Body Kits Affect Aerodynamics
#1
what are sum body kits that actually add down force, ive heard feed and re amemiya but what else, because ive heard alot of horrable storys about body kits flying of while driving and stock rx7s lifting into the air of course its not till 140+ but i was just intrested on any body kits that possitivley affect aerodynamics ?
just throw out their pple

front bumpers with a larger front spoiler and adjustable wings will create more downforce.... but side skirts dont do anything

best way to improve aerodynamics is to create a panel that covers the whole bottom of your car.... no turbulance at the bottom= downforce yo

by giving a correct path and non-disturbance corrected directed airway for the air that is coming through the front, you will be able to (theorectically) negate any lift force which is normally associated with interrogated fronts..
think of it more like...
if you ever put your hand out of a window at regular speed (ie 60mph+)
put your hand out, and turn it various angles.
then, try making your hand a V-ish structure (i.e. bending your hand, and moving your fingers..) you'll see how how the air moves... it moves the same way across surfaces on your car!

right, but i was more specifically wondering about aftermarket kits, like i kno that Mazda Speed has been wind tunnel tested to perform at high speeds but i was wondering abotu any others that can maintain speeds of 140+ like cwest, feed, ings etc etc
thank you

where are you going to drive faster than 140 ?
Veilside tests their kits in wind tunnels, and so does MazdaSpeed.
BTW Martin, your statement was incorrect. Putting an underbody panel to cover the whole underbody is not a good way to go. At higher speeds, it will act like a wing and can fly the car off the ground with the slightest change in elevation. Just look at LeMans cars, I'm sure they have some holes to prevent air from collecting under the pannel.
