That'll do so :lol:
 
Although I heard that the spoiler only really works at speeds of over 70mph they are the speeds that I won't like to find out that I should have kept it on. If you want a change put not so dramatic I have a flat spoiler there in WR blue. :subaru:
 
I wouldn't be concerned about loosing downforce with out the spoiler,
Foresters don't have them and I've done well over 240KPH with no stability issues,
She is tail happy on track but that is a suspension setup thing!

I think they look well as long as they are nice and low, and wide wheels!

Subaru spoilers don't work at any speed, with the exception of newage cars that have the wing fitted over the top of the rear windscreen which directs the airflow over the spoiler to add downforce..

I'd be very concerned about messing with the aerodynamics-this bloke did and as soon as he lifted off :icon_eyes: :icon_eyes:

I wouldnt have thought that ive seen paper etc get pinned to my spoiler before and i would have thought the higher the speed the more they push the tail down it wouldnt make sense to me for it to be just for show especially as a factory standard on a lightweight car

I didnt say there was no airflow over them, just not enough to make them useful.. There would be enought force to push a piece of paper over your spoiler alright but nowhere near enough airflow to force the car into the ground... Big difference in the force required for the 2... Its been proven in wind tunnels :thumbsup:
