Message	But seriously it was noticable and unexpected (at near full extension). At highway speeds it definately changed the viewing angle through the windshield as well as gave more response in steering. It was a noticable change to someone who drives the car. I trust that you could tell an instantaneous difference on your own cars that you are familiar with as well. Who knows what the actual number of downforce was, but it was definately there. 100lbs I just kinda pulled out of my ass. Go to splparts.com go to gallery and check out the front lip on that z32. I wonder if it was wind tunnel tested with documented results? I'm sure the driver of that car could speak well to the changes a simple lip makes... ___________________ "If everybody is thinking alike, somebody isn't thinking." ~~ George S. Patton
