Re: Spoiler idea...
Beat me to it.
To the OP.. I wouldn't go adding extra stuff like that on until you have some idea that it will work. It's very possible that a spoiler won't even be in freeair, or that the amount of down force it will produce will be enough make the drag it creates a worthwhile compromise. If you just add something on, it's very possible you may make your car slower.
How you actually find out the answers to those questions isn't easy, but that's my point.
And whoever thinks that FWD cars don't need down force, you're fooling yourself. More rear down force means more lateral grip; it doesn't matter what end of the car your drive wheels are on. It just depends on whether you're making a drag car or a track car.

I understand it can hurt more than help, and downforce at the ass end would be a great thing to have, especially since I'm bracing/swaybaring the rear end. For VIR I will have a functional splitter via a spare bumper (mugen style as ugly as it is- to improve airflow)
That's the mugen front.
If this just sucks too much ass, M3 Lip it is.
the materials will be free to me, so why not?

Re: Spoiler idea...
You should do this for aesthetics, I don't think you're going to get much in the way of performance from this. That Mugen bumper isn't helping either, all that airflow that goes through the bumper instead of around the car creates more drag.

Re: Spoiler idea...
If you plan on doing tracking, do it before you go turbo. Learn how to drive your car, then add power.
NismoSE-R's 150whp shitbox was running circles around 200whp ITRs and a Evo IX because he knew how to drive his car, carry speed and compress his braking zones better than they did.
