Description
The Verus Engineering Dive Plane (Canard) Kit for the Subaru WRX VB is designed to increase front-end downforce without requiring the front splitter to be moved farther forward. Properly designed dive planes can generate downforce directly on the dive plane while also improving airflow evacuation from the front wheel wells.
Verus Engineering focused the development of this kit on manipulating airflow around the vehicle to improve aerodynamic performance. By optimizing the design for the available build volume, the dive planes provide increased aerodynamic performance while maintaining a clean, integrated appearance.
Utilizing state-of-the-art CFD analysis during the R&D process, Verus Engineering extracted additional performance from the available space and optimized the dive planes to increase the amount of downforce generated.
The dive plane kit is designed for Subaru WRX owners who want to shift their aerodynamic balance forward. This makes the kit particularly useful for balancing a larger rear wing or rear diffuser and creating a more balanced aerodynamic setup at speed.

Aerodynamic Performance
Properly designed dive planes can increase front-end grip and cornering performance by increasing front-end downforce while reducing lift in other areas of the vehicle.
Verus Engineering utilized OpenFOAM CFD software during development to optimize the dive plane design. This allowed the engineering team to extract more aerodynamic performance from the available build volume on the Subaru WRX VB.
The dive planes are part of the Verus Engineering Ventus 1 aerodynamic package for the VB WRX. The Ventus 1 package is designed to increase downforce while maintaining a safe and predictable aerodynamic balance at speed.
By improving the aerodynamic balance of the VB WRX, the Verus Engineering Ventus 1 package helps the vehicle make better use of its tires on track while also increasing driver confidence during high-speed street driving.
For customers looking for a greater increase in downforce, the Verus Engineering Ventus 2 package provides a more aggressive aerodynamic solution.
