Looking for recommendations on Aero setups for a 2016 PP GT for light duty road course work. The car is as the title states a dual purpose car and will see occasional track, but is mostly a street car. I'm not looking for an ultra high down force setup with lots of drag, so I was thinking front splitter paired with a functional rear spoiler instead of a wing. I typically use all of 3rd and 4th gear, some times ringing out 5th for a bit as well, so there's plenty of high speed use where Aero would be beneficial to add grip without trying to go the route of using wider tires to increase mechanical grip (far more expensive to switch as I already have a lightweight tire / wheel setup).
Spoilers reduce lift on the rear of the car and also drag while wings add drag but offer actual down force. Two different mechanisms: https://oppositelock.kinja.com/wings-spoilers-youre-probably-doing-it-wrong-1665312667
Does anyone have any experience with something like this: https://lmr.com/item/LRS-6344210A/w...50-2015-2019?gclid=CK7l55uH3-ICFYe8wAodsqEITw
I know Ford Performance also sells the GT350 Track Pack Spoiler: https://lmr.com/item/LRS-44210GT350/mustang-ford-accessories-gt350-track-pack-spoiler-1516
And also the regular Performance Pack GT spoiler: https://lmr.com/item/LRS-6344210AB/mustang-performance-pack-rear-spoiler-15-19
I believe both are functional spoilers. I was thinking the best balance might be a splitter extension paired with the Performance Pack GT spoiler.
Suspension Mods:
1. Steeda Roll Center and Bump Steer
2. Steeda High Durometer Tension Link
3. MM Caster / Camber Plates
4. FP Toe Link Spherical Bearings
5. BMR CB010 + Steeda Sub-frame Alignment Inserts
6. BMR SP083 Springs (250/980) + FP Track Dampers
7. RTR Tech 7 19x9.5 wheels on Pilot Sport 4S tires, four square setup
This is on a 2016 Performance Package GT. It's primarily a street car, but sees a few track days each year (2-3), so keep in mind I don't want anything super racy, just enough a give me a little more planted feel. I really like how the car takes high speed sweepers with a little extra weight (passengers), it just feels more glued to the road because of the traction. However it's obviously I'd be faster by using aero than adding hundreds of lbs of passengers (slower braking, slower transitions, slower acceleration etc.)...
I'm going to use the TrueFiber LG258 splitter extension with some support rods. I prefer that over the popular Steeda and APR solutions because it does NOT cover the belly pan and wipe out my OE brake ducting. It's a silhouette style instead of a plane style which is mostly for cost savings of manufacture. None of the OE splitters are designed like those, so yah I'm willing to pay double for the better design: https://trufiber.com/shop/mustang-carbon-fiber-front-splitter-2/
Aero is a tricky thing, so looking for feedback on good dual purpose setups that add some function without being high drag like a full race wing (also not wanting to look boy racer either). No need for it on a DP car.
