Default Front splitter down force question.

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/59700/s4_b5_front_splitter.jpg"></center><p>
I wanted an opinion on if you think this splitter would actualy add down force, I was rececntly out for a drive and hit 160, the car felt a little flaoty and I am looking for a way to solve this. I do not think that this is the most beautiful thing to put on my car and would not pt it on permantly but only when I go on drives like I did last night.I was also interested in if the rear lip spoilers add any down force and which would add the most out of the Top Spin, LLtek, and M3?

oh, nevermind.. I see you have PS2s. I'm guessing you didn't do this on the LM22s ;-)

Default Alignment is good, but....

I have damaged CPP upper controle arms on, and the car was in an accident over the summer and I don't know if it is perfectly square.
