I had posted this inquiry before in the garage but I suppose I really should have posted it here...
I've a Sheridan standard wide-body that I'm having some floating issues with (no doubt due to the sbc anchor out back) and so I've decided to build a splitter in the hopes of keeping things a bit more stable. As you can see I have a duck tail but it's useless for any kind of real downforce nor can I say I'm keen on building a wing as this car is also streeted, but I think a splitter may help. Let's see what ya'll are building/have built! Thanks David  |

David,
I would suggest you leave it be and work on your alignment. I have run a v8/ls car with a splitter and no wing = not pretty. Chase the problem back to tweaking the rear toe - makes a huge difference. The car will be far worse if you just run a splitter of any magnitude. Tony |

I just had my four wheel alignment and corner balancing done by a well known shop for 914's who are associated with Summit Point Motorpark! And when I complained about my front floating in the triple digits, all the go fast guys told me I should add a splitter :-( That said, Rear Camber Toe L -1.64 1/16 R -1.54 1/16 Front (best that could be achieved w/o camber plates) L -.94 1/16 R -.65 1/16 Caster was set to 5 1/4 Corner weight Rear 700 both Front 480 Both. I sometimes wonder if more weight should have gone to the front? Or perhaps having a (stock) rear sway bar as well as a (stock) front sway bar, although I can't see where that would create float :-/ |

I'd have to agree that having a splitter without a substantial rear spoiler or wing seems like it would be de-stabilizing at speed. What symptoms are you seeing and when? On track, street, autox?
