My car with front-dam only gets pretty light and bouncy in the rear at 120+ speeds. I spoke with Roger Sheridan at the track recently, and he suggested a 6-inch "flap" spoiler for my car, so I'm planning to start there. He makes gorgeous fiberglass stuff. I can't run a leading-edge wing without taking a hit under POC rules.

A pic would be of interest but not crucial - more importantly (I assume you're using one), did you see a worthwhile benefit from it? FWIW the front spoiler I usually use, as seen in my avatar, is also Roger's and he was aware of that when suggesting the 6" rear to go with it. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with all above that you need to balance front/rear down force. The sheridan flip spoiler does add rear downforce. Along with it, I use this front airdam with a splitter.  I recommend the Sheridan rear spoiler. |
