So I am actually looking for an (affordable) solution to push the front down
Any suggestions?
My boxster came with the factory the speedster kit . Not only did I hate the way it looked, but the humps were awkward and clunky and a total pain in the a** to put on and take off . (I can only imagine what a cheap aftermarket set would be like ). To answer your question, the humps are purely cosmetic, and they offer no aerodynamic advantages . If you're looking to create frontal downforce, I suggest investing in a functional high quality aftermarket bumper . Functional being the operative word .
