Description
The Verus Engineering Street Side Splitters for the Honda Civic Type R FK8 are designed to combine functional aerodynamic performance with an aggressive, OEM-plus appearance. By controlling airflow along the sides of the vehicle, these side splitters help keep high-pressure air on top of the car, reducing unwanted lift and improving aerodynamic performance at speed.
Using state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis during development, Verus Engineering optimized the side splitter design to ensure it performs as intended while maintaining a clean, integrated appearance.
Verus Engineering developed these side splitters using in-house scan data from the vehicle. This approach allows the components to achieve a near-OEM fit and finish while providing a functional aerodynamic upgrade.
The side splitters are an excellent addition for Honda Civic Type R owners looking to complete their aerodynamic package, reduce vehicle lift, and improve high-speed performance. They can also be paired with a Verus Engineering Ventus aerodynamic package for a more comprehensive approach to vehicle aero balance.

Aerodynamic Performance
The Verus Engineering Side Splitters were developed to reduce unwanted aerodynamic lift without negatively affecting drag. Testing showed a 5-point reduction in vehicle lift with no change in drag, allowing the side splitters to improve aerodynamic performance with minimal aerodynamic penalty.
The side splitters accomplish this by reducing the amount of high-pressure airflow from the upper portion of the vehicle that can migrate underneath the car. By controlling this airflow, the side splitters help generate additional aerodynamic load and improve vehicle stability at speed.
For enthusiasts looking to build a more complete aerodynamic setup, the Side Splitters can be incorporated into a Verus Engineering Ventus aerodynamic package to further improve vehicle performance and aerodynamic balance.
Installation
The Verus Engineering Side Splitters are designed for a straightforward, non-invasive installation. The kit includes all required mounting hardware, and no sheet metal screws are used.
