Ok... Well alignment and everything else is good so it's just hitting very high speeds that's all. Canards do look nice to me but I don't want to get them just to look nice, especially for the price and with this situation I'm having. I may try out some non-carbon fiber ones later and see how it feels. If it ends up being good, I'll just have them painted on the car... We'll see.. I'll be forever making up my mind about these canards. Lol

A home-made splitter would be nice but once again that would look ghetto sticking out the front with a mugen lip (since it's curved) I would have to mold something but screw that... Wish they had splitters that extended for the mugen lip : (.

i would say he needs a wing... i thought s2000's had rear lift at high speed, which is why a wing can make drastic lap time improvements on a fast track.

(off topic a little) What's a modest wing out there that doesn't look too ricey and still has good function? I've always been iffy about a wing bc although I love function, I don't want to sacrifice looks being my daily too... I do race a lot though lol

I Dont think Canards would do the s2k any good, if it really does perform then it would just only give a relatively stock car more oversteer since it pushes the front lower. I say a wing or aerodynamic underpanels should be a priority.

Sounds like what you might need is a splitter or to lower your car!

the mugen lip for the ap2 bumper is actually a very functional splitter
