vortex generators

I just helped my buddy put one on his Lancer. I didnt notice any difference, but who the hell knows, that Mitsubishi report was pretty scientifically conclusive. Plus, girls think random bits of plastic on your car are sexy.

+1 lancers are gay as shit especially when people try to make them look like evos.

vortex generators are great if they are used in conjunction with the correct wing height for the targeted speed.

what im trying to say is that an evo mr vortex generators are optimal between "AROUND" 50mph to 80mph. between those speeds it supposedly adds 10 to 15 lbs more of downforce than without one. if you just buy one off EBAY for a 240sx it will help but it may only help at 100mph to 150mph... if you have no wing or if your wing is too high it may only work at very low speeds.
basically if you cant get your car into wind tunnel to find the optimal settings it may be for LOOKS only. and there may be a huge difference between hatch and coupe setups.

it will help with downforce, just at what speed may be a wild guess for our cars until someone does some real testing
