PAIT, do you have any further info on the active wings on the Cooper S coupe? I guess I should clarify. Is that something that is only active when you hit 70mph on the highway? Or will it be used under braking as well? Could it be used at the track for increased traction.
I wouldn't have a single clue about aero braking with this car or even a switch to manually have it raise for ricer points or track days. If it is engineered to raise at 50mph then that's where I'd keep it unless I'm at a track day I would fix it permanent to not wear the motor out.
