What does the Front Splitter for ND do on a Miata?

The Front Splitter for ND counters the front-end lift that the stock ND Miata produces at speed. By adding front downforce, Verus Engineering says it improves cornering grip at high speed, can reduce lap times and raises cornering speed. Paired with the Verus rear diffuser, it gives the car a good aero balance with lower drag than stock.

Which material does Verus use for the ND splitter blade?

The blade is a hard, durable plastic, mounted on a dedicated front splitter bracket with stainless hardware. Verus Engineering tested the design in CFD during development and makes the splitter in the U.S.A., and in-house scan data of the ND gives it a near OEM fit against the factory bumper.

Does the ND splitter work best alongside the Verus rear diffuser?

Yes. Verus Engineering developed the splitter to offset rear downforce from parts such as its ND rear diffuser, and with both fitted the car gains a good aero balance and lower overall drag than a factory Miata. Because the two parts reduce lift and drag together, the aerodynamic efficiency of the car rises as well.

Is the splitter hard to install?

No. Verus Engineering calls the install a simple bolt-on job. The kit contains the splitter blade, a front splitter bracket and every piece of hardware required, and Verus publishes an install manual and an informative packet. The stainless hardware resists corrosion on a part that sits low at the front of the car.

Can the splitter improve fuel economy?

Yes, modestly, according to Verus Engineering, which lists increased gas mileage among its benefits. Reducing front lift together with overall drag improves the aerodynamic efficiency of the car, and the effect grows with speed. The main purpose remains more front grip at high speed, so treat any mileage gain as a bonus on a track-focused build.

Description

Verus Engineering Front Splitter for ND Mazda MX-5 Miata

Verus Engineering’s Front Splitter for ND Mazda MX-5 Miata answers the front-end lift the ND carries from the factory, adding front downforce that improves grip in fast corners. Verus sized it to offset moderate rear aero, which makes it the natural partner for its rear diffuser; with the two fitted, Verus reports a good aero balance and lower overall drag than a stock car. Its brief is moderate rear loads, so it suits a Miata with a diffuser or an efficient wing more than an all-out race build.

Design and Build

The blade is a hard, durable plastic mounted on a dedicated bracket with stainless hardware, and Verus makes it in the U.S.A. CFD testing during development confirmed it makes enough downforce to offset rear components, and in-house scan data of the ND gives it a near OEM fit. Because it trims drag as well as lift, Verus also lists better gas mileage among its benefits.

About Verus Engineering

Verus Engineering designs aerodynamic and performance parts in Indianapolis, Indiana. Two engineers founded it in late 2014 as Velox Motorsports and renamed it in 2017 after a trademark dispute; verus is Latin for true or complete. Each design starts from a 3D scan of the car, is developed with CFD and finite element analysis and is validated on track, across more than 20 platforms from the GR86 to the C8 Corvette.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
