the rear of the kit may have some benefits to aero but not the front i reckon
the rear blade is adjustable on the spoiler but the whole thing is too heavy to bother having the blade on minimal downforce and if your on the freeway its an ever bigger waste because you're dragging the weight of the spoiler and getting a pendulum instead of downforce in the worst case scenario
imo you don't need a spoiler unless you have a tight/funky suspension set up and its set up to take 100kph+ long corners
and if you are driving that fast the last thing you want is weight on the very end of the rear of the car in case you hit a bump (or dip) anywhere on the corner or need to change direction or brake suddenly
rear bumper if you put a flat FRP piece underneath it (and the car), might get the air out from under the car faster...

Answer = No benefits. If you like it get
Ferrari, porsche, lambo, etc etc etc.
Thats what a spoiler is for to put downward pressure (weight) on the back of the car to give it more grip. The faster you go the more downforce you want if you are going round corners

CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

Only porsche really put their motor in the back but its a flat engine aswell so its not that bad and its over the rear axle... the rest have the motor forward of the rear axle...I8AFRE wrote: Thats why all exotic cars have the engines in the backFerrari, porsche, lambo, etc etc etc.
the huge v8 supercar metal spoilers are like ~10-20kg? and they're right on the edge of the boot...

at 100kph it'd just be like a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on a bedroom door in a FWD car because your f*cked!
