Will lip need balanced in rear?
1.6L HPDE/Dual duty. Engine w/ I/H/E, MS2 & E85. Xidas w/ 700/400, RS-4 195s on 7". Still learning but getting faster each time. As a 1.6, every bit of help counts. I'm considering putting a GV lip on, more to reduce drag than for lift reduction, though I know it will reduce lift.
Will it alter balance enough that I'll need to add a duckbill, etc., at the rear or just tweak suspension to rebalance? Any guesses? I'd like to avoid making the car too boi-racer. |
No. I doubt you'll even notice the difference between lip/no-lip.

All I have is a GV lip....I put it on 3 track days ago...I haven't noticed any positive benefit or caused any downside (other then clearance when I load it on the trailer!). Was very neutral in the corners before and still is.
I will probably do a bumper cut next before doing any more aero... |
You will never notice it.
Look at the setup every Spec Miata in the country uses. And don't cut the bumper, looks stupid and doesn't do anything. |
You won't notice a difference. The only thing that may be measurable is a decrease in drag, but any decrease in lift wouldn't be as forward biased as you're assuming. Also, nothing wrong with a bumper cut, there's a lot of evidence, data, and testing that the bumper produces drag.

Lip by itself wont do much, but if you combine it with a plywood mushroom shaped undertray, you can get noticeable downforce improvement.
