I'm a little scared of aero-mods. I think this is for good reason. Air is powerful and it's forces are dangerous, especially at speed.
It's for this reason, I put this thread out to the guys who are doing this. I need to gain some knowledge, and know how to take this on.
My car is a 2003 G35 Sedan. It's supercharged, 460 BHP. RWD. 6MT.
There's way too much power for the rest of the car right now. Back end feels light consistantly and won't stay planted, it's spinning all the time.
I have done mods that make it slower, like a BBK with 26 lb rotors (14"), and some heavy OEM 19" rims.
The tires are trash (Falken 452's) but I'm looking around actively to get something good for track use like a Star spec or something (heavier car).
Suspension is a luxury style coilover setup. 9/10k spring rates, linear in front, progressive in rear. I will not likely change spring rates, this is a daily driver first and a race car second. I have a 3 year old in it all the time also.
My plan with aero is to put a spoiler on the back, and eventually get a splitter on the front.
I don't want to just slap a spoiler on, I'd like some sort of knowledge base first, and some advice from you guys, where do I even start?
I plan to get a trunk and put the spoiler on it, and only install the trunk for race duties. I'll have to drive to/from events with it on, but otherwise it will only be on at the track.
Thanks for any literature, advice, book recommendations, etc. This is on a long list of things I need to do!!
