New GT500 style “dive planes or splitter extensions” for GT350

[autobahnGT350]

My car is stock ride height and tires. The original bolts that I removed were pretty much shaved smooth from the inevitable occasional scraping. The new bolts are hex head and slightly thicker that the original allen head rounded bolts. I would say they will scrape for sure if lowered.

Thanks. Looks like I will wait this out and watch for other options. I am going to do the FP springs and sways...and that’s already getting me nervous

Tell me man and not trying to be a smart ass. Why does one lower a car that is extremely low already?

The FP springs barely lower the car. I was worried too but I still changed them because I wanted better manners on track. I've had them for a year and it's how the car should have came stock TBH. Absolutely 0 regrets. Nobody outside of GT350 enthusiasts would even notice the difference but it's subtle enough that obsessed people like us will know something's a little different in the stance.

Yes, it's lower, but it's more than manageable. I wouldn't want to go any lower than this though. It's the perfect height IMO.

Can you post a picture ? Curious to see the difference.

Installed them, so easy when you get her up in the air. They now include a great push pin that’s so much better than reusing the factory ones

Are you on stock GT350 profile size 35 series opposed to R 30 series profile? The difference in height is a little more than 1/4 inch but less than 1/2.....295/35/19 = 27.4 overall height ( tire profile height = 4.2)
and 315/30/19 = 26.4 overall height ( tire profile height = 3.7) 4.2 -3.7 = .50, so there’s a half inch lower just swapping tires. Just want to make an informed decision and let other people know as well that using these with the following conditions, low profile 30 series on 19 inch wheels, and lowering springs, you might end up to low for reasonable driving...if one has 20 inch wheels, then of course the tire height is greater and negates the lowered stance issue using these devices, unless one goes to 25 or 20 series on 20 inch tires, then you are in the same loop as described above.

Yes. No way that pin is blowing out.

They are super solid, the factory push pins are flimsy really aren’t reusable in my estimate and anything that adds length or thickness they aren’t long enough

Take it for what it is worth since I am not really interested in these extensions at this point but I saw a picture of how Ford attaches these in the GT500 forum (thanks @Muligan). I wanted to add it here because the factory decided to add 3 screws (vs 1 push pin).

My same thought as well.
I for one don’t care for anything zl1 add ons makes, same goes for shitTech.
People can say the zl1 add ons winglets will be ok and not come off, but let’s see someone go 160 mph + and report back.
Sure the bottom will survive being that it’s bolted in three spots on the bottom. But I’m not keen on the top single “push pin”

Not even the shit tech resonator X ? Lol ....
I just got mine in the other day and it's a very nice piece and the welds are premium ...

I would never and will never support anything they offer for sale. Not even if it was free.

Got ya - would imagine they screwed on something then --

Excellent point. I am placing a Post It on my speedo to remind me not to exceed 160.

To be fair, I have heard reports of the factory GT350R splitter coming off above 160.
