Description
The Verus Engineering Two-Piece Front Splitter is designed for the 2017–2021 Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, and Toyota GT86 to increase front-end downforce, improve high-speed front-end grip, and work aerodynamically with the Verus Engineering Rear Diffuser.
Developed using state-of-the-art aerodynamic analysis software, the splitter was designed to work as part of a balanced aerodynamic system. The front splitter and rear diffuser were developed together to improve overall vehicle aerodynamic performance while maintaining an effective front-to-rear balance.
Verus Engineering also utilized in-house scan data during development to achieve a near-OEM fit and finish.
The two-piece splitter blade design offers practical advantages for owners. Splitting the blade into two sections helps reduce shipping costs and makes replacement easier if one section is damaged. Replacement half-splitter pieces can be purchased individually.
The kit also includes the Verus Engineering Front Splitter Tie Kit (PN A0004A) to provide additional rigidity and durability for the two-piece splitter blade system.
Designed for enthusiasts who want to combat front-end lift and increase traction at high speeds, the Verus Engineering Two-Piece Front Splitter is an effective upgrade for both street-driven and track-focused vehicles.

Aerodynamic Science
A front splitter helps increase front-end downforce by creating a pressure differential between the airflow above and below the splitter. By managing airflow underneath the front of the vehicle, the splitter helps reduce front-end lift and increase aerodynamic load on the front axle.
The Verus Engineering Two-Piece Front Splitter was developed to provide additional front-end grip while maintaining a safe and balanced aerodynamic package.
The splitter was designed together with the Verus Engineering Rear Diffuser, allowing the front and rear aerodynamic components to work together rather than treating each component as an isolated upgrade.
Ventus 1 Aerodynamic Package
The Verus Engineering Street Front Splitter is part of the Ventus 1 aerodynamic package for the Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, and Toyota GT86.
Ventus 1 is designed to improve aerodynamic performance over the factory configuration while maintaining a safe and balanced aerodynamic setup. The package is intended for enthusiasts who regularly attend track days and want an effective aerodynamic system that maintains balance at speed.
All components within the Ventus 1 package were designed to work together as a complete aerodynamic system.
For drivers looking for additional downforce beyond the Ventus 1 configuration, Verus Engineering offers the Ventus 2 package.
Front-End Grip and Aero Balance
The additional front-end downforce generated by the splitter helps increase front-end grip at speed. This makes the splitter particularly useful for drivers looking to improve high-speed cornering performance.
The additional front aerodynamic load can also help balance various rear aerodynamic devices, making the splitter a useful component when building a more comprehensive aerodynamic setup.
Two-Piece Splitter Design
The splitter blade uses a two-piece construction rather than a single large blade.
This design provides practical benefits for owners by reducing shipping costs and making damaged sections easier to replace. If one half of the splitter is damaged during street or track use, replacement half-splitter pieces can be purchased rather than replacing the complete blade.
The included splitter tie assemblies, clevises, and support hardware help provide rigidity and durability for the two-piece system.
Installation
The Verus Engineering Two-Piece Front Splitter is designed for a simple bolt-on installation.
The kit includes the splitter brackets, crash beam brackets, splitter tie assemblies, clevises, support bracket, and required hardware. The included Front Splitter Tie Kit (PN A0004A) provides additional structural support for the two-piece splitter blade.
