Stillen front splitter, and downforce/aerodynamics

I've noticed that when going fast, the front of the car seems light... Like there is a lot of lift underneath the front bumper that makes steering too light at higher speeds...

To all who have installed the Stillen front splitter, have you noticed increased stability at high speeds? Increased precision, and less front lift under hard acceleration?

I'd imagine it won't be night and day, but any noticeable difference is an improvement. I'm talking 70-100mph.

Thanks

nice... So the splitter specifically made you notice a difference too?

ive had my car at 100-115 for extended periods of time several times... And when the car was new, it felt like 70mph... But somehow my steering has gotten much lighter than when new, even in sport mode, at all speeds. And my car pulls to the left on top of that... And so at that same speed, it's a little less precise and less confidence inspiring... Even at 70mph for that matter...

So my hope is that the Stillen front splitter will help put more weight on the front wheels and make the steering a bit heavier at higher speeds
