GT2 front splitter pics

Which blade did you use on track at thunder hill? I'm still having a tough time seeing the difference in medium and low blade :/
I should probably get on a laptop..I post from my phone 99% of the time.

this info only serves to further my embarrassment due to my earlier criticism of your fine work.

So I finally got some track time out at Thunderhill (I just moved out to CA, so it's not been priority sadly)
First time out with he splitter, I have to say: I absolutely felt the difference in high(er) speed corners. Lots of front grip that I didn't remember being there
On the topic of deflection -- I hit 135 on the main straight at Thill a few times and observed no issues. No GoPro at the time, but I'm going to hook some up and do a higher speed run. I had my Dad watch as I went down and he said it didn't look like the blade was deforming, either.
Next time out, +canards and video of splitter.
Here's a few pics!

That is the high blade. I'm swapping new coilovers/springs before I try the low one. (Mine have 50k on them, so I figured better safe than sorry)

Update:
Moved out to west coast and tried out the Dive planes at thunderhill last week.
I ended up losing one of my splitters to an...ahem.. "off roading experience"... but it caused zero damage to the car or mount points/etc. Just as designed, the fiberglass gave up before the fasteners to body did. A+ again Joe.
Here's some pics of the new Dive planes. I only attached them with 3M tape. Held up at many 135mph runs no problem. I didn't go past that due to losing a few of the Dzus fasteners holding on the backup splitter.
Car no doubt has more front end grip in mid/high speed corners, but these aren't my home tracks so I can't really say I got "x MPH from the splitter / planes".
