This rear spoiler doesnt look too bad, but its so small I doubt it does anything when it is down. However, when it comes UP im not sure it disrupts air flow so bad to make the car behave wierd than it does actually help brake the car. If anything, wont this cause lift, similar to how the flaps work on a plane?

Looks like quality craftsmanship to build something like that and not have it break off at high speed.

Post your ideas and thoughts.

I think your better off just upgrading your brakes to 8 pot fronts and 6 pot rears and powering your way out of the turns.

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
What does this have to do with a G? This thread will probably get moved to the Lounge, Other Cars.

The fact it activates when ever you touch the brakes seems like overkill to me. Might be a cooler idea if it only came up when you hit the brakes going over a certain MPH.

Not a good idea imo, I agree with blue dream that it shouldn't activate all the time. Plus how do these guys know how that is going to affect handling and stability? I wouldn't ever be the one to test that rig trying to slow down from a high speed on a tight turn...

I agree with everyone above but if it were to become some kind of production they would have to put a speed sensor on it or something to sense movement, like our cars have for the NAV, how it locks you out when your rolling, which sucks by the way, especially when you have a passenger. But anyways, I'm sure it doesn't really do anything for the car.

Seems like an over-simplified version of what the hypercars utilize, and like most things over-simplified, I too wonder about its effectiveness Looks ok when its down tho

Ahh jeez you should really look around on the forums before you waste such a large amount of money on a stupid product, if you are going to buy that you might as well just buy the clutch engagement fix too lol.

Here you go: https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-cou...ss-bypass.html

You can just give me all the extra money you saved

it is only for high speed driving, controlled inside the car for high speed driving.

One of my cars has one of these that is actually functional. It is much more complicated than this one but it is responsible for about 60% of my Veyron's braking capacity.
