You're finally introducing yourself after some 60 posts?

Just messing with you . Welcome anyway

Those windfans you're talking about are called downplates. Good call wanting to install those. They're a much better mod than a rear spoiler on a FWD car. Seen way too many of those over the years

Downforce is downforce. Rear downforce is just as important if properly setup.

^I would agree with that if there was a just as strong downforce in the front. Otherwise a rear spoiler only is just setting you up for the dangers of aeroplaning on straightaways and increased understeer around corners, both of which the front wheels don't need on our cars.
