[QUOTE="93SVTCobra, post: 6444757, member: 2124"] It really depends on how serious you are about area doesn't it. Ideally you'd want a nice big wing in the back to provide plenty of downforce wouldn't you but it doesn't appear that you want something that big. I'm not sure where you got your data on Steeda's rear wing being "functional" but I can assure you it doesn't produce any more downforce than it weighs (which I guess isn't half bad because it means it doesn't provide any lift either). The one thing the yarn test won't give you an indication of is drag. By inceasing the size of the factory rear spoiler you will create a larger air pocket behind the car which will cause a good amount of drag. Have you thought about adding spats in front of the wheels to block the air? I don't mean on the side of the vehicle but underneath? Have you made a front belly pan yet? I toyed around with making a rear diffuser modelled after the Ford GT's which would be fairly straight forward with the IRS but it would need to be removable as you'd damage it pretty easily on the street.
