As for what my comments were about, we weren't talking about OEM wings at all, all they are good for is mounting a brake light. And yes a properly designed wing will produce measurable downforce and will aid rear end grip of any car, front or rear wheel drive. I don't think anyone here will argue with that. Quote: secondly the spoiler is only affecting sprung weight. nuff said right there. Lets see, if you increase sprung weight on a spring, you compress it, shure but you also increasing the force on the unsprung weight by the same amount. If you want to talk about engineering, draw a free body diagram of the spring. Quote: most OEM wings are NOT well designed to reduce drag, they are merely a marketing gimmick to sell more cars. See my first comment in this post. And for all the punters out there, if they provide no performance advantage then why were they used on the supertourers.........to increase drag.........yeah right [Report message to a moderator]
