps

No difference in handling here, car not been on track with it. Bargain at £100 + P and P

 

i thought it only worked on 100 kmph+ speeds? seem to remember reading that somewhere?

it does finish the front off perfectly though even though i nibble mine every now and again i'd never be without one
might go for something a bit less pricey than a carbon one though, damn kerbs seem to be jumping out recently
