I'll do my first auto-cross in June in Steamboat at the Rocky Mountain Mustang Roundup and was wonder if anyone has auto-crossed with the big LS spoiler up front? My car is lowered with a stiffened suspension and has a similar spoiler (Aggressor Airflow) that sits pretty low to the ground and was curious if I should consider removing it for the tight turns? Any feedback would be appreciated.

If you have no issues with spoiler scrapping now, I would not worry about it.

I quick turn at speed in a walmart parking lot after hours should show you any problems.

Autocross are not high speed events, generally speaking. A whole lot of fun though.

You can't get there from here...
A small concern would be the action of the cone as it gets run over, the base is going to be prying up on the under side of the splitter ?
I'm not saying you're gonna mow down any cones, but if you did...

One guy in our club with a CF splitter at the front had some cracking after several events...
Althought I think the front splitter is much thicker on the LS than what he had?

Good luck,
Don
