Description
Take the aerodynamics of your C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to the next level with the Verus Engineering High Downforce Front Splitter Kit. Designed for dedicated street and track enthusiasts, this high-performance front aero system is engineered to generate substantial front-end downforce while maintaining efficient aerodynamic performance.
Developed using vehicle scan data, CFD analysis, and iterative aerodynamic testing, the Verus Engineering High Downforce Front Splitter is designed to work as part of a balanced aerodynamic package. Its size and aerodynamic characteristics make it particularly well suited for Corvette builds running larger rear aerodynamic systems, helping provide the front-end grip needed to maintain a more balanced vehicle at high speeds.
The splitter uses a large pressure differential between its upper and lower surfaces to generate front-end downforce with a relatively low increase in drag. Multiple chassis mounting locations provide a strong and durable mounting system, while recessed hardware locations help minimize aerodynamic disruption and provide a clean, factory-like appearance.

Important Fitment Note: This is the Verus Engineering High Downforce Front Splitter Kit for the C8 Corvette Stingray. It is designed as a high-downforce front aerodynamic solution for C8 Corvette builds and is particularly suited to vehicles equipped with significant rear aerodynamic systems. Verify your specific C8 configuration and existing aerodynamic components before ordering.
High-Downforce Aerodynamic Design
The Verus Engineering High Downforce Front Splitter Kit is designed to extract maximum aerodynamic performance from the available packaging space. CFD analysis was used to optimize the splitter, air dam, and diffuser tunnel combination for increased front-end downforce and improved aerodynamic efficiency.
The system is designed to complement larger rear aerodynamic packages, helping counteract rear downforce and maintain a more balanced aerodynamic setup. A properly balanced vehicle is easier to control at the limit and can provide greater confidence during high-speed cornering and track driving.
The splitter is capable of generating and withstanding 500+ lbs of downforce, making it an ideal choice for serious track-focused C8 Corvette builds.
Carbon Polyweave Splitter Construction
The main splitter blade is manufactured from carbon polyweave, a carbon thermoplastic material used in high-level motorsports applications. Compared with traditional brittle carbon fiber and ABS plastic, carbon polyweave provides a combination of lightweight construction, stiffness, and durability.
The material is designed to resist the cracking associated with more brittle splitter materials while avoiding the tendency of aluminum splitters to catch and bend underneath the vehicle.
Carbon Fiber Air Dam
The kit includes a three-piece carbon fiber air dam designed to bring the front splitter closer to the vehicle's underbody and improve the aerodynamic performance of the overall system.
The carbon fiber construction also complements other Verus Engineering carbon fiber aerodynamic components for a cohesive appearance across the vehicle.
Optimized Diffuser Tunnels
Two large diffuser tunnels are included to improve airflow management underneath the Corvette. The diffuser tunnels are optimized through CFD to help improve the efficiency of the splitter system and manage airflow beneath the vehicle.
The included carbon nylon diffuser tunneling is 3D printed in-house by Verus Engineering and is specifically designed to integrate with the splitter system.
Strong Chassis Mounting System
The splitter is supported by a dedicated chassis mounting system consisting of steel and aluminum support components. Multiple chassis mounting points distribute aerodynamic loads across the vehicle and provide the strength required for high-speed operation.
All required stainless-steel hardware and installation templates are included to simplify installation.

Installation
The Verus Engineering High Downforce Front Splitter Kit uses multiple chassis mounting locations for a strong and durable installation. Recessed hardware locations help maintain clean airflow across the splitter surface.
Verus Engineering provides detailed installation documentation and installation support for its products. Due to the size of the splitter and the importance of proper mounting and alignment, professional installation is recommended, particularly for vehicles intended for high-speed track use.
Track-Focused Aerodynamic Performance
The High Downforce Carbon Polyweave Front Splitter represents a step above Verus Engineering's WF Spec Front Splitter configuration and is designed for dedicated track drivers seeking substantially greater front-end downforce than the Ventus 3 configuration.
The system was developed through an iterative engineering process using advanced aerodynamic analysis and is designed to work as part of a complete aerodynamic package. When properly matched with a rear wing and diffuser, the splitter helps create a more effective and predictable front-to-rear aerodynamic balance.
