The purpose of downforce via spoiler is to add the extra pressure on the wheels to make them spin harder. This is why a FWD car DOES NOT need a huge spoiler. The first person to reply to this had the right answer. A 240sx has use for this, as well as a booming stereo in the trunk because all this extra weight goes on the back wheels. In a FWD car it justs slows it down. And if you are thinking a large spoiler will help you it will not. It will merely make you look like a poor ricer who lives in a trailer and has no idea what real downforce is about. Spoilers on FWD cars are merely for show, except at exceptionally high speeds where the back of the car begins to lift off the ground. I heard this is speed is around 100-130mph, maybe higher. And in a ga16de, you would have to be driving WOT for about 5 miles to get your car up to 100mph, if it is even possible for one to go that high. An se-r, however...
