Aerodynamics
I just wanted to get some input on the aerodynamics, and what's the best mod for it on the S. I did a few runs and going fast in this little car at higher speeds it feels unstable and feels like it's all over the place. I wanted to know what would be the best mod for this car to stick better to the ground and feel more stable and more comfortable at higher speeds? Wing,Diffuser,CR front lip?
All inputs welcome thx

You've already wrecked your S spinning out in the cold. Cut that crap out before you kill yourself or someone else. Those "high speed runs" are likely on cold, public roads with summer performance tires. I'm going to lay money that you weren't talking about street legal speeds in street legal situations.
You don't need aero, you need heat in the tires and better road conditions.

So it's been twice now that i have spun out with the S, recently. The tires i have on the rear are RE-11, which i found out are horrible at cold temp. and don't grip at all. First incident i had i gunned it on 1st and 2nd on a cold wet street, I was not thinking right and i was going home from a buddies house and I always gun it there on a long stretch and i hit 2nd gear the rear end just snapped and i went flying thru a neighbors yard messing up my rear trunk, breaking the 3rd break light, and the rear bumper damaged. A tought lesson learned and it could have been worse, oh and the steering was of. The second incident was the other night, I was at a friends house and two hours later i walk out and its snow and ice all over the road. I didnt know a snow storm was coming, or not that bad so i drive very slow home going 20mph all the way home the main streets were okay, as soon as i got into my neighborhood i stumble upon some ice patch going 15 and just spin out luckily no one was around and i didnt hit anything. It's just crazy how easy it is to lose control over this little car, and I think i need a new set of tires or something. Any suggestions on tires or anything.
