Title: Front spoiler - more stable at higher speeds?
Post by: vtecfour on March 11, 2018, 02:59:05 AM
Considering an add on front spoiler for my Mini VTEC. It looks to be 5 - 6 inches tall and has brake duct openings.

Think the car will be more stable at higher speeds? Other benefits?

Good article on page 9. Thanks for that.

Not sure of the manufacturer, but here's the spoiler I'm going to check out.

According to the article this looks like the shape for good aerodynamics.
