the truth to all about rear spoilers

alrigh these past couple day's i've been going around the bbs looking at random topics and SOMEHOW the rear spoiler always comes into play, now i know there are osme ppl out there that know when and when not to use them, and know their true purpose. as well as there are some ppl out there that DONT" know their purpose, well here it is, now remember these statements are for in speeds over i'd say around 50+ b/c thats when the spoiler takes into effect more so then before those speeds

Rear Aerodynamic Components
Rear wings, spoilers and diffusers are all components that can be utilized to product downforce in rear of the vehicle. These components are especially useful to the following vehicles.

Front-Engine/Front-Wheel Drive (FF):
Because FF vehicles are lighter in the rear, it is important to add more downforce in the rear to achieve more balance. Rear wings and spoilers can do both of these effects.


Front-Engine/Rear-Wheel Drive (FR):
The engine output from FR cars comes from the rear two wheels. To help delivery the output from the rear wheels, aerodynamic components such as rear wings can help create downforce giving the rear wheels traction.
