Default Downforce Side Diffusers + Rear Canards

Hey guys,

I just recently purchased Downforce Side Diffusers and Downforce Rear Canards. I really like the side diffusers, but I'm a little iffy on the rear canards. To me they look tacky and ricey up close, but I think they look good from the side and far away, however, my friends say they like them. Just wondering what the s2k community thinks of them.

Thanks!

I think they look fine.
I think they would look 500% better if you were lowered though...

haha I wish I was lowered. I'm scared I might scrape everything. but I should grow some and just do it.
plus I read that you screw up the handling no matter what coils you get, due to the new geometry of the suspension.



@mark355. hit up downforce.biz they gave me a good deal,. they are pretty cheap in my opinion. but it does not come with the middle sharkfin diffuser.

I like the subtle side diffusers, but the rear canards do look tacky... like you're trying too hard to make your car stand out or something. I think rear canards and diffusers ruin the lines of S2Ks and look utterly ridiculous on street driven cars.

As far as lowering, maybe just do something mild, like a one inch drop with Swift Sport Mach or Eibach Pro Kit springs. They'll slightly stiffen it up and work well enough with the stock dampers.
