Ridgeline Motorsport A90 GT4+ Front Splitter Installation

[tylers65t]

Hi everyone, longtime lurker at the forums here. Figured I'd crosspost this video here. For those of you curious about the new Ridgeline Motorsport A90 splitter, I put together a quick video. In short, the install is quite similar to the Racebred kit, but with a few slight differences.



I found the thread by starteri3igpete very helpful with the whole process. Make sure to remove those fender liners!

If anyone has any questions please feel free to drop them below. I will do my best to answer. Also this is not a paid or sponsored post by Ridgeline! Purely trying to help out those that are interested.

Looks kinda sponsored.

EDIT: So that I "contribute" to the thread -- A friend of mine is working w/ them and has been posting a lot of content. It's honestly making the gears turn in my head.

If my Verus V1X rear wing sold, I'd buy the whole ridgeline kit tbh and just enjoy life in Gridlife Street Mod.

I have been hoping someone in the forums would post about this new kit from RM. I’ve never had aero on a car before and this seems like a good option without breaking the bank.. what splitter did you have before this one? And why the change? Thanks

Where can I see this content? Does he have the full kit?

Since this kit doesnt have front tension rods (or cables, but we know those are useless), the angle is being held by bolt friction. I am almost certain it will slip after your first track day or highway driving.

I HIGHLY recommend just preemptively buying the ProAwe rod kit today. Unless you dont mind pulling the bumper and re-adjusting every few weeks.

Definitely needs more front support. I’m partial to AJ Hartman rods myself.

Not sponsored unfortunately! They did give me a small discount since instructions were not available..

I had a basic Verus splitter before this. I changed partially for aesthetics and also wanting something with splitter diffusers.

The kit does come with tension cables, however I’m not 100% satisfied with them. One was shorter than the other even when maxed out.

The kit does come with tension cables that mount underneath the headlight brackets, however I know those aren’t foolproof. I’d say it is very easy to achieve and hold 0 AOA with the kit. The chassis mount brackets are machined so the bolts can’t slip. In addition to this, the front of the splitter is connected to the lip via bolts. It’s kinda a double edged sword however, making it harder to get other than 0 AOA out of it.

Every kit has its compromises but it’s one I’m willing to live with for my application.
