How does the Side Splitter Kit for C8 add downforce?

High-pressure air that spills from the sides of the car onto the underbody creates lift. The Side Splitter Kit for C8 uses a horizontal member to cut that spillage, so the body sees less lift than it does from the factory and overall downforce rises. Verus Engineering notes the effect is strongest in yaw, while the car is turning.

What is carbon polyweave?

Carbon polyweave is a carbon thermoplastic composite used in several forms of racing, including IndyCar, NASCAR and F1. Verus Engineering uses it for parts that sit close to the ground because it has the strength and look of carbon with the durability of plastic, and it handles impacts much better than carbon fiber.

Do the side splitters work without a front splitter or wing?

Yes. Verus Engineering presents the side splitters as a bump in downforce on their own, mainly while turning, for anyone from the casual driver to the regular track day participant. They also belong to its Ventus 2 package for the Stingray, alongside the WF Spec Front Splitter Kit and a UCW rear wing.

Where are the Verus side splitters made?

Verus Engineering cuts the side splitters in house at its facility in Indianapolis, Indiana, which lets it control the quality of each part. They ship as a left and right pair with a hardware kit, stainless fasteners and the templates needed for installation.

Can the side splitters survive contact with the ground?

Yes, better than most materials. Carbon polyweave will not grab and bend the way aluminum does, nor crack and break like carbon fiber and ABS units, according to Verus Engineering. That durability matters on a part mounted low along the sides of a Corvette Stingray, where curbs and steep driveway entries are a regular hazard.

Description

Verus Engineering Carbon Polyweave Side Splitter Kit for C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

Verus Engineering’s Carbon Polyweave Side Splitter Kit for C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray adds a horizontal member along each side of the car, shaped to flow with the factory side splitter. That member limits how much high-pressure air spills under the car, which cuts lift and so adds downforce. Verus notes the effect is strongest in yaw, while the car is turning, and smaller in a straight line. Fit them for mid-corner grip on a Stingray that sees track days; they also complete the side profile of a car wearing the Verus splitter and wing.

Construction

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.
