wagonist Forums Junkie Toymods Club Treasurer Location: Sydney Registered: May 2002	Re: Rear spoilers on FWD cars Thu, 04 March 2004 02:02 Rear wings can be effective, and at speeds less than 160km/h. Seen a rally car flying through the air with its nose heading towards the sky? A lot more drag though, & for a street car very pointless. My wagon (although it has more metal in the back, therefore more weight to keep the rear end down) has got a 24mm swaybar on its stiffest setting. I can get it unsettled if I'm really hamfisted with cornering, but generally sticks like glue. So, I'd recommend getting springs, shocks, and swaybars matched for better handling. The rear "spoiler" on my car (a factory item added after I bought the car) is only good for keeping crap off the rear window, but may have some slight effect on downforce cause it forces air to stay straight after it comes off the car instead of getting sucked behind the car. I only added it for 2 reasons: 1. it looked better 2. it got rid of the brake light out of the rear window which was blocking my vision. [Report message to a moderator]
