the one that came with the MR clamis to increase downforce by 35% at 110mph + and 2% or more at 60 mph
but every testdriving artical i`ve seen said the difference are not noticable.

hmm, I was just talking to my friend Justin Ellin (2004 USTCC rookie of the year) about that on my other friends EVO. We were debating over the fact of it working or not and why it would or not. He seemed to think that it works better than people think. And I think I would have to agree with him. Myself comming from an aviation background have seen and worked with similar parts on the top of the wings of air planes.

The air speed is defenetlly a big difference between a car and an airplane, but the vortex generators are also a lot smaller on the wings of airplanes.

So in my personal experiece, I belive that they do more than people seem to think. Especially at over 60 mph. But thats just my own oppinion.

Next time you guys do a run from 100mph - 120mph you'll be wishing you had one of these... /sarcasm

Stupid. We are merging the 'race car' + 'street car' image too much now.
