My guess is that it's just a characteristic of 911s. They feel different in the front. But compounding that could be your shocks. How old are the shocks on your car. New shocks can make it feel VERY different. My old '88 felt good, to me, but then I put new Bilstein shocks in. Wow! Enormous difference. You can't tell if you have bad shocks in a 911 with the old "bounce test" like you can with a '76 Monte Carlo.

Also, my '88 had a front lip but no tail. It felt good up until about 130-135, and then it felt a little floaty, but that was with the bad shocks. I suspect that after the new shocks it would have felt much better.

I wouldn't expect you to "need" the aero aids unless your spent a lot of time north of 125mph going around curves and such.
