Default Daily Driver Aero Balance

So I'm thinking about purchasing a front splitter, rear diffuser, and this wing that I found that probably isn't functional, but I just like the way it looks lol.
My question is since I wont have any downforce in the back, will the splitter severely mess up the balance? Will the rear diffuser help balance it out a tad?
Also I do plan on autocrossing my S every now and then, but first and foremost its my daily, and I do take it for nightly spirited driving over 70-110mph
If the problem is rear downforce, any suggestions on a low, simple wing? I was looking at the APR wing, but I still want one thatd be lower (if I couldnt get my first choice obviously)

links to the parts Im looking at

Splitter- https://www.zerooffset.com.au/products/honda-ap1-ap2-s2000-front-splitter

Diffuser- https://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/APRFAB-922020.htm

Wing- https://www.tnaauto.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=00HDS2K2DWIN-002

Thanks a ton, this forum is a lifesaver

All that stuff looks more show than functional, I wouldn't worry about any of it affecting balance.

I figured, I've heard some people say that a lip causes alot of downforce but that's probably because alot of people pair it with the CR lip

Lip no, splitter yes.

The specific splitter you posted looks like it curls up at the front? That's not going to help downforce.
It's also not very big and doesn't extend all the way to the back of the bumper. Again, not ideal for downforce.

Sounds like you're going for show instead of go anyways so rock out. Keep her clean.

The splitter part you shared looks more like a lip protector than an actual splitter. It you are looking into a wing, and want something lower; look into a 245mm wing stand.
Or something like the Voltex 1S.


If you want to go for a clean street look. I would look into a CR style wing or a Voltex 1s paired with a JDP diffuser for the rear.
Then probably a CR LIP for the front, and you can always add a splitter below the CR lip in the future if you feel you need too.

Voltex 1S and CR Lip is a nice, functional, look IMO.
