front splitters help keep the front end of the car planted.

I installed my splitter about a month ago and i can't tell the difference at all..all i get is extra noise from the wind hitting the splitter.

I got it mainly for looks anyways.

I read that the Mugen splitter stabilizes the car during sudden braking. I feel like most front aero is only marginally functional, if that. However everyone seems to think the Amuse R1 bumper does actually reduce lift. However its $$$ and takes a while to get. But APR makes a lip that simulates the same concept.

The new S2000 CR front aero is claimed to create zero lift... and considering how drastic that design is, I'd say that most other aftermarket stuff does pretty much nothing.
